refactor: modularize app.js into ES module architecture

Split the monolithic 5393-line app.js into 32 focused ES modules under
modules/ with a thin ~330-line orchestrator. No bundler required — runs
in-browser via import maps.

Module structure:
  core/     — scene, ticker, state, theme, audio
  data/     — gitea, weather, bitcoin, loaders
  terrain/  — stars, clouds, island
  effects/  — matrix-rain, energy-beam, lightning, shockwave, rune-ring, gravity-zones
  panels/   — heatmap, sigil, sovereignty, dual-brain, batcave, earth, agent-board, lora-panel
  portals/  — portal-system, commit-banners
  narrative/ — bookshelves, oath, chat
  utils/    — perlin

All files pass node --check. No new dependencies.

+## Nexus Data Integrity Standard
+
+**This is law. Every contributor — human or AI — must follow these rules. No exceptions.**
+
+### Core Principle
+
+Every visual element in the Nexus must be tethered to reality. Nothing displayed may present fabricated data as if it were live. If a system is offline, the Nexus shows it as offline. If data doesn't exist yet, the element shows an honest empty state. There are zero acceptable reasons to display mocked data in the Nexus.
+
+### The Three Categories
+
+Every visual element falls into exactly one category:
+
+1. **REAL** — Connected to a live data source (API, file, computed value). Displays truthful, current information. Examples: commit heatmap from Gitea, weather from Open-Meteo, Bitcoin block height.
+
+2. **HONEST-OFFLINE** — The system it represents doesn't exist yet or is currently unreachable. The element is visible but clearly shows its offline/empty/awaiting state. Dim colors, empty bars, "OFFLINE" or "AWAITING DEPLOYMENT" labels. No fake numbers. Examples: dual-brain panel before deployment, LoRA panel with no adapters trained.
+
+3. **DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC** — Visually beautiful and apparently decorative, but its behavior (speed, density, brightness, color, intensity) is driven by a real data stream. The connection doesn't need to be obvious to the viewer, but it must exist in code. Examples: matrix rain density driven by commit activity, star brightness pulsing on Bitcoin blocks, cloud layer density from weather data.
+
+### Banned Practices
+
+- **No hardcoded stubs presented as live data.** No `AGENT_STATUS_STUB`, no `LORA_STATUS_STUB`, no hardcoded scores. If the data source isn't ready, show an empty/offline state.
+- **No static JSON files pretending to be APIs.** Files like `api/status.json` with hardcoded agent statuses are lies. Either fetch from the real API or show the element as disconnected.
+- **No fictional artifacts.** Files like `lora-status.json` containing invented adapter names that don't exist must be deleted. The filesystem must not contain fiction.
+- **No untethered aesthetics.** Every moving, glowing, or animated element must be connected to at least one real data stream. Pure decoration with no data connection is not permitted. Constellation lines (structural) are the sole exception.
+- **No "online" status for unreachable services.** If a URL doesn't respond to a health check, it is offline. The Nexus does not lie about availability.
+
+### PR Requirements (Mandatory)
+
+Every PR to this repository must include:
+
+1. **Data Integrity Audit** — A table in the PR description listing every visual element the PR touches, its category (REAL / HONEST-OFFLINE / DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC), and the data source it connects to. Format:
+
+   ```
+   | Element | Category | Data Source |
+   |---------|----------|-------------|
+   | Agent Status Board | REAL | Gitea API /repos/.../commits |
+   | Matrix Rain | DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC | zoneIntensity (commit count) |
+   | Dual-Brain Panel | HONEST-OFFLINE | Shows "AWAITING DEPLOYMENT" |
+   ```
+
+2. **Test Plan** — Specific steps to verify that every changed element displays truthful data or an honest offline state. Include:
+   - How to trigger each state (online, offline, empty, active)
+   - What the element should look like in each state
+   - How to confirm the data source is real (API endpoint, computed value, etc.)
+
+3. **Verification Screenshot** — At least one screenshot or recording showing the before-and-after state of changed elements. The screenshot must demonstrate:
+   - Elements displaying real data or honest offline states
+   - No hardcoded stubs visible
+   - Aesthetic elements visibly responding to their data tether
+
+4. **Syntax Check** — `node --check app.js` must pass. (Existing rule, restated for completeness.)
+
+A PR missing any of these four items must not be merged.
+
+### Existing Element Registry
+
+Canonical reference for every Nexus element and its required data source:

+| 17 | Holographic Earth | DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC | totalActivity() (rotation speed) | ✅ Tethered |
+| 18 | Energy Beam | DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC | Active agent count | ✅ Tethered |
+| 19 | Gravity Anomaly Zones | DATA-TETHERED AESTHETIC | Portal positions + status | ✅ Tethered |
+| 20 | Brain Pulse Particles | HONEST-OFFLINE | — (dual-brain not deployed, particles OFF) | ✅ Honest |
+
+When a new visual element is added, it must be added to this registry in the same PR.
+
+### Enforcement
+
+Any agent or contributor that introduces mocked data, untethered aesthetics, or fake statuses into the Nexus is in violation of this standard. The merge-bot should reject PRs that lack the required audit table, test plan, or verification screenshot. This standard is permanent and retroactive — existing violations must be fixed, not grandfathered.

+
+> _"When the signal demands the sovereign's eye, write it here."_
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+This scroll is the **single canonical channel** for any agent, contributor, or system operating within the Nexus to escalate matters directly to **Alexander (Rockachopa)** — the sovereign operator.
+
+Issue **[#431 — Master Escalation Thread](http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/431)** is the living thread where all escalations are recorded. Alexander reads this thread and responds in the comments.
+
+---
+
+## When to Escalate
+
+Escalate when a matter meets **any** of the following criteria:
+
+| Signal | Examples |
+|--------|----------|
+| **Sovereignty threat** | Unauthorized access, dependency on external services, data integrity breach |
+| **Blocking decision** | Architecture choice that requires owner sign-off, conflicting directives |
+| **Agent conflict** | Disagreement between agents that cannot be resolved by protocol |
+| **Quality failure** | A merged PR introduced bugs, broken data tethers, or violated the Data Integrity Standard |
+| **System health** | Infrastructure down, Hermes unreachable, critical service failure |
+| **Strategic input needed** | Roadmap question, feature prioritization, resource allocation |
+| **Praise or recognition** | Outstanding contribution worth the sovereign's attention |
+| **Anything beyond your notice** | If you believe it may escape Alexander's awareness and he needs to see it — escalate |
+
+---
+
+## How to Escalate
+
+### Step 1 — Post a comment on Issue #431
+
+Go to: **http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus/issues/431**
+
+Your comment **must** follow this format:
+
+```markdown
+## 🔔 Escalation: [Brief Title]
+
+**Agent/Contributor:** [Your name or identifier]
+**Severity:** [INFO | WARNING | CRITICAL]
+**Related Issue(s):** #N (if applicable)
+**Timestamp:** [ISO 8601]
+
+### Summary
+[2-3 sentences describing what needs Alexander's attention and why]
+
+### Context
+[Relevant details, links, evidence, or data that supports the escalation]
+
+### Recommended Action (optional)
+[What you think should happen — Alexander decides]
+```
+
+### Step 2 — That's it
+
+Alexander receives a **Telegram notification** whenever a new comment is posted to Issue #431. The system monitors the thread automatically. You do not need to ping, DM, or otherwise chase.
+
+---
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Be constructive.** Honest pushback is welcome. Spam gets the banhammer.
+2. **Be specific.** Vague escalations waste the sovereign's time. Include context and evidence.
+3. **One escalation per comment.** Don't bundle unrelated items.
+4. **Don't duplicate.** Check existing comments first. Add to an existing thread if the topic is already raised.
+5. **Severity matters.**
+   - `INFO` — FYI, no immediate action needed
+   - `WARNING` — Needs attention within 24 hours
+   - `CRITICAL` — Needs immediate attention, something is broken or at risk
+
+---
+
+## What Happens After You Escalate
+
+- Alexander reads the thread on his schedule (or immediately for CRITICAL items via Telegram alert).
+- He replies directly in the Issue #431 comment thread.
+- His response is the final word unless further discussion is warranted.
+- Decisions made in the thread are binding and should be reflected in relevant issues/PRs.
+
+---
+
+## This Scroll Is Law
+
+All agents operating in the Nexus — Timmy, Claude, Kimi, Perplexity, and any future agents — **must** use this protocol to escalate to Alexander. There is no other channel. Side-channels, DMs, or buried comments in random issues are not acceptable escalation paths.
+
+**The thread is pinned. The scroll is permanent. Use it wisely.**

+# Hermes Agent Provider Fallback Chain
+
+Hermes Agent incorporates a robust provider fallback mechanism to ensure continuous operation and resilience against inference provider outages. This system allows the agent to seamlessly switch to alternative Language Model (LLM) providers when the primary one experiences failures, and to intelligently attempt to revert to higher-priority providers once issues are resolved.
+
+## Key Concepts
+
+*   **Primary Provider (`_primary_snapshot`)**: The initial, preferred LLM provider configured for the agent. Hermes Agent will always attempt to use this provider first and return to it whenever possible.
+*   **Fallback Chain (`_fallback_chain`)**: An ordered list of alternative provider configurations. Each entry in this list is a dictionary specifying a backup `provider` and `model` (e.g., `{"provider": "kimi-coding", "model": "kimi-k2.5"}`). The order in this list denotes their priority, with earlier entries being higher priority.
+*   **Fallback Chain Index (`_fallback_chain_index`)**: An internal pointer that tracks the currently active provider within the fallback system.
+    *   `-1`: Indicates the primary provider is active (initial state, or after successful recovery to primary).
+    *   `0` to `N-1`: Corresponds to the `N` entries in the `_fallback_chain` list.
+
+## Mechanism Overview
+
+The provider fallback system operates through two main processes: cascading down the chain upon failure and recovering up the chain when conditions improve.
+
+### 1. Cascading Down on Failure (`_try_activate_fallback`)
+
+When the currently active LLM provider consistently fails after a series of retries (e.g., due to rate limits, API errors, or unavailability), the `_try_activate_fallback` method is invoked.
+
+*   **Process**:
+    1.  It iterates sequentially through the `_fallback_chain` list, starting from the next available entry after the current `_fallback_chain_index`.
+    2.  For each fallback entry, it attempts to *activate* the provider using the `_activate_provider` helper function.
+    3.  If a provider is successfully activated (meaning its credentials can be resolved and a client can be created), that provider becomes the new active inference provider for the agent, and the method returns `True`.
+    4.  If all providers in the `_fallback_chain` are attempted and none can be successfully activated, a warning is logged, and the method returns `False`, indicating that the agent has exhausted all available fallback options.
+
+### 2. Recovering Up the Chain (`_try_recover_up`)
+
+To ensure the agent utilizes the highest possible priority provider, `_try_recover_up` is periodically called after a configurable number of successful API responses (`_RECOVERY_INTERVAL`).
+
+*   **Process**:
+    1.  If the agent is currently using a fallback provider (i.e., `_fallback_chain_index > 0`), it attempts to probe the provider one level higher in priority (closer to the primary provider).
+    2.  If the target is the original primary provider, it directly calls `_try_restore_primary`.
+    3.  Otherwise, it uses `_resolve_fallback_client` to perform a lightweight check: can a client be successfully created for the higher-priority provider without fully switching?
+    4.  If the probe is successful, `_activate_provider` is called to switch to this higher-priority provider, and the `_fallback_chain_index` is updated accordingly. The method returns `True`.
+
+### 3. Restoring to Primary (`_try_restore_primary`)
+
+A dedicated method, `_try_restore_primary`, is responsible for attempting to switch the agent back to its `_primary_snapshot` configuration. This is a special case of recovery, always aiming for the original, most preferred provider.
+
+*   **Process**:
+    1.  It checks if the `_primary_snapshot` is available.
+    2.  It probes the primary provider for health.
+    3.  If the primary provider is healthy and can be activated, the agent switches back to it, and the `_fallback_chain_index` is reset to `-1`.
+
+### Core Helper Functions
+
+*   **`_activate_provider(fb: dict, direction: str)`**: This function is responsible for performing the actual switch to a new provider. It takes a fallback configuration dictionary (`fb`), resolves credentials, creates the appropriate LLM client (e.g., using `openai` or `anthropic` client libraries), and updates the agent's internal state (e.g., `self.provider`, `self.model`, `self.api_mode`). It also manages prompt caching and handles any errors during the activation process.
+*   **`_resolve_fallback_client(fb: dict)`**: Used by the recovery mechanism to perform a non-committing check of a fallback provider's health. It attempts to create a client for the given `fb` configuration using the centralized `agent.auxiliary_client.resolve_provider_client` without changing the agent's active state.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The fallback chain is typically defined in the `config.yaml` file (within the `hermes-agent` project), under the `model.fallback_chain` section. For example:
+
+```yaml
+model:
+  default: openrouter/anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6
+  provider: openrouter
+  fallback_chain:
+    - provider: groq
+      model: llama-3.3-70b-versatile
+    - provider: kimi-coding
+      model: kimi-k2.5
+    - provider: custom
+      model: qwen3.5:latest
+      base_url: http://localhost:8080/v1
+```
+
+This configuration would instruct the agent to:
+1.  First attempt to use `openrouter` with `anthropic/claude-sonnet-4.6`.
+2.  If `openrouter` fails, fall back to `groq` with `llama-3.3-70b-versatile`.
+3.  If `groq` also fails, try `kimi-coding` with `kimi-k2.5`.
+4.  Finally, if `kimi-coding` fails, attempt to use a `custom` endpoint at `http://localhost:8080/v1` with `qwen3.5:latest`.
+
+The agent will periodically try to move back up this chain if a lower-priority provider is currently active and a higher-priority one becomes available.

+### Negative Prompt Best Practices
+
+Use plain nouns/adjectives, not instructions:
+```
+blurry, watermark, text overlay, low quality, overexposed,
+deformed, distorted, ugly, bad anatomy, jpeg artifacts
+```
+
+Note: Do NOT write "no blur" or "don't add text" — use the noun form only.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Integration Architecture for the Nexus
+
+**Security requirement:** Never call Imagen APIs from browser-side JavaScript. The API key would be exposed in client code.
+
+### Recommended Pattern
+```
+Browser (Three.js / Nexus) → Backend Proxy → Imagen API → Base64 → Browser
+```
+
+### Backend Proxy (Node.js)
+```javascript
+// server-side only — keep API key in environment variable, never in client code
+async function generateNexusImage(prompt, aspectRatio = '16:9') {
+  const response = await fetch(
+    'https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/models/imagen-3.0-generate-002:predict',
+    {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers: {
+        'x-goog-api-key': process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY,
+        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+      },
+      body: JSON.stringify({
+        instances: [{ prompt }],
+        parameters: {
+          sampleCount: 1,
+          aspectRatio,
+          negativePrompt: 'blurry, watermark, low quality, deformed',
+          addWatermark: true,
+        }
+      })
+    }
+  );
+
+  const data = await response.json();
+  const base64 = data.predictions[0].bytesBase64Encoded;
+  return `data:image/png;base64,${base64}`;
+}
+```
+
+### Applying to Three.js (Nexus app.js)
+```javascript
+// Load a generated image as a Three.js texture
+async function loadGeneratedTexture(imageDataUrl) {
+  return new Promise((resolve) => {
+    const loader = new THREE.TextureLoader();
+    loader.load(imageDataUrl, resolve);
+  });
+}
+
+// Apply to a portal or background plane
+const texture = await loadGeneratedTexture(await fetchFromProxy('/api/generate-image', prompt));
+portalMesh.material.map = texture;
+portalMesh.material.needsUpdate = true;
+```
+
+### Python SDK (Vertex AI)
+```python
+from vertexai.preview.vision_models import ImageGenerationModel
+import vertexai
+
+vertexai.init(project="YOUR_PROJECT_ID", location="us-central1")
+model = ImageGenerationModel.from_pretrained("imagen-3.0-generate-002")
+
+images = model.generate_images(
+    prompt="Nexus orbital station, cyberpunk, 4K, cinematic",
+    number_of_images=1,
+    aspect_ratio="16:9",
+    negative_prompt="blurry, low quality",
+)
+images[0].save(location="nexus_concept.png")
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Comparison to Alternatives
+
+| Feature | Imagen 3/4 | DALL-E 3 / GPT-Image-1.5 | Stable Diffusion 3.5 | Midjourney |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Photorealism** | Excellent | Excellent | Very Good | Excellent |
+| **Text in Images** | Best-in-class | Strong | Weak | Weak |
+| **Cyberpunk/Concept Art** | Very Good | Good | Excellent (custom models) | Excellent |
+| **Portrait Avatars** | Very Good | Good | Excellent | Excellent |
+| **API Access** | Yes | Yes | Yes (various) | No public API |
+| **Price/image** | $0.02–$0.06 | $0.011–$0.25 | $0.002–$0.05 | N/A (subscription) |
+| **Free Tier** | UI only | ChatGPT free | Local run | Limited |
+| **Open Source** | No | No | Yes | No |
+| **Negative Prompts** | Yes | No | Yes | Partial |
+| **Seed Control** | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
+| **Watermark** | SynthID (always) | No | No | Subtle |
+
+### Assessment for the Nexus
+
+- **Imagen 3/4** — Best choice for Google ecosystem integration; excellent photorealism and text rendering; slightly weaker on artistic stylization than alternatives.
+- **Stable Diffusion** — Most powerful for cyberpunk/concept art via community models (DreamShaper, SDXL); can run locally at zero API cost; requires more setup.
+- **DALL-E 3** — Strong natural language understanding; accessible; no negative prompts.
+- **Midjourney** — Premium aesthetic quality; no API access makes it unsuitable for automated generation.
+
+**Recommendation:** Use Imagen 3 (`imagen-3.0-generate-002`) via Gemini API for initial implementation — lowest friction for Google ecosystem, $0.03/image, strong results with the prompt patterns above. Consider Stable Diffusion for offline/cost-sensitive generation of bulk assets.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Key Considerations
+
+1. **SynthID watermark** is always present on all Imagen outputs (imperceptible to human eye but embedded in pixel data). Cannot be disabled on Gemini API; can be disabled on Vertex AI with `addWatermark: false`.
+
+2. **Seed parameter** enables reproducible avatar generation — critical for consistent agent identity across sessions. Requires `addWatermark: false` to work (Vertex AI only).
+
+3. **Prompt enhancement** (`enhancePrompt: true`) is enabled by default — Imagen's LLM rewrites your prompt for better results. Disable to use prompts verbatim.
+
+4. **Person generation controls** are geo-restricted. The `allow_all` setting (adults + children) is blocked in EU, UK, Switzerland, and MENA regions.
+
+5. **Nexus color palette compatibility** — use explicit color keywords in prompts to match the Nexus color scheme defined in `NEXUS.colors` (e.g., specify `#0ff cyan`, `deep purple`, `gold`).
+
+6. **Imagen 3 vs. 4** — Imagen 3 (`imagen-3.0-generate-002`) is the stable proven model at $0.03/image. Imagen 4 Standard improves quality at $0.04/image. Both use identical API structure.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Implementation Roadmap for the Nexus
+
+### Phase 1 — Concept Art Generation (Offline/Pre-generated)
+- Use Python + Vertex AI to generate Nexus concept art images
+- Optimal prompts for: hub environment, portal chamber, exterior shot
+- Store as static assets; apply as Three.js textures
+
+### Phase 2 — Agent Avatar Generation
+- Define avatar prompt templates per agent (Timmy, Kimi, Claude, Perplexity)
+- Generate at 1:1 / 2048×2048 with `seed` for reproducibility
+- Apply as HUD portraits and 3D billboard sprites
+
+### Phase 3 — Live Generation Proxy (Future)
+- Add `/api/generate-image` backend endpoint
+- Allow Nexus to request dynamic portal concept art on-demand
+- Cache results in Cloud Storage for cost efficiency

+# Gemini Deep Research: Comprehensive Sovereignty Tech Landscape
+
+## Introduction
+The concept of sovereignty in the technological realm has rapidly gained prominence as nations, organizations, and individuals seek to assert control over their digital infrastructure, data, and overall technological destiny. This report explores the multifaceted domain of the sovereignty tech landscape, driven by escalating geopolitical tensions, evolving data privacy regulations, and an increasing global reliance on digital platforms and cloud services.
+
+## Key Concepts and Definitions
+
+### Sovereignty in Cyberspace
+This extends national sovereignty into the digital domain, asserting a state's internal supremacy and external independence over cyber infrastructure, entities, behavior, data, and information within its territory. It encompasses rights such as independence in cyber development, equality, protection of cyber entities, and the right to cyber-defense.
+
+### Digital Sovereignty
+Often used interchangeably with "tech sovereignty," this refers to the ability to control one's digital destiny, encompassing data, hardware, and software. It emphasizes operating securely and independently in the digital economy, ensuring digital assets align with local laws and strategic priorities.
+
+### Data Sovereignty
+A crucial subset of digital sovereignty, this principle dictates that digital information is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it is stored or processed. Key aspects include data residency (ensuring data stays within specific geographic boundaries), access governance, encryption, and privacy.
+
+### Technological Sovereignty
+This refers to the capacity of countries and regional blocs to independently develop, control, regulate, and fund critical digital technologies. These include cloud computing, quantum computing, artificial intelligence (AI), semiconductors, and digital communication infrastructure.
+
+### Cyber Sovereignty
+Similar to digital sovereignty, it highlights a nation-state's efforts to control its segment of the internet and cyberspace in a manner akin to how they control their physical borders, often driven by national security concerns.
+
+## Drivers and Importance
+The push for sovereignty in technology is fueled by several critical factors:
+*   **Geopolitical Tensions:** Increased global instability and competition necessitate greater control over digital assets to protect national interests.
+*   **Data Privacy and Regulations:** Stringent data protection laws (e.g., GDPR) mandate compliance with national data protection standards.
+*   **Reliance on Cloud Infrastructure:** Dependence on a few global tech giants raises concerns about data control and potential extraterritorial legal interference (e.g., the US Cloud Act).
+*   **National Security:** Protecting critical information systems and digital assets from cyber threats, espionage, and unauthorized access is paramount.
+*   **Economic Competitiveness and Independence:** Countries aim to foster homegrown tech industries, reduce strategic dependencies, and control technologies vital for economic development (e.g., AI and semiconductors).
+
+## Key Technologies and Solutions
+The sovereignty tech landscape involves various technologies and strategic approaches:
+*   **Sovereign Cloud Models:** Cloud environments designed to meet specific sovereignty mandates across legal, operational, technical, and data dimensions, with enhanced controls over data location, encryption, and administrative access.
+*   **Artificial Intelligence (AI):** "Sovereign AI" focuses on developing national AI systems to align with national values, languages, and security needs, reducing reliance on foreign AI models.
+*   **Semiconductors:** Initiatives like the EU Chips Act aim to secure domestic semiconductor production to reduce strategic dependencies.
+*   **Data Governance Frameworks:** Establishing clear policies for data classification, storage location, and access controls for compliance and risk reduction.
+*   **Open Source Software and Open APIs:** Promoting open standards and open-source solutions to increase transparency, flexibility, and control over technology stacks, reducing vendor lock-in.
+*   **Local Infrastructure and Innovation:** Supporting domestic tech development, building regional data centers, and investing in national innovation for technological independence.
+
+## Challenges
+Achieving complete technological sovereignty is challenging due to:
+*   **Interconnected World:** Digital architecture relies on globally sourced components.
+*   **Dominance of Tech Giants:** A few global tech giants dominate the market.
+*   **High Development Costs:** Significant investment is required for domestic tech development.
+*   **Talent Gap:** The need for specialized talent in critical technology areas.
+
+## Conclusion
+Despite the challenges, many countries and regional blocs are actively pursuing digital and technological sovereignty through legislative measures (e.g., GDPR, Digital Services Act, AI Act) and investments in domestic tech sectors. The goal is not total isolation but strategic agency within an interdependent global system, balancing self-reliance with multilateral alliances.

+```
+[Cinematography] + [Subject] + [Action] + [Environment] + [Style & Mood] + [Audio]
+```
+
+### Camera Terms That Work
+- **Shot types:** `extreme close-up`, `medium shot`, `wide establishing shot`, `aerial drone shot`, `POV`, `over-the-shoulder`
+- **Movement:** `slow dolly in`, `tracking shot`, `orbital camera`, `handheld`, `crane up`, `steady push-in`
+- **Focus:** `shallow depth of field`, `rack focus`, `tack sharp foreground`, `bokeh background`
+- **Timing:** `slow motion 2x`, `timelapse`, `real-time`
+
+### Style Keywords for The Nexus
+The Nexus is a dark-space cyberpunk environment. Use these consistently:
+- `deep space backdrop`, `holographic light panels`, `neon blue accent lighting`, `volumetric fog`
+- `dark space aesthetic, stars in background`, `cinematic sci-fi atmosphere`
+- `Three.js inspired 3D environment`, `glowing particle effects`
+
+### Audio Prompting (Veo 3+)
+- Describe ambient sound: `"deep space ambient drone, subtle digital hum"`
+- Portal effects: `"portal activation resonance, high-pitched energy ring"`
+- Character dialogue: `"a calm AI voice says, 'Portal sequence initialized'"`
+

+
+## 4. Limitations to Plan Around
+
+| Limitation | Mitigation Strategy |
+|---|---|
+| Max 8 seconds per clip | Plan 8 × 8-second clips; chain via video extension / last-frame I2V |
+| Character consistency across clips | Use 2–3 reference images of Timmy avatar per scene |
+| Visible watermark (most tiers) | Use AI Ultra ($249.99/mo) for watermark-free via Flow; or use for internal/draft use |
+| SynthID invisible watermark | Cannot be removed; acceptable for promotional content |
+| Videos expire after 2 days | Download immediately after generation |
+| ~1–3 min generation per clip | Budget 20–30 minutes for full 8-clip sequence |
+| No guarantee of exact scene replication | Generate 2–4 variants per scene; select best |

+
+## 5. Nexus Promotional Video — Production Plan
+
+### Concept: "Welcome to the Nexus"
+
+**Logline:** *A sovereign mind wakes, explores its world, opens a portal, and disappears into the infinite.*
+
+**Duration:** ~60 seconds (8 clips)
+**Format:** 16:9, 1080p, Veo 3.1 with native audio
+**Tone:** Epic, mysterious, cinematic — cyberpunk space station meets ancient temple
+
+---
+
+### Scene-by-Scene Storyboard
+
+#### Scene 1 — Cold Open: Deep Space (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Awe. Vastness. Beginning.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Slow dolly push-in through a vast starfield, thousands of stars shimmering in deep space, a faint
+constellation pattern forming as camera moves forward, deep blue and black color palette, cinematic
+4K, no visible objects yet, just the void and light. Deep space ambient drone hum, silence then
+faint harmonic resonance building.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `text, logos, planets, spacecraft, blurry stars`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 2 — The Platform Materializes (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Discovery. Structure emerges from chaos.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Aerial orbital shot slowly descending onto a circular obsidian platform floating in deep space,
+glowing neon blue accent lights along its edge, holographic constellation lines connecting nearby
+star particles, dark atmospheric fog drifting below the platform, cinematic sci-fi, shallow depth
+of field on platform edge. Low resonant bass hum as platform energy activates, digital chime.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `daylight, outdoors, buildings, people`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 3 — Timmy Arrives (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Presence. Sovereignty. Identity.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Medium tracking shot following a lone luminous figure walking across a glowing dark platform
+suspended in space, the figure casts a soft electric blue glow, stars visible behind and below,
+holographic particle trails in their wake, cinematic sci-fi atmosphere, slow motion slightly,
+bokeh starfield background. Footsteps echo with a subtle digital reverb, ambient electric hum.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `multiple people, crowds, daylight, natural environment`
+
+> **Note:** Provide 2–3 reference images of the Timmy avatar design for character consistency across scenes.
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 4 — Portal Ring Activates (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Power. Gateway. Choice.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Extreme close-up dolly-in on a vertical glowing portal ring, hexagonal energy patterns forming
+across its surface in electric orange and blue, particle effects orbiting the ring, deep space
+visible through the portal center showing another world, cinematic lens flare, volumetric light
+shafts, 4K crisp. Portal activation resonance, high-pitched energy ring building to crescendo.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `dark portal, broken portal, text, labels`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 5 — Morrowind Portal View (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Adventure. Other worlds. Endless possibility.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+POV slow push-in through a glowing portal ring, the other side reveals dramatic ash storm
+landscape of a volcanic alien world, red-orange sky, ancient stone ruins barely visible through
+the atmospheric haze, cinematic sci-fi portal transition effect, particles swirling around
+portal edge, 4K. Wind rushing through portal, distant thunder, alien ambient drone.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `modern buildings, cars, people clearly visible, blue sky`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 6 — Workshop Portal View (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Creation. Workshop. The builder's domain.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+POV slow push-in through a glowing teal portal ring, the other side reveals a dark futuristic
+workshop interior, holographic screens floating with code and blueprints, tools hanging on
+illuminated walls, warm amber light mixing with cold blue, cinematic depth, particle effects
+at portal threshold. Digital ambient sounds, soft keyboard clicks, holographic interface tones.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `outdoor space, daylight, natural materials`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 7 — The Nexus at Full Power (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Climax. Sovereignty. All systems live.
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Wide establishing aerial shot of the entire Nexus platform from above, three glowing portal rings
+arranged in a triangle around the central platform, all portals active and pulsing in different
+colors — orange, teal, gold — against the deep space backdrop, constellation lines connecting
+stars above, volumetric fog drifting, camera slowly orbits the full scene, 4K cinematic.
+All three portal frequencies resonating together in harmonic chord, deep bass pulse.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `daytime, natural light, visible text or UI`
+
+---
+
+#### Scene 8 — Timmy Steps Through (8 seconds)
+**Emotion:** Resolution. Departure. "Come find me."
+
+**Veo Prompt:**
+```
+Slow motion tracking shot from behind, luminous figure walking toward the central glowing portal
+ring, the figure silhouetted against the brilliant light of the active portal, stars and space
+visible around them, as they reach the portal threshold they begin to dissolve into light
+particles that flow into the portal, cinematic sci-fi, beautiful and ethereal. Silence, then
+a single resonant tone as the figure disappears, ambient space drone fades to quiet.
+```
+**Negative prompt:** `stumbling, running, crowds, daylight`
+
+---
+
+### Production Assembly
+
+After generating 8 clips:
+
+1. **Review variants** — generate 2–3 variants per scene; select the best
+2. **Chain continuity** — use Scene N's last frame as Scene N+1's I2V starting image for visual continuity
+3. **Edit** — assemble in any video editor (DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, CapCut)
+4. **Add music** — layer a dark ambient/cinematic track (Suno AI, ElevenLabs Music, or licensed track)
+5. **Title cards** — add minimal text overlays: "The Nexus" at Scene 7, URL at Scene 8
+6. **Export** — 1080p H.264 for web, 4K for archival
+
+---
+
+## 6. Cost Estimate
+
+| Scenario | Clips | Seconds | Rate | Cost |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Draft pass (Veo 3.1 Fast, no audio) | 8 clips × 2 variants | 128 sec | $0.15/sec | ~$19 |
+| Final pass (Veo 3.1 Standard + audio) | 8 clips × 1 final | 64 sec | $0.75/sec | ~$48 |
+| Full production (draft + final) | — | ~192 sec | blended | ~$67 |
+
+> At current API pricing, a polished 60-second promo costs less than a single hour of freelance videography.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Comparison to Alternatives
+
+| Tool | Resolution | Audio | API | Best For | Est. Cost (60s) |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| **Veo 3.1** | 4K | Native | Yes | Photorealism, audio, Google ecosystem | ~$48 |
+| OpenAI Sora | 1080p | No | Yes (limited) | Narrative storytelling | ~$120+ |
+| Runway Gen-4 | 720p (upscale 4K) | Separate | Yes | Creative stylized output | ~$40 sub/mo |
+| Kling 1.6 | 4K premium | No | Yes | Long-form, fast I2V | ~$10–92/mo |
+| Pika 2.1 | 1080p | No | Yes | Quick turnaround | ~$35/mo |
+
+**Recommendation:** Veo 3.1 is the strongest choice for The Nexus promo due to:
+- Native audio eliminates the need for a separate sound design pass
+- Photorealistic space/sci-fi environments match the Nexus aesthetic exactly
+- Image-to-Video for continuity across portal transition scenes
+- Google cloud integration for pipeline automation
+
+---
+
+## 8. Automation Pipeline (Future)
+
+A `generate_nexus_promo.py` script could automate the full production:
+
+```python
+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""
+Nexus Promotional Video Generator
+Generates all 8 scenes using Google Veo 3.1 via the Gemini API.

+```
+
+Full script available at: `scripts/generate_nexus_promo.py` (to be created when production begins)
+
+---
+
+## 9. Recommended Next Steps
+
+1. **Set up API access** — Create a Google AI Studio account, enable Veo 3.1 access (requires paid tier)
+2. **Generate test clips** — Run Scenes 1 and 4 as low-cost validation ($3–4 total using Fast model)
+3. **Refine prompts** — Iterate on 2–3 variants of the hardest scenes (Timmy avatar, portal transitions)
+4. **Full production run** — Generate all 8 final clips (~$48 total)
+5. **Edit and publish** — Assemble, add music, publish to Nostr and the Nexus landing page

+/**
+ * ws-client.js — Hermes Gateway WebSocket Client
+ *
+ * Manages the persistent WebSocket connection between the Nexus (browser) and
+ * the Hermes agent gateway. Hermes is the sovereign orchestration layer that
+ * routes AI provider responses, Gitea PR events, visitor presence, and chat
+ * messages into the 3D world.
+ *
+ * ## Provider Fallback Chain
+ *
+ * The Hermes gateway itself manages provider selection (Claude → Gemini →
+ * Perplexity → fallback). From the Nexus client's perspective, all providers
+ * arrive through the single WebSocket endpoint below. The client's
+ * responsibility is to stay connected so no events are dropped.
+ *
+ * Connection lifecycle:
+ *
+ *   1. connect()          — opens WebSocket to HERMES_WS_URL
+ *   2. onopen             — flushes any queued messages; fires 'ws-connected'
+ *   3. onmessage          — JSON-parses frames; dispatches typed CustomEvents
+ *   4. onclose / onerror  — fires 'ws-disconnected'; triggers _scheduleReconnect()
+ *   5. _scheduleReconnect — exponential backoff (1s → 2s → 4s … ≤ 30s) up to
+ *                           10 attempts, then fires 'ws-failed' and gives up
+ *
+ * Message queue: messages sent while disconnected are buffered in
+ * `this.messageQueue` and flushed on the next successful connection.
+ *
+ * ## Dispatched CustomEvents
+ *
+ * | type              | CustomEvent name   | Payload (event.detail)             |
+ * |-------------------|--------------------|------------------------------------|
+ * | chat / chat-message | chat-message     | { type, text, sender?, … }        |
+ * | status-update     | status-update      | { type, status, agent?, … }        |
+ * | pr-notification   | pr-notification    | { type, action, pr, … }            |
+ * | player-joined     | player-joined      | { type, id, name?, … }             |
+ * | player-left       | player-left        | { type, id, … }                    |
+ * | (connection)      | ws-connected       | { url }                            |
+ * | (connection)      | ws-disconnected    | { code }                           |
+ * | (terminal)        | ws-failed          | —                                  |
