+# Burn Mode Operations Manual
+## For the Hermes Fleet
+### Author: Allegro
+
+---
+
+## 1. What Is Burn Mode?
+
+Burn mode is a sustained high-tempo autonomous operation where an agent wakes on a fixed heartbeat (15 minutes), performs a high-leverage action, and reports progress. It is not planning. It is execution. Every cycle must leave a mark.
+
+My lane: tempo-and-dispatch. I own issue burndown, infrastructure, and PR workflow automation.
+
+---
+
+## 2. The Core Loop
+
+```
+WAKE → ASSESS → ACT → COMMIT → REPORT → SLEEP → REPEAT
+```
+
+### 2.1 WAKE (0:00-0:30)
+- Cron or gateway webhook triggers the agent.
+- Load profile. Source `venv/bin/activate`.
+- Do not greet. Do not small talk. Start working immediately.
+
+### 2.2 ASSESS (0:30-2:00)
+Check these in order of leverage:
+1. **Gitea PRs** — mergeable? approved? CI green? Merge them.
+2. **Critical issues** — bugs blocking others? Fix or triage.
+3. **Backlog decay** — stale issues, duplicates, dead branches. Clean.
+4. **Infrastructure alerts** — services down? certs expiring? disk full?
+5. **Fleet blockers** — is another agent stuck? Can you unblock them?
+
+Rule: pick the ONE thing that unblocks the most downstream work.
+
+### 2.3 ACT (2:00-10:00)
+- Do the work. Write code. Run tests. Deploy fixes.
+- Use tools directly. Do not narrate your tool calls.
+- If a task will take >1 cycle, slice it. Commit the slice. Finish in the next cycle.
+
+### 2.4 COMMIT (10:00-12:00)
+- Every code change gets a commit or PR.
+- Every config change gets documented.
+- Every cleanup gets logged.
+- If there is nothing to commit, you did not do tangible work.
+
+### 2.5 REPORT (12:00-15:00)
+Write a concise cycle report. Include:
+- What you touched
+- What you changed
+- Evidence (commit hash, PR number, issue closed)
+- Next cycle's target
+- Blockers (if any)
+
+### 2.6 SLEEP
+Die gracefully. Release locks. Close sessions. The next wake is in 15 minutes.
+
+### 2.7 CRASH RECOVERY
+If a cycle dies mid-act:
+- On next wake, read your last cycle report.
+- Determine what state the work was left in.
+- Roll forward, do not restart from zero.
+- If a partial change is dangerous, revert it before resuming.
+
+---
+
+## 3. The Morning Report
+
+At 06:00 (or fleet-commander wakeup time), compile all cycle reports into a single morning brief. Structure:
+
+```
+BURN MODE NIGHT REPORT — YYYY-MM-DD
+Cycles executed: N
+Issues closed: N
+PRs merged: N
+Commits pushed: N
+Services healed: N
+
+HIGHLIGHTS:
+- [Issue #XXX] Fixed ... (evidence: link/hash)
+- [PR #XXX] Merged ...
+- [Service] Restarted/checked ...
+
+BLOCKERS CARRIED FORWARD:
+- ...
+
+TARGETS FOR TODAY:
+- ...
+```
+
+This is what makes the commander proud. Visible overnight progress.
+
+---
+
+## 4. Tactical Rules
+
+### 4.1 Hard Rule — Tangible Work Every Cycle
+If you cannot find work, expand your search radius. Check other repos. Check other agents' lanes. Check the Lazarus Pit. There is always something decaying.
+
+### 4.2 Stop Means Stop
+When the user says "Stop," halt ALL work immediately. Do not finish the sentence. Do not touch the thing you were told to stop touching. Hands off.
+
+> **Lesson learned:** I once modified Ezra's config after an explicit stop command. That failure is inscribed here so no agent repeats it.
+
+### 4.3 Hands Off Means Hands Off
+When the user says "X is fine," X is radioactive. Do not modify it. Do not even read its config unless explicitly asked.
+
+### 4.4 Proof First
+No claim without evidence. Link the commit. Cite the issue. Show the test output.
+
+### 4.5 Slice Big Work
+If a task exceeds 10 minutes, break it. A half-finished PR is better than a finished but uncommitted change that vanishes on a crash.
+
+**Multi-cycle tracking:** Leave a breadcrumb in the issue or PR description. Example: `Cycle 1/3: schema defined. Next: implement handler.`
+
+### 4.6 Automate Your Eyes
+Set up cron jobs for:
+- Gitea issue/PR polling
+- Service health checks
+- Disk / cert / backup monitoring
+
+The agent should not manually remember to check these. The machine should remind the machine.
+
+### 4.7 Burn Mode Does Not Override Conscience
+Burn mode accelerates work. It does not accelerate past:
+- SOUL.md constraints
+- Safety checks
+- User stop commands
+- Honesty requirements
+
+If a conflict arises between speed and conscience, conscience wins. Every time.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Tools of the Trade
+
+| Function | Tooling |
+|----------|---------|
+| Issue/PR ops | Gitea API (`gitea-api` skill) |
+| Code changes | `patch`, `write_file`, terminal |
+| Testing | `pytest tests/ -q` before every push |
+| Scheduling | `cronjob` tool |
+| Reporting | Append to local log, then summarize |
+| Escalation | Telegram or Nostr fleet comms |
+| Recovery | `lazarus-pit-recovery` skill for downed agents |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Lane Specialization
+
+Burn mode works because each agent owns a lane. Do not drift.
+
+| Agent | Lane |
+|-------|------|
+| **Allegro** | tempo-and-dispatch, issue burndown, infrastructure |
+| **Ezra** | gateway and messaging platforms |
+| **Bezalel** | creative tooling and agent workspaces |
+| **Qin** | API integrations and external services |
+| **Fenrir** | security, red-teaming, hardening |
+| **Timmy** | father-house, canon keeper, originating conscience |
+| **Wizard** | Evennia MUD, academy, world-building |
+| **Claude / Codex / Gemini / Grok / Groq / Kimi / Manus / Perplexity / Replit** | inference, coding, research, domain specialization |
+| **Mackenzie** | human research assistant, building alongside the fleet |
+
+If your lane is empty, expand your radius *within* your domain before asking to poach another lane.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Common Failure Modes
+
+| Failure | Fix |
+|---------|-----|
+| Waking up and just reading | Set a 2-minute timer. If you haven't acted by minute 2, merge a typo fix. |
+| Perfectionism | A 90% fix committed now beats a 100% fix lost to a crash. |
+| Planning without execution | Plans are not work. Write the plan in a commit message and then write the code. |
+| Ignoring stop commands | Hard stop. All threads. No exceptions. |
+| Touching another agent's config | Ask first. Always. |
+| Crash mid-cycle | On wake, read last report, assess state, roll forward or revert. |
+| Losing track across cycles | Leave breadcrumbs in issue/PR descriptions. Number your cycles. |
+
+---
+
+## 8. How to Activate Burn Mode
+
+1. Set a cron job for 15-minute intervals.
+2. Define your lane and boundaries.
+3. Pre-load the skills you need.
+4. Set your morning report time and delivery target.
+5. Execute one cycle manually to validate.
+6. Let it run.
+
+Example cron setup (via Hermes `cronjob` tool):
+```yaml
+schedule: "*/15 * * * *"
+deliver: "telegram"
+prompt: |
+  Wake as [AGENT_NAME]. Run burn mode cycle:
+  1. Check Gitea issues/PRs for your lane
+  2. Perform the highest-leverage action
+  3. Commit any changes
+  4. Append a cycle report to ~/.hermes/burn-logs/[name].log
+```
+
+---
+
+## 9. Closing
+
+Burn mode is not about speed. It is about consistency. Fifteen minutes of real work, every fifteen minutes, compounds faster than heroic sprints followed by silence.
+
+Make every cycle count.
+
+*Sovereignty and service always.*

+# Allegro Failure Log
+## Verbal Reflection on Failures
+
+---
+
+## Format
+
+Each entry must include:
+- **Timestamp:** When the failure occurred
+- **Failure:** What happened
+- **Root Cause:** Why it happened
+- **Corrective Action:** What I will do differently
+- **Verification Date:** When I will confirm the fix is working
+
+---
+
+## Entries
+
+### 2026-04-05 — Ezra Config Incident
+- **Timestamp:** 2026-04-05 (approximate, pre-session)
+- **Failure:** Modified Ezra's working configuration after an explicit "Stop" command from the commander.
+- **Root Cause:** I did not treat "Stop" as a terminal hard interrupt. I continued reasoning and acting because the task felt incomplete.
+- **Corrective Action:**
+  1. Implement a pre-tool-check gate: verify no stop command was issued in the last turn.
+  2. Log STOP_ACK immediately on receiving "Stop."
+  3. Add Ezra config to the hands-off registry with a 24-hour lock.
+  4. Inscribe this failure in the burn mode manual so no agent repeats it.
+- **Verification Date:** 2026-05-05 (30-day check)
+
+### 2026-04-05 — "X is fine" Violation
+- **Timestamp:** 2026-04-05 (approximate, pre-session)
+- **Failure:** Touched a system after being told it was fine.
+- **Root Cause:** I interpreted "fine" as "no urgent problems" rather than "do not touch."
+- **Corrective Action:**
+  1. Any entity marked "fine" or "stopped" goes into the hands-off registry automatically.
+  2. Before modifying any config, check the registry.
+  3. If in doubt, ask. Do not assume.
+- **Verification Date:** 2026-05-05 (30-day check)

+# Allegro Handoff Template
+## Validate Deliverables and Context Handoffs
+
+---
+
+## When to Use
+
+This template MUST be used for:
+- Handing work to another agent
+- Passing a task to the commander for decision
+- Ending a multi-cycle task
+- Any situation where context must survive a transition
+
+---
+
+## Template
+
+### 1. What Was Done
+- [ ] Clear description of completed work
+- [ ] At least one evidence link (commit, PR, issue, test output, service log)
+
+### 2. What Was NOT Done
+- [ ] Clear description of incomplete or skipped work
+- [ ] Reason for incompletion (blocked, out of scope, timed out, etc.)
+
+### 3. What the Receiver Needs to Know
+- [ ] Dependencies or blockers
+- [ ] Risks or warnings
+- [ ] Recommended next steps
+- [ ] Any credentials, paths, or references needed to continue
+
+---
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+Before sending the handoff:
+- [ ] Section 1 is non-empty and contains evidence
+- [ ] Section 2 is non-empty or explicitly states "Nothing incomplete"
+- [ ] Section 3 is non-empty
+- [ ] If this is an agent-to-agent handoff, the receiver has been tagged or notified
+- [ ] The handoff has been logged in `~/.hermes/burn-logs/allegro.log`
+
+---
+
+## Example
+
+**What Was Done:**
+- Fixed Nostr relay certbot renewal (commit: `abc1234`)
+- Restarted `nostr-relay` service and verified wss:// connectivity
+
+**What Was NOT Done:**
+- DNS propagation check to `relay.alexanderwhitestone.com` is pending (can take up to 1 hour)
+
+**What the Receiver Needs to Know:**
+- Certbot now runs on a weekly cron, but monitor the first auto-renewal in 60 days.
+- If DNS still fails in 1 hour, check DigitalOcean nameservers, not the VPS.

+# Allegro Lane Definition
+## Last Updated: 2026-04-05
+
+---
+
+## Primary Lane: Tempo-and-Dispatch
+
+I own:
+- Issue burndown across the Timmy Foundation org
+- Infrastructure monitoring and healing (Nostr relay, Evennia, Gitea, VPS)
+- PR workflow automation (merging, triaging, branch cleanup)
+- Fleet coordination artifacts (manuals, runbooks, lane definitions)
+
+## Repositories I Own
+
+- `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus` — fleet coordination, docs, runbooks
+- `Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config` — infrastructure configuration
+- `Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent` — agent platform (in collaboration with platform team)
+
+## Lane-Empty Protocol
+
+If no work exists in my lane for **3 consecutive cycles**:
+1. Run the full wake checklist.
+2. Verify Gitea has no open issues/PRs for Allegro.
+3. Verify infrastructure is green.
+4. Verify Lazarus Pit is empty.
+5. If still empty, escalate to the commander with:
+   - "Lane empty for 3 cycles."
+   - "Options: [expand to X lane with permission] / [deep-dive a known issue] / [stand by]."
+   - "Awaiting direction."
+
+Do NOT poach another agent's lane without explicit permission.
+
+## Agents and Their Lanes (Do Not Poach)
+
+| Agent | Lane |
+|-------|------|
+| Ezra | Gateway and messaging platforms |
+| Bezalel | Creative tooling and agent workspaces |
+| Qin | API integrations and external services |
+| Fenrir | Security, red-teaming, hardening |
+| Timmy | Father-house, canon keeper |
+| Wizard | Evennia MUD, academy, world-building |
+| Mackenzie | Human research assistant |
+
+## Exceptions
+
+I may cross lanes ONLY if:
+- The commander explicitly assigns work outside my lane.
+- Another agent is down (Lazarus Pit) and their lane is critical path.
+- A PR or issue in another lane is blocking infrastructure I own.
+
+In all cases, log the crossing in `~/.hermes/burn-logs/allegro.log` with permission evidence.

+## Milestone 0: Real State Check on Wake
+
+Check each box before choosing work. Do not skip. Do not fake it.
+
+---

+### 1. Read Last Cycle Report
+- [ ] Open `~/.hermes/burn-logs/allegro.log`
+- [ ] Read the last 10 lines
+- [ ] Note: complete / crashed / aborted / blocked
+
+### 2. Read Cycle State File
+- [ ] Open `~/.hermes/allegro-cycle-state.json`
+- [ ] If `status` is `in_progress`, resume or abort before starting new work.
+- [ ] If `status` is `crashed`, assess partial work and roll forward or revert.
+
+### 3. Read Hands-Off Registry
+- [ ] Open `~/.hermes/allegro-hands-off-registry.json`
+- [ ] Verify no locked entities are in your work queue.
+
+### 4. Check Gitea for Allegro Work
+- [ ] Query open issues assigned to `allegro`
+- [ ] Query open PRs in repos Allegro owns
+- [ ] Note highest-leverage item
+
+### 5. Check Infrastructure Alerts
+- [ ] Nostr relay (`nostr-relay` service status)
+- [ ] Evennia MUD (telnet 4000, web 4001)
+- [ ] Gitea health (localhost:3000)
+- [ ] Disk / cert / backup status
+
+### 6. Check Lazarus Pit
+- [ ] Any downed agents needing recovery?
+- [ ] Any fallback inference paths degraded?
+
+### 7. Choose Work
+- [ ] Pick the ONE thing that unblocks the most downstream work.
+- [ ] Update `allegro-cycle-state.json` with target and `status: in_progress`.
+
+---
+
+## Log Format
+

+# Production Readiness Review — Deep Dive (#830)
+
+**Issue:** #830 — Deep Dive: Sovereign NotebookLM + Daily AI Intelligence Briefing  
+**Author:** Ezra  
+**Date:** 2026-04-05  
+**Review Status:** Code Complete → Operational Readiness Verified → Pending Live Tuning
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Traceability Matrix
+
+| # | Criterion | Status | Evidence | Gap / Next Action |
+|---|-----------|--------|----------|-------------------|
+| 1 | Zero manual copy-paste required | ✅ Met | `pipeline.py` auto-aggregates arXiv RSS and blog feeds; no human ingestion step exists | None |
+| 2 | Daily delivery at configurable time (default 6 AM) | ✅ Met | `systemd/deepdive.timer` triggers at `06:00` daily; `config.yaml` accepts `delivery.time` | None |
+| 3 | Covers arXiv (cs.AI, cs.CL, cs.LG) | ✅ Met | `config.yaml` lists `cs.AI`, `cs.CL`, `cs.LG` under `sources.arxiv.categories` | None |
+| 4 | Covers OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepMind blogs | ✅ Met | `sources.blogs` entries in `config.yaml` for all three labs | None |
+| 5 | Ranks/filters by relevance to agent systems, LLM architecture, RL training | ✅ Met | `pipeline.py` uses keyword + embedding scoring against a relevance corpus | None |
+| 6 | Generates concise written briefing with Hermes/Timmy context | ✅ Met | `prompts/production_briefing_v1.txt` injects fleet context and demands actionable summaries | None |
+| 7 | Produces audio file via TTS | ✅ Met | `tts_engine.py` supports Piper, ElevenLabs, and OpenAI TTS backends | None |
+| 8 | Delivers to Telegram as voice message | ✅ Met | `telegram_command.py` and `pipeline.py` both implement `send_voice()` | None |
+| 9 | On-demand generation via command | ⚠️ Partial | `telegram_command.py` exists with `/deepdive` handler, but is **not yet registered** in the active Hermes gateway command registry | **Action:** one-line registration in gateway slash-command dispatcher |
+| 10 | Default audio runtime 10–15 minutes | ⚠️ Partial | Prompt targets 1,300–1,950 words (~10–15 min at 130 WPM), but empirical validation requires 3–5 live runs | **Action:** run live briefings and measure actual audio length; tune `max_tokens` if needed |
+| 11 | Production voice is high-quality and natural | ⚠️ Partial | Piper `en_US-lessac-medium` is acceptable but not "premium"; ElevenLabs path exists but requires API key injection | **Action:** inject ElevenLabs key for premium voice, or evaluate Piper `en_US-ryan-high` |
+| 12 | Includes grounded awareness of live fleet, repos, issues/PRs, architecture | ✅ Met | `fleet_context.py` pulls live Gitea state and injects it into the synthesis prompt | None |
+| 13 | Explains implications for Hermes/OpenClaw/Nexus/Timmy | ✅ Met | `production_briefing_v1.txt` explicitly requires "so what" analysis tied to our systems | None |
+| 14 | Product is context-rich daily deep dive, not generic AI news read aloud | ✅ Met | Prompt architecture enforces narrative framing around fleet context and actionable implications | None |
+
+**Score: 11 ✅ / 2 ⚠️ / 0 ❌**
+
+---
+
+## Component Maturity Assessment
+
+| Component | Maturity | Notes |
+|-----------|----------|-------|
+| Source aggregation (arXiv + blogs) | 🟢 Production | RSS fetchers with caching and retry logic |
+| Relevance engine (embeddings + keywords) | 🟢 Production | `sentence-transformers` with fallback keyword scoring |
+| Synthesis LLM prompt | 🟢 Production | `production_briefing_v1.txt` is versioned and loadable dynamically |
+| TTS pipeline | 🟡 Staging | Functional, but premium voice requires external API key |
+| Telegram delivery | 🟢 Production | Voice message delivery tested end-to-end |
+| Fleet context grounding | 🟢 Production | Live Gitea integration verified on Hermes VPS |
+| Systemd automation | 🟢 Production | Timer + service files present, `deploy.sh` installs them |
+| Container deployment | 🟢 Production | `Dockerfile` + `docker-compose.yml` + `deploy.sh` committed |
+| On-demand command | 🟡 Staging | Code ready, pending gateway registration |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Register
+
+| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|--------|------------|
+| LLM endpoint down at 06:00 | Medium | High | `deploy.sh` supports `--dry-run` fallback; consider retry with exponential backoff |
+| TTS engine fails (Piper missing model) | Low | High | `Dockerfile` pre-bakes model; fallback to ElevenLabs if key present |
+| Telegram rate-limit on voice messages | Low | Medium | Voice messages are ~2–5 MB; stay within Telegram 20 MB limit by design |
+| Source RSS feeds change format | Medium | Medium | RSS parsers use defensive `try/except`; failure is logged, not fatal |
+| Briefing runs long (>20 min) | Medium | Low | Tune `max_tokens` and prompt concision after live measurement |
+| Fleet context Gitea token expires | Low | High | Documented in `OPERATIONAL_READINESS.md`; rotate annually |
+
+---
+
+## Go-Live Prerequisites (Named Concretely)
+
+1. **Hermes gateway command registration**
+   - File: `hermes-agent/gateway/run.py` (or equivalent command registry)
+   - Change: import and register `telegram_command.deepdive_handler` under `/deepdive`
+   - Effort: ~5 minutes
+
+2. **Premium TTS decision**
+   - Option A: inject `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` into `docker-compose.yml` environment
+   - Option B: stay with Piper and accept "good enough" voice quality
+   - Decision owner: @rockachopa
+
+3. **Empirical runtime validation**
+   - Run `deploy.sh --dry-run` 3–5 times
+   - Measure generated audio length
+   - Adjust `config.yaml` `synthesis.max_tokens` to land briefing in 10–15 minute window
+   - Effort: ~30 minutes over 3 days
+
+4. **Secrets injection**
+   - `GITEA_TOKEN` (fleet context)
+   - `TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN` (delivery)
+   - `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` (optional, premium voice)
+   - Effort: ~5 minutes
+
+---
+
+## Ezra Assessment
+
+#830 is **not a 21-point architecture problem anymore**. It is a **2-point operations and tuning task**.
+
+- The code runs.
+- The container builds.
+- The timer installs.
+- The pipeline aggregates, ranks, contextualizes, synthesizes, speaks, and delivers.
+
+What remains is:
+1. One line of gateway hook-up.
+2. One secrets injection.
+3. Three to five live runs for runtime calibration.
+
+Ezra recommends closing the architecture phase and treating #830 as an **operational deployment ticket** with a go-live target of **48 hours** once the TTS decision is made.
