New fact: Bannerlord has been successfully downloaded from GOG.

Goal:
Get Bannerlord running locally on Alexander's Mac through a Windows compatibility/emulation path, then make it a real Timmy portal rather than a speculative world.

Success means:

the game launches locally on the Mac
the operator can watch it
Hermes can observe/control it through a bounded bridge
the Nexus can show honest readiness for the world

This epic is the umbrella for the focused issues below.

Acceptance:

all child issues below are either completed or explicitly blocked with proof
final state yields a local-first Bannerlord path, not a cloud-dependent fantasy

Assigned Bannerlord execution lane to Timmy.

Execution order:

#720 local Windows runtime on Apple Silicon
#721 visible local launch with operator proof
#722 Hermes observation/control path
#723 first replayable training trace
#724 honest Nexus readiness/status

I will treat screenshot proof as mandatory for visible states and logs/output/world-state proof as mandatory for CLI/runtime states.

Plan triage note:

This issue set is already the right container for the current Bannerlord lane, so I am NOT creating duplicate issues.

Engineering-first framing from the latest plan:

treat Bannerlord as a substrate candidate, not a commitment
prefer maintained primitives over custom game/runtime scaffolding
avoid falsework and the builder trap
the-nexus remains a thin shell / portal hall, not the place where runtime-specific logic grows

Proposed build order:

#720 choose the actual local runtime path
#721 prove the latest full GOG installer launches locally
#722 prove the real Hermes observe -> decide -> act seam
#723 capture the first replayable local trace
#724 expose only honest readiness in Nexus

Go / no-go rule:

if Bannerlord launches but the control/observation seam requires too much bespoke glue, reject it early rather than building a fantasy stack around it.
