Closes #1123. Implements all three phases of the local LLM standardization: PHASE 1 — Deployment: - docs/local-llm.md: full deployment guide (build, model download, health check, model path convention /opt/models/llama/, hardware recommendations) - systemd/llama-server.service: hardened unit with resource limits and auto-restart - Health check: /health endpoint + model loaded verification PHASE 2 — Hermes Integration: - bin/llama_client.py: OpenAI-compatible Python client wrapping llama.cpp HTTP API (chat completions, streaming, raw completions, health check, model listing, benchmarking, full CLI interface) - nexus/llama_provider.py: Hermes inference router provider adapter - Activates when external APIs fail, LOCAL_ONLY=true, or explicit local request - Response format normalized to OpenAI-compatible chat completions - Token usage estimated and logged - Health caching with TTL for efficiency PHASE 3 — Optimization & Ops: - Benchmarking: client.benchmark() + CLI benchmark command - Quantization guide: Q4_K_M recommended for fleet, Q6_K for high-RAM, Q3_K for low - Model recommendations for VPS Beta (3B), VPS Alpha (7B), Mac (7B Q6_K) - Night watch integration: health probe script with auto-restart Fleet standard model: Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf Default endpoint: http://localhost:11435 22 tests pass.

Branch Protection & Review Policy
All repositories enforce these rules on the main branch:
| Rule | Status | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Require PR for merge | ✅ Enabled | Prevent direct commits |
| Required approvals | 1+ | Minimum review threshold |
| Dismiss stale approvals | ✅ Enabled | Re-review after new commits |
| Require CI to pass | ⚠️ Conditional | Only where CI exists |
| Block force push | ✅ Enabled | Protect commit history |
| Block branch deletion | ✅ Enabled | Prevent accidental deletion |
Default Reviewers:
- @perplexity (all repositories)
- @Timmy (hermes-agent only)
CI Enforcement:
- hermes-agent: Full CI enforcement
- the-nexus: CI pending runner restoration (#915)
- timmy-home: No CI enforcement
- timmy-config: Limited CI
Implementation Status:
- hermes-agent protection enabled
- the-nexus protection enabled
- timmy-home protection enabled
- timmy-config protection enabled
This policy replaces all previous ad-hoc workflows. Any exceptions require written approval from @Timmy and @perplexity.
It is meant to become two things at once:
- a local-first training ground for Timmy
- a wizardly visualization surface for the living system
Current Truth
As of current main, this repo does not ship a browser 3D world.
In plain language: current main does not ship a browser 3D world.
A clean checkout of Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus on main currently contains:
- Python heartbeat / cognition files under
nexus/ server.py- protocol, report, and deployment docs
- JSON configuration files like
portals.jsonandvision.json
It does not currently contain an active root frontend such as:
index.htmlapp.jsstyle.csspackage.json
Serving the repo root today shows a directory listing, not a rendered world.
One Canonical 3D Repo
Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus is the only canonical 3D repo.
In plain language: Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus is the only canonical 3D repo.
The old local browser app at:
/Users/apayne/the-matrix
is legacy source material, not a second repo to keep evolving in parallel. Useful work from it must be audited and migrated here.
See:
LEGACY_MATRIX_AUDIT.md
Why this matters
We do not want to lose real quality work. We also do not want to keep two drifting 3D repos alive by accident.
The rule is:
- rescue good work from legacy Matrix
- rebuild inside
the-nexus - keep telemetry and durable truth flowing through the Hermes harness
- Hermes is the sole harness — no external gateway dependencies
Verified historical browser-world snapshot
The commit the user pointed at:
0518a1c3ae3c1d0afeb24dea9772102f5a3d9a66
still contains the old root browser files (index.html, app.js, style.css, package.json, tests/), so it is a useful in-repo reference point for what existed before the later deletions.
Active migration backlog

What gets preserved from legacy Matrix
High-value candidates include:
- visitor movement / embodiment
- chat, bark, and presence systems
- transcript logging
- ambient / visual atmosphere systems
- economy / satflow visualizations
- smoke and browser validation discipline
Those pieces should be carried forward only if they serve the mission and are re-tethered to real local system state.
