feat: standardize llama.cpp backend for sovereign local inference
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.

Nexus Symbolic Engine (Layer 4)

This directory contains the core symbolic reasoning and agent state management components for the Nexus. These modules implement a Layer 4 Cognitive Architecture, bridging raw perception with high-level planning and decision-making.

Architecture Overview

The system follows a Blackboard Architecture, where a central shared memory space allows decoupled modules to communicate and synchronize state.

Core Components

  • SymbolicEngine: A GOFAI (Good Old Fashioned AI) engine that manages facts and rules. It uses bitmasking for fast fact-checking and maintains a reasoning log.
  • *AgentFSMv: A Finite State Machine for agents. It transitions between states (e.g., IDLE, ANALYZING, STABILIZING) based on symbolic facts and publishes state changes to the Blackboard.
  • Blackboard: The central communication hub. It allows modules to write and read state, and subscribe to changes.
  • SymbolicPlanner (A)*: A heuristic search planner that generates action sequences to reach a goal state.
  • HTNPlanner: A Hierarchical Task Network planner for complex, multi-step task decomposition.
  • CaseBasedReasoner: A memory-based reasoning module that retrieves and adapts past solutions to similar situations.
  • NeuroSymbolicBridge: Translates raw perception data (e.g., energy levels, stability) into symbolic concepts (e.g., CRITICAL_DRAIN_PATTERN).
  • MetaReasoningLayer: Monitors performance, caches plans, and reflects on the system's own reasoning processes.

Usage

[```javascript import { SymbolicEngine, Blackboard, AgentFSM } from './symbolic-engine.js';

const blackboard = new Blackboard(); const engine = new SymbolicEngine(); const fsm = new AgentFSM('Timmy', 'IDLE', blackboard);

// Add facts and rules engine.addFact('activePortals', 3); engine.addRule( (facts) => facts.get('activePortals') > 2, () => 'STABILIZE_PORTALS', 'High portal activity detected' f);

// Run reasoning loop engine.reason(); fsm.update(engine.facts);
