Replace ~75 individual THREE.Mesh glass tiles and N individual ConeGeometry spire Meshes with InstancedMesh, reducing draw calls from O(n) to O(1) per group. Glass tiles: one InstancedMesh with StaticDrawUsage replaces ~75 glassTileMat.clone() meshes. Edge line glow (LineSegments) retained individually for per-distance opacity animation. Island spires: two-pass approach — collect spire params first, then build one InstancedMesh with a unit cone (r=1, h=1) scaled per instance via the instance matrix. Mathematically equivalent to the original per-spire ConeGeometry since T*R*S on a unit cone produces the same world-space vertices as T*R applied to a pre-scaled cone. Fixes #425
◈ The Nexus — Timmy's Sovereign Home
A Three.js environment serving as Timmy's sovereign space — like Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, existing outside time. The Nexus is the central hub from which all worlds are accessed through portals.
Features
- Procedural Nebula Skybox — animated stars, twinkling, layered nebula clouds
- Batcave Terminal — 5 holographic display panels arranged in an arc showing:
- Nexus Command (system status, harness state, agent loops)
- Dev Queue (live Gitea issue references)
- Metrics (uptime, commits, CPU/MEM)
- Thought Stream (Timmy's current thoughts)
- Agent Status (all agent states)
- Morrowind Portal — glowing torus with animated swirl shader, ready for world connection
- Admin Chat (Timmy Terminal) — real-time message interface, ready for Hermes WebSocket
- Nexus Core — floating crystalline icosahedron on pedestal
- Ambient Environment — crystal formations, floating runestones, energy particles, atmospheric fog
- WASD + Mouse Navigation — first-person exploration of the space
- Post-Processing — Unreal Bloom + SMAA antialiasing

Roadmap
- Wire chat to Hermes WebSocket (
/api/world/ws) - Pull live data into terminal panels from Timmy's actual state
- Portal walk-through interaction to load destination worlds
- Timmy's avatar (lizard wizard body he designs himself)
- Connect to AlexanderWhitestone.com as public entry point
- Integrate existing Replit timmy-tower world code
