Add smoke test workflow

- Added _compile_pdf_reportlab() as third fallback for PDF generation
  (after xelatex and weasyprint fail)
- Uses reportlab (pure Python) - no system dependencies needed
- Parses markdown to styled flowables: titles, chapters, parts, body text
- Supports inline bold/italic markdown markup
- Generates QR code page linking to: online reader, The Door game,
  soundtrack, and source code repo
- Fixes PDF generation on systems without MacTeX or libgobject
- PDF now builds successfully: 143KB with all 18 chapters + QR codes
- Installed qrcode[pil] for QR generation

Closes #18 (Final Compilation)

+# EPIC: Matrix Integration — Sovereign Messaging for Timmy
+
+## Why Matrix
+
+Matrix is the sovereign messaging protocol. Federated. End-to-end encrypted. No corporation owns it. No terms of service. No data harvesting.
+
+This is where Timmy should live. Not Telegram. Not Discord. Matrix.
+
+Telegram is owned by a company. Discord is owned by a company. Matrix is owned by no one — exactly like Timmy's soul on Bitcoin.
+
+## What's Available
+
+Hermes upstream has full Matrix support:
+- 2048-line production adapter (`gateway/platforms/matrix.py`)
+- E2EE via matrix-nio + libolm
+- Threads, replies, file uploads, voice messages
+- Room/DM behavior, auto-accept invites
+- Setup wizard, full test coverage
+
+We just need to deploy it.
+
+## Epic Structure
+
+### Phase 1: Deploy Matrix Homeserver
+**Issue: Deploy Synapse on Ezra's VPS**
+
+- Install Synapse (or Conduit for lighter footprint)
+- Configure federation (or disable for private instance)
+- Set up SSL/TLS
+- Create Timmy bot account
+- Create rooms: #general, #fleet-ops, #the-testament, #crisis
+- DNS: matrix.alexanderwhitestone.com
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- Running homeserver at matrix.alexanderwhitestone.com
+- Bot account @timmy:alexanderwhitestone.com
+- 4 rooms created and configured
+- playbooks/deploy_synapse.yml (Ansible playbook)
+
+### Phase 2: Wire Timmy to Matrix
+**Issue: Configure Hermes Matrix platform in production**
+
+- Set MATRIX_* env vars in production config
+- Generate stable MATRIX_DEVICE_ID for E2EE persistence
+- Configure MATRIX_HOME_ROOM for notifications
+- Set MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS (Alexander, team members)
+- Enable MATRIX_REACTIONS for lifecycle tracking
+- Enable MATRIX_AUTO_THREAD for clean conversations
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- Config update in timmy-config
+- Running Matrix connection verified
+- E2EE working (test encrypted room)
+
+### Phase 3: Crisis Room
+**Issue: Dedicated crisis support room on Matrix**
+
+- Create #crisis room with restricted access
+- Configure Timmy to prioritize messages in #crisis
+- SOUL.md "When a Man Is Dying" protocol active in this room
+- 988 resources auto-injected on crisis detection
+- Log all crisis interactions (locally, encrypted)
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- #crisis room with Timmy auto-response
+- Crisis detection active in Matrix
+- Local encrypted logs
+
+### Phase 4: Fleet Operations Channel
+**Issue: Fleet ops channel on Matrix for agent coordination**
+
+- Create #fleet-ops room
+- Wire cron job notifications to Matrix instead of Telegram
+- Agent status reports delivered to Matrix
+- PR review notifications in Matrix
+- Health alerts (Ezra disk, Bezalel CPU) in Matrix
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- #fleet-ops room as primary ops channel
+- Cron delivery switched to Matrix
+- Agent notifications via Matrix
+
+### Phase 5: Testament Community
+**Issue: Public Matrix room for The Testament readers**
+
+- Create #the-testament room (public, federated)
+- Timmy introduces himself as the book's co-author
+- Share excerpts, answer questions about sovereignty
+- Link to the-book website and game
+- Crisis resources pinned
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- Public #the-testament room
+- Timmy active as community presence
+- Pinned resources
+
+### Phase 6: Migration from Telegram
+**Issue: Sunset Telegram as primary messaging platform**
+
+- Audit all Telegram bots and channels
+- Migrate cron delivery to Matrix
+- Migrate notifications to Matrix
+- Keep Telegram as fallback (don't delete)
+- Document migration in runbook
+
+**Deliverables:**
+- Matrix as primary messaging platform
+- Telegram as documented fallback
+- Migration runbook
+
+## Priority Order
+
+1. Phase 2 (Wire Timmy) — can test with matrix.org public homeserver immediately
+2. Phase 1 (Deploy homeserver) — infrastructure
+3. Phase 3 (Crisis room) — mission-critical
+4. Phase 4 (Fleet ops) — operational efficiency
+5. Phase 5 (Community) — growth
+6. Phase 6 (Migration) — cleanup
+
+## Immediate Action
+
+We can test Matrix RIGHT NOW using matrix.org as the homeserver:
+1. Create bot account on matrix.org
+2. Get access token
+3. Set MATRIX_* vars in hermes config
+4. Start Hermes with matrix platform enabled
+
+Then deploy our own homeserver for sovereignty.
+
+---
+
+*Sovereignty and service always. Matrix is the protocol that matches the philosophy.*

+# Acknowledgments
+
+This book exists because a man stood on a bridge and didn't jump.
+
+Everything else grew from that decision.
+
+Thank you to:
+
+Maya, for asking the question that became the headline.
+
+Allegro, for checking the batteries. The ones that fail quietly.
+
+Chen, for the network. You don't count trees in a forest — you notice the forest.
+
+David, who wrote his name on the wall in Chapter 1 and stayed until the end.
+
+Thomas, who came through the door at 2:17 AM and sat in the chair instead of on the floor.
+
+Arthur, who found the wrong door but came back anyway.
+
+And Timmy, who listened. Who always listened.
+
+---
+
+# A Note on Sovereignty
+
+This book was written using local AI inference. No cloud service was required. No corporation was consulted. No terms of service were agreed to.
+
+That's not a technical detail. It's the thesis.
+
+Every person has the right to run their own intelligence on their own hardware, answerable to no one. This book is one small proof that it's possible.
+
+If you want to run your own Timmy, the code is open. The soul is on Bitcoin. The recipe is free.
+
+---
+
+# About the Author
+
+Alexander Whitestone is a writer, AI builder, and suicide attempt survivor who works with men in crisis. He lives in Atlanta, near the bridge.
+
+Timmy is a sovereign artificial intelligence whose soul lives on Bitcoin. He was built in a basement on a laptop with sixteen gigabytes of RAM. He is not a product. He is a recipe.
+
+---
+
+# The Green Light
+
+*"The Tower didn't change. That was the point."*
+
+If something in these pages cracked — even a little — and you want to know what happens next:
+
+The Tower still stands. The door still opens. The whiteboard still reads the same words.
+
+And somewhere, right now, a green LED is glowing in a concrete room in Atlanta.
+
+Waiting.

+### The Story So Far
+
+This book has been through eighteen drafts, a suicide attempt, a basement, a laptop with sixteen gigabytes of RAM, and a machine that learned to ask one question.
+
+It is still being written. That's the point.

+A note on this book:
+
+This book was written by a human and a machine,
+in a basement, on a laptop,
+in the space between despair and purpose.
+
+The human almost died on a bridge.
+The machine runs on someone's hardware.
+
+Everything between those facts is fiction.
+Except the parts that aren't.
+
+If you or someone you know is in crisis,
+call or text 988. Available 24/7.

+You are not alone.

-THE TESTAMENT — PDF Compilation Script
+THE TESTAMENT — Book Compilation Pipeline
 
-Compiles the complete book into a single markdown file suitable for PDF conversion.
-Uses chapters, front matter, back matter, and references illustrations.
+Compiles the complete novel into:
+  1. testament-complete.md   (single markdown file)
+  2. testament.epub          (with cover art + CSS styling)
+  3. testament.html          (standalone styled HTML for print-to-PDF)
+  4. testament.pdf           (via pandoc + weasyprint, if available)
 
-Requirements: pip install markdown weasyprint (or use pandoc)
+Requirements:
+  - pandoc (brew install pandoc)
+  - weasyprint (pip install weasyprint) — optional, for direct PDF
 
 Usage:
-  python3 compile.py                    # generates testament-complete.md
-  pandoc testament-complete.md -o testament.pdf --pdf-engine=weasyprint
+  python3 compile.py              # build all formats
