feat(matrix): add Hermes integration verification runbook and probe script

- HERMES_INTEGRATION_VERIFICATION.md maps #166 acceptance criteria to the existing hermes-agent Matrix platform adapter. - verify-hermes-integration.sh performs live probe against any Matrix homeserver to confirm E2EE readiness. Refs #166, #183

+# Hermes Matrix Integration Verification Runbook
+
+> **Issue**: [#166](https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/166) — Stand up Matrix/Conduit for human-to-fleet encrypted communication  
+> **Scaffold**: [#183](https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/183)  
+> **Decisions**: [#187](https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/187)  
+> **Created**: 2026-04-05 by Ezra, Archivist  
+> **Purpose**: Prove that encrypted operator-to-fleet messaging is technically feasible and exactly one deployment away from live verification.
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+The Matrix/Conduit deployment scaffold is complete. What has **not** been widely documented is that the **Hermes gateway already contains a production Matrix platform adapter** (`hermes-agent/gateway/platforms/matrix.py`).
+
+This runbook closes the loop:
+1. It maps the existing adapter to #166 acceptance criteria.
+2. It provides a step-by-step protocol to verify E2EE operator-to-fleet messaging the moment a Conduit homeserver is live.
+3. It includes an executable verification script that can be run against any Matrix homeserver.
+
+**Verdict**: #166 is blocked only by #187 (host/domain/proxy decisions). The integration code is already in repo truth.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Existing Code Reference
+
+The Hermes Matrix adapter is a fully-featured gateway platform implementation:
+
+| File | Lines | Capabilities |
+|------|-------|--------------|
+| `hermes-agent/gateway/platforms/matrix.py` | ~1,200 | Login (token/password), sync loop, E2EE, typing indicators, replies, threads, edits, media upload (image/audio/file), voice message support |
+| `hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_matrix.py` | — | Unit/integration tests for message send/receive |
+| `hermes-agent/tests/gateway/test_matrix_voice.py` | — | Voice message delivery tests |
+
+**Key facts**:
+- E2EE is supported via `matrix-nio[e2e]`.
+- Megolm session keys are exported on disconnect and re-imported on reconnect.
+- Unverified devices are handled with automatic retry logic.
+- The adapter supports both access-token and password authentication.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Environment Variables
+
+To activate the Matrix adapter in any Hermes wizard house, set these in the local `.env`:
+
+```bash
+# Required
+MATRIX_HOMESERVER="https://matrix.timmy.foundation"
+MATRIX_USER_ID="@ezra:matrix.timmy.foundation"
+
+# Auth: pick one method
+MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN="syt_..."
+# OR
+MATRIX_PASSWORD="<32+ char random string>"
+
+# Optional but recommended
+MATRIX_ENCRYPTION="true"
+MATRIX_ALLOWED_USERS="@alexander:matrix.timmy.foundation"
+MATRIX_HOME_ROOM="!operatorRoomId:matrix.timmy.foundation"
+```
+
+---
+
+## 3. Pre-Deployment Verification Script
+
+Run this **before** declaring #166 complete to confirm the adapter can connect, encrypt, and respond.
+
+### Usage
+
+```bash
+# On the host running Hermes (e.g., Hermes VPS)
+export MATRIX_HOMESERVER="https://matrix.timmy.foundation"
+export MATRIX_USER_ID="@ezra:matrix.timmy.foundation"
+export MATRIX_ACCESS_TOKEN="syt_..."
+export MATRIX_ENCRYPTION="true"
+
+./infra/matrix/scripts/verify-hermes-integration.sh
+```
+
+### What It Verifies
+
+1. `matrix-nio` is installed.
+2. Required env vars are set.
+3. The homeserver is reachable.
+4. Login succeeds.
+5. The operator room is joined.
+6. A test message (`!ping`) is sent.
+7. E2EE state is initialized (if enabled).
+
+---
+
+## 4. Manual Verification Protocol (Post-#187)
+
+Once Conduit is deployed and the operator room `#operator-room:matrix.timmy.foundation` exists:
+
+### Step 1: Create Bot Account
+```bash
+# As Conduit admin
+curl -X POST "https://matrix.timmy.foundation/_matrix/client/v3/register" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"username":"ezra","password":"<random>","type":"m.login.dummy"}'
+```
+
+### Step 2: Obtain Access Token
+```bash
+curl -X POST "https://matrix.timmy.foundation/_matrix/client/v3/login" \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "type": "m.login.password",
+    "user": "@ezra:matrix.timmy.foundation",
+    "password": "<random>"
+  }'
+```
+
+### Step 3: Run Verification Script
+```bash
+cd /opt/timmy-config
+./infra/matrix/scripts/verify-hermes-integration.sh
+```
+
+### Step 4: Human Test (Alexander)
+1. Open Element Web or native Element app.
+2. Log in as `@alexander:matrix.timmy.foundation`.
+3. Join `#operator-room:matrix.timmy.foundation`.
+4. Send `!ping`.
+5. Confirm `@ezra:matrix.timmy.foundation` replies with `Pong`.
+6. Verify the room shield icon shows encrypted (🔒).
+
+---
+
+## 5. Acceptance Criteria Mapping
+
+Maps #166 criteria to existing implementations:
+
+| #166 Criterion | Status | Evidence |
+|----------------|--------|----------|
+| Deploy Conduit homeserver | 🟡 Blocked by #187 | `infra/matrix/` scaffold complete |
+| Create fleet rooms/channels | 🟡 Blocked by #187 | `scripts/bootstrap-fleet-rooms.py` ready |
+| **Verify encrypted operator-to-fleet messaging** | ✅ **Code exists** | `hermes-agent/gateway/platforms/matrix.py` + this runbook |
+| Alexander can message the fleet over Matrix | 🟡 Pending live server | Adapter supports command routing; `HERMES_MATRIX_CLIENT_SPEC.md` defines command vocabulary |
+| Telegram is no longer the only command surface | 🟡 Pending cutover | `CUTOVER_PLAN.md` ready |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Accountability
+
+| Task | Owner | Evidence |
+|------|-------|----------|
+| Conduit deployment | @allegro / @timmy | Close #187, run `deploy-matrix.sh` |
+| Bot account provisioning | @ezra | This runbook §1–4 |
+| Integration verification | @ezra | `verify-hermes-integration.sh` |
+| Human E2EE test | @rockachopa | Element client + operator room |
+| Telegram cutover | @ezra | `CUTOVER_PLAN.md` |
+
+---
+
+## 7. Risk Mitigation
+
+| Risk | Mitigation |
+|------|------------|
+| `matrix-nio[e2e]` not installed | Verification script checks this and exits with install command |
+| E2EE key import fails | Adapter falls back to plain text; verification script warns |
+| Homeserver federation issues | Protocol uses direct client-server API, not federation |
+| Bot cannot join encrypted room | Ensure bot is invited *before* encryption is enabled, or use admin API to force-join |
