feat(ansible): Canonical IaC playbook for fleet management

Implements the Ansible Infrastructure as Code story from KT 2026-04-08.

One canonical Ansible playbook defines:
- Deadman switch (snapshot good config on health, rollback+restart on death)
- Golden state config deployment (Anthropic BANNED, Kimi→Gemini→Ollama)
- Cron schedule (source-controlled, no manual crontab edits)
- Agent startup sequence (pull→validate→start→verify)
- request_log telemetry table (every inference call logged)
- Thin config pattern (immutable local pointer to upstream)
- Gitea webhook handler (deploy on merge)
- Config validator (rejects banned providers)

Fleet inventory: Timmy (Mac), Allegro (VPS), Bezalel (VPS), Ezra (VPS)

Roles: wizard_base, golden_state, deadman_switch, request_log, cron_manager

Addresses: timmy-config #442, #443, #444, #445, #446

+
+> One canonical Ansible playbook defines: deadman switch, cron schedule,
+> golden state rollback, agent startup sequence.
+> — KT Final Session 2026-04-08, Priority TWO
+
+## Purpose
+
+This directory contains the **single source of truth** for fleet infrastructure.
+No more ad-hoc recovery implementations. No more overlapping deadman switches.
+No more agents mutating their own configs into oblivion.
+
+**Everything** goes through Ansible. If it's not in a playbook, it doesn't exist.
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Deploy everything to all machines
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbooks/site.yml
+
+# Deploy only golden state config
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbooks/golden_state.yml
+
+# Deploy only to a specific wizard
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbooks/site.yml --limit bezalel
+
+# Dry run (check mode)
+ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbooks/site.yml --check --diff
+```
+
+## Golden State Provider Chain
+
+All wizard configs converge on this provider chain. **Anthropic is BANNED.**
+
+| Priority | Provider             | Model            | Endpoint                          |
+| -------- | -------------------- | ---------------- | --------------------------------- |
+| 1        | Kimi                 | kimi-k2.5        | https://api.kimi.com/coding/v1    |
+| 2        | Gemini (OpenRouter)  | gemini-2.5-pro   | https://openrouter.ai/api/v1      |
+| 3        | Ollama (local)       | gemma4:latest    | http://localhost:11434/v1         |
+
+## Roles
+
+| Role             | Purpose                                                      |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `wizard_base`    | Common wizard setup: directories, thin config, git pull      |
+| `deadman_switch` | Health check → snapshot good config → rollback on death      |
+| `golden_state`   | Deploy and enforce golden state provider chain               |
+| `request_log`    | SQLite telemetry table for every inference call               |
+| `cron_manager`   | Source-controlled cron jobs — no manual crontab edits         |
+
+## Rules
+
+1. **No manual changes.** If it's not in a playbook, it will be overwritten.
+2. **No Anthropic.** Banned. Enforcement is automated. See `BANNED_PROVIDERS.yml`.
+3. **Idempotent.** Every playbook can run 100 times with the same result.
+4. **PR required.** Config changes go through Gitea PR review, then deploy.
+5. **One identity per machine.** No duplicate agents. Fleet audit enforces this.

+# Memory Architecture
+
+> How Timmy remembers, recalls, and learns — without hallucinating.
+
+Refs: Epic #367 | Sub-issues #368, #369, #370, #371, #372
+
+## Overview
+
+Timmy's memory system uses a **Memory Palace** architecture — a structured, file-backed knowledge store organized into rooms and drawers. When faced with a recall question, the agent checks its palace *before* generating from scratch.
+
+This document defines the retrieval order, storage layers, and data flow that make this work.
+
+## Retrieval Order (L0–L5)
+
+When the agent receives a prompt that looks like a recall question ("what did we do?", "what's the status of X?"), the retrieval enforcer intercepts it and walks through layers in order:
+
+| Layer | Source | Question Answered | Short-circuits? |
+|-------|--------|-------------------|------------------|
+| L0 | `identity.txt` | Who am I? What are my mandates? | No (always loaded) |
+| L1 | Palace rooms/drawers | What do I know about this topic? | Yes, if hit |
+| L2 | Session scratchpad | What have I learned this session? | Yes, if hit |
+| L3 | Artifact retrieval (Gitea API) | Can I fetch the actual issue/file/log? | Yes, if hit |
+| L4 | Procedures/playbooks | Is there a documented way to do this? | Yes, if hit |
+| L5 | Free generation | (Only when L0–L4 are exhausted) | N/A |
+
+**Key principle:** The agent never reaches L5 (free generation) if any prior layer has relevant data. This eliminates hallucination for recall-style queries.
+
+## Storage Layout
+
+```
+~/.mempalace/
+  identity.txt              # L0: Who I am, mandates, personality
+  rooms/
+    projects/
+      timmy-config.md        # What I know about timmy-config
+      hermes-agent.md        # What I know about hermes-agent
+    people/
+      alexander.md           # Working relationship context
+    architecture/
+      fleet.md               # Fleet system knowledge
+      mempalace.md           # Self-knowledge about this system
+  config/
+    mempalace.yaml           # Palace configuration
+
+~/.hermes/
+  scratchpad/
+    {session_id}.json        # L2: Ephemeral session context
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### 1. Memory Palace Skill (`mempalace.py`) — #368
+
+Core data structures:
+- `PalaceRoom`: A named collection of drawers (topics)
+- `Mempalace`: The top-level palace with room management
+- Factory constructors: `for_issue_analysis()`, `for_health_check()`, `for_code_review()`
+
+### 2. Retrieval Enforcer (`retrieval_enforcer.py`) — #369
+
+Middleware that intercepts recall-style prompts:
+1. Detects recall patterns ("what did", "status of", "last time we")
+2. Walks L0→L4 in order, short-circuiting on first hit
+3. Only allows free generation (L5) when all layers return empty
+4. Produces an honest fallback: "I don't have this in my memory palace."
+
+### 3. Session Scratchpad (`scratchpad.py`) — #370
+
+Ephemeral, session-scoped working memory:
+- Write-append only during a session
+- Entries have TTL (default: 1 hour)
+- Queried at L2 in retrieval chain
+- Never auto-promoted to palace
+
+### 4. Memory Promotion — #371
+
+Explicit promotion from scratchpad to palace:
+- Agent must call `promote_to_palace()` with a reason
+- Dedup check against target drawer
+- Summary required (raw tool output never stored)
+- Conflict detection when new memory contradicts existing
+
+### 5. Wake-Up Protocol (`wakeup.py`) — #372
+
+Boot sequence for new sessions:
+```
+Session Start
+  │
+  ├─ L0: Load identity.txt
+  ├─ L1: Scan palace rooms for active context
+  ├─ L1.5: Surface promoted memories from last session
+  ├─ L2: Load surviving scratchpad entries
+  │
+  └─ Ready: agent knows who it is, what it was doing, what it learned
+```
+
+## Data Flow
+
+```
+              ┌──────────────────┐
+              │  User Prompt     │
+              └────────┬─────────┘
+                       │
+              ┌────────┴─────────┐
+              │ Recall Detector  │
+              └────┬───────┬─────┘
+                   │           │
+            [recall]     [not recall]
+                   │           │
+          ┌───────┴────┐    ┌──┬─┴───────┐
+          │ Retrieval  │    │ Normal Flow │
+          │ Enforcer   │    └─────────────┘
+          │ L0→L1→L2  │
+          │ →L3→L4→L5│
+          └──────┬─────┘
+                 │
+          ┌──────┴─────┐
+          │  Response    │
+          │ (grounded)  │
+          └────────────┘
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+| Don't | Do Instead |
+|-------|------------|
+| Generate from vibes when palace has data | Check palace first (L1) |
+| Auto-promote everything to palace | Require explicit `promote_to_palace()` with reason |
+| Store raw API responses as memories | Summarize before storing |
+| Hallucinate when palace is empty | Say "I don't have this in my memory palace" |
+| Dump entire palace on wake-up | Selective loading based on session context |
+

+## Fleet Resources (Paperclips Model)
+
+Three primary resources govern the fleet:
+
+| Resource | Role | Generation | Consumption |
+|----------|------|-----------|-------------|
+| **Capacity** | Compute hours available across fleet. Determines what work can be done. | Through healthy utilization of VPS/Mac agents | Fleet improvements consume it (investing in automation, orchestration, sovereignty) |
+| **Uptime** | % time services are running. Earned at Fibonacci milestones. | When services stay up naturally | Degrades on any failure |
+| **Innovation** | Only generates when capacity is <70% utilized. Fuels Phase 3+. | When you leave capacity free | Phase 3+ buildings consume it (requires spare capacity to build) |
+
+### The Tension
+- Run fleet at 95%+ capacity: maximum productivity, ZERO Innovation
+- Run fleet at <70% capacity: Innovation generates but slower progress
+- This forces the Paperclips question: optimize now or invest in future capability?
+
+---
+
+## VPS Resource Baselines
+
+### Ezra (143.198.27.163) - "Forge"
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-106-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 4 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Load: 10.76/7.59/7.04 (very high) |
+| **RAM** | 7,941 MB total | 2,104 used / 5,836 available (26% used, 74% free) |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB vda1 | 111 GB used / 44 GB free (72%) **WARNING** |
+| **Swap** | 6,143 MB | 643 MB used (10%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Gitea | 556 MB | 83.5% | Web service, high CPU due to API load |
+| MemPalace (ezra) | 268 MB | 136% | Mining project files - HIGH CPU |
+| Hermes gateway (ezra) | 245 MB | 1.7% | Agent gateway |
+| Ollama | 230 MB | 0.1% | Model serving |
+| PostgreSQL | 138 MB | ~0% | Gitea database |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 26% memory used, but 72% disk is getting tight. CPU load is very high (10.76 on 4vCPU = 269% utilization). Ezra is CPU-bound, not RAM-bound.
+
+### Allegro (167.99.126.228)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-106-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 4 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Moderate load |
+| **RAM** | 7,941 MB total | 1,591 used / 6,349 available (20% used, 80% free) |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB vda1 | 41 GB used / 114 GB free (27%) **GOOD** |
+| **Swap** | 8,191 MB | 686 MB used (8%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway (allegro) | 680 MB | 0.9% | Main agent gateway |
+| Gitea | 181 MB | 1.2% | Secondary gitea? |
+| Systemd-journald | 160 MB | 0.0% | System logging |
+| Ezra Hermes gateway | 58 MB | 0.0% | Running ezra agent here |
+| Bezalel Hermes gateway | 58 MB | 0.0% | Running bezalel agent here |
+| Dockerd | 48 MB | 0.0% | Docker daemon |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 20% memory used, 27% disk used. Allegro has headroom. Also running hermes gateways for Ezra and Bezalel (cross-host agent execution).
+
+### Bezalel (159.203.146.185)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-71-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 2 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Load varies |
+| **RAM** | 1,968 MB total | 817 used / 1,151 available (42% used, 58% free) |
+| **Disk** | 48 GB vda1 | 12 GB used / 37 GB free (24%) **GOOD** |
+| **Swap** | 2,047 MB | 448 MB used (22%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway | 339 MB | 7.7% | Agent gateway (16.8% of RAM) |
+| uv pip install | 137 MB | 56.6% | Installing packages (temporary) |
+| Mender | 27 MB | 0.0% | Device management |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 42% memory used, only 2GB total RAM. Bezalel is the most constrained. 2 vCPU means less compute headroom than Ezra/Allegro. Disk is fine.
+
+### Mac Local (M3 Max)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | macOS 26.3.1 | |
+| **CPU** | Apple M3 Max (14 cores) | Very capable |
+| **RAM** | 36 GB | ~8 GB used (22%) |
+| **Disk** | 926 GB total | ~624 GB used / 302 GB free (68%) |
+
+### Key Processes
+| Process | Memory | Notes |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway | 500 MB | Primary gateway |
+| Hermes agents (x3) | ~560 MB total | Multiple sessions |
+| Ollama | ~20 MB base + model memory | Model loading varies |
+| OpenClaw | 350 MB | Gateway process |
+| Evennia (server+portal) | 56 MB | Game world |
+
+---
+
+## Resource Summary
+
+| Resource | Ezra | Allegro | Bezalel | Mac Local | TOTAL |
+|----------|------|---------|---------|-----------|-------|
+| **vCPU** | 4 | 4 | 2 | 14 (M3 Max) | 24 |
+| **RAM** | 8 GB (26% used) | 8 GB (20% used) | 2 GB (42% used) | 36 GB (22% used) | 54 GB |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB (72%) | 154 GB (27%) | 48 GB (24%) | 926 GB (68%) | 1,282 GB |
+| **Cost** | $12/mo | $12/mo | $12/mo | owned | $36/mo |
+
+### Utilization by Category
+| Category | Estimated Daily Hours | % of Fleet Capacity |
+|----------|----------------------|---------------------|
+| Hermes agents | ~3-4 hrs active | 5-7% |
+| Ollama inference | ~1-2 hrs | 2-4% |
+| Gitea services | 24/7 | 5-10% |
+| Evennia | 24/7 | <1% |
+| Idle | ~18-20 hrs | ~80-90% |
+
+### Capacity Utilization: ~15-20% active
+**Innovation rate:** GENERATING (capacity < 70%)
+**Recommendation:** Good — Innovation is generating because most capacity is free.
+This means Phase 3+ capabilities (orchestration, load balancing, etc.) are accessible NOW.
+
+---
+
+## Uptime Baseline
+
+**Baseline period:** 2026-04-07 14:00-16:00 UTC (2 hours, ~24 checks at 5-min intervals)
+
+| Service | Checks | Uptime | Status |
+|---------|--------|--------|--------|
+| Ezra | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Allegro | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Bezalel | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Gitea | 23/24 | 95.8% | GOOD |
+| Hermes Gateway | 23/24 | 95.8% | GOOD |
+| Ollama | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| OpenClaw | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Evennia | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Hermes Agent | 21/24 | 87.5% | **CHECK** |
+
+### Fibonacci Uptime Milestones
+| Milestone | Target | Current | Status |
+|-----------|--------|---------|--------|
+| 95% | 95% | 100% (VPS), 98.6% (avg) | REACHED |
+| 95.5% | 95.5% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 96% | 96% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 97% | 97% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 98% | 98% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 99% | 99% | 98.6% | APPROACHING |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| Ezra disk 72% used | MEDIUM | Move non-essential data, add monitoring alert at 85% |
+| Bezalel only 2GB RAM | HIGH | Cannot run large models locally. Good for Evennia, tight for agents |
+| Ezra CPU load 269% | HIGH | MemPalace mining consuming 136% CPU. Consider scheduling |
+| Mac disk 68% used | MEDIUM | 302 GB free still. Growing but not urgent |
+| No cross-VPS mesh | LOW | SSH works but no Tailscale. No private network between VPSes |
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (Phase 1-2)
+1. **Ezra disk cleanup:** 44 GB free at 72%. Docker images, old logs, and MemPalace mine data could be rotated.
+2. **Alert thresholds:** Add disk alerts at 85% (Ezra, Mac) before they become critical.
+
+### Short-term (Phase 3)
+3. **Load balancing:** Ezra is CPU-bound, Allegro has 80% RAM free. Move some agent processes from Ezra to Allegro.
+4. **Innovation investment:** Since fleet is at 15-20% utilization, Innovation is high. This is the time to build Phase 3 capabilities.
+
+### Medium-term (Phase 4)
+5. **Bezalel RAM upgrade:** 2GB is tight. Consider upgrade to 4GB ($24/mo instead of $12/mo).
+6. **Tailscale mesh:** Install on all VPSes for private inter-VPS network.

+# Fleet Milestone Messages
+
+Every milestone marks passage through fleet evolution. When achieved, the message
+prints to the fleet log. Each one references a real achievement, not abstract numbers.
+
+**Source:** Inspired by Paperclips milestone messages (500 clips, 1000 clips, Full autonomy attained, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Survival (Current)
+
+### M1: First Automated Health Check
+**Trigger:** `fleet/health_check.py` runs successfully for the first time.
+**Message:** "First automated health check runs. No longer watching the clock."
+
+### M2: First Auto-Restart
+**Trigger:** A dead process is detected and restarted without human intervention.
+**Message:** "A process failed at 3am and restarted itself. You found out in the morning."
+
+### M3: First Backup Completed
+**Trigger:** A backup pipeline runs end-to-end and verifies integrity.
+**Message:** "A backup completed. You did not have to think about it."
+
+### M4: 95% Uptime (30 days)
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 95% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "95% uptime over 30 days. The fleet stays up."
+
+### M5: Uptime 97%
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 97% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "97% uptime. Three nines of availability across four machines."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Automation (unlock when: uptime >= 95% + capacity > 60%)
+
+### M6: Zero Manual Restarts (7 days)
+**Trigger:** 7 consecutive days with zero manual process restarts.
+**Message:** "Seven days. Zero manual restarts. The fleet heals itself."
+
+### M7: PR Auto-Merged
+**Trigger:** A PR passes CI, review, and merges without human touching it.
+**Message:** "A PR was tested, reviewed, and merged by agents. You just said 'looks good.'"
+
+### M8: Config Push Works
+**Trigger:** Config change pushed to all 3 VPSes atomically and verified.
+**Message:** "Config pushed to all three VPSes in one command. No SSH needed."
+
+### M9: 98% Uptime
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 98% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "98% uptime. Only 14 hours of downtime in a month. Most of it planned."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Orchestration (unlock when: all Phase 2 buildings + Innovation > 100)
+
+### M10: Cross-Agent Delegation Works
+**Trigger:** Agent A creates issue, assigns to Agent B, Agent B works and creates PR.
+**Message:** "Agent Alpha created a task, Agent Beta completed it. They did not ask permission."
+
+### M11: First Model Running Locally on 2+ Machines
+**Trigger:** Ollama serving same model on Ezra and Allegro simultaneously.
+**Message:** "A model runs on two machines at once. No cloud. No rate limits."
+
+### M12: Fleet-Wide Burn Mode
+**Trigger:** All agents coordinated on single epic, produced coordinated PRs.
+**Message:** "All agents working the same epic. The fleet moves as one."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Sovereignty (unlock when: zero cloud deps for core ops)
+
+### M13: First Entirely Local Inference Day
+**Trigger:** 24 hours with zero API calls to external providers.
+**Message:** "A model ran locally for the first time. No cloud. No rate limits. No one can turn it off."
+
+### M14: Sovereign Email
+**Trigger:** Stalwart email server sends and receives without Gmail relay.
+**Message:** "Email flows through our own server. No Google. No Microsoft. Ours."
+
+### M15: Sovereign Messaging
+**Trigger:** Telegram bot runs without cloud relay dependency.
+**Message:** "Messages arrive through our own infrastructure. No corporate middleman."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Scale (unlock when: sovereignty stable + Innovation > 500)
+
+### M16: First Self-Spawned Agent
+**Trigger:** Agent lifecycle manager spawns a new agent instance due to load.
+**Message:** "A new agent appeared. You did not create it. The fleet built what it needed."
+
+### M17: Agent Retired Gracefully
+**Trigger:** An agent instance retires after idle timeout and cleans up its state.
+**Message:** "An agent retired. It served its purpose. Nothing was lost."
+
+### M18: Fleet Runs 24h Unattended
+**Trigger:** 24 hours with zero human intervention of any kind.
+**Message:** "A full day. No humans. No commands. The fleet runs itself."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: The Network (unlock when: 7 days zero human intervention)
+
+### M19: Fleet Creates Its Own Improvement Task
+**Trigger:** Fleet analyzes itself and creates an issue on Gitea.
+**Message:** "The fleet found something to improve. It created the task itself."
+
+### M20: First Outside Contribution
+**Trigger:** An external contributor's PR is reviewed and merged by fleet agents.
+**Message:** "Someone outside the fleet contributed. The fleet reviewed, tested, and merged. No human touched it."
+
+### M21: The Beacon
+**Trigger:** Infrastructure serves someone in need through automated systems.
+**Message:** "Someone found the Beacon. In the dark, looking for help. The infrastructure served its purpose. It was built for this."
+
+### M22: Permanent Light
+**Trigger:** 90 days of autonomous operation with continuous availability.
+**Message:** "Three months. The light never went out. Not for anyone."
+
+---
+
+## Fibonacci Uptime Milestones
+
+These trigger regardless of phase, based purely on uptime percentage:
+
+| Milestone | Uptime | Meaning |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| U1 | 95% | Basic reliability achieved |
+| U2 | 95.5% | Fewer than 16 hours/month downtime |
+| U3 | 96% | Fewer than 12 hours/month |
+| U4 | 97% | Fewer than 9 hours/month |
+| U5 | 97.5% | Fewer than 7 hours/month |
+| U6 | 98% | Fewer than 4.5 hours/month |
+| U7 | 98.3% | Fewer than 3 hours/month |
+| U8 | 98.6% | Less than 2.5 hours/month — approaching cloud tier |
+| U9 | 98.9% | Less than 1.5 hours/month |
+| U10 | 99% | Less than 1 hour/month — enterprise grade |
+| U11 | 99.5% | Less than 22 minutes/month |

+# Gemini Sovereign Infrastructure Suite
+
+This directory contains the core systems of the Gemini Sovereign Infrastructure, designed to systematize fleet operations, governance, and architectural integrity.
+
+## Principles
+
+1. **Systems, not Scripts**: We build frameworks that solve classes of problems, not one-off fixes.
+2. **Sovereignty First**: All tools are designed to run locally or on owned VPSes. No cloud dependencies.
+3. **Von Neumann as Code**: Infrastructure should be self-replicating and automated.
+4. **Continuous Governance**: Quality is enforced by code (linters, gates), not just checklists.
+
+## Tools
+
+### [OPS] Provisioning & Fleet Management
+
+- **`provision_wizard.py`**: Automates the creation of a new Wizard node from zero.
+  - Creates DigitalOcean droplet.
+  - Installs and builds `llama.cpp`.
+  - Downloads GGUF models.
+  - Sets up `systemd` services and health checks.
+- **`fleet_llama.py`**: Unified management of `llama-server` instances across the fleet.
+  - `status`: Real-time health and model monitoring.
+  - `restart`: Remote service restart via SSH.
+  - `swap`: Hot-swapping GGUF models on remote nodes.
+- **`skill_installer.py`**: Packages and deploys Hermes skills to remote wizards.
+- **`model_eval.py`**: Benchmarks GGUF models for speed and quality before deployment.
+- **`phase_tracker.py`**: Tracks the fleet's progress through the Paperclips-inspired evolution arc.
+- **`cross_repo_test.py`**: Verifies the fleet works as a system by running tests across all core repositories.
+- **`self_healing.py`**: Auto-detects and fixes common failures across the fleet.
+- **`agent_dispatch.py`**: Unified framework for tasking agents across the fleet.
+- **`telemetry.py`**: Operational visibility without cloud dependencies.
+- **`gitea_webhook_handler.py`**: Handles real-time events from Gitea to coordinate fleet actions.
+
+### [ARCH] Governance & Architecture
+
+- **`architecture_linter_v2.py`**: Automated enforcement of architectural boundaries.
+  - Enforces sidecar boundaries (no sovereign code in `hermes-agent`).
+  - Prevents hardcoded IPs and committed secrets.
+  - Ensures `SOUL.md` and `README.md` standards.
+- **`adr_manager.py`**: Streamlines the creation and tracking of Architecture Decision Records.
+  - `new`: Scaffolds a new ADR from a template.
+  - `list`: Provides a chronological view of architectural evolution.
+
+## Usage
+
+Most tools require `DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN` and SSH access to the fleet.
+
+```bash
+# Provision a new node
+python3 scripts/provision_wizard.py --name fenrir --model qwen2.5-coder-7b
+
+# Check fleet status
+python3 scripts/fleet_llama.py status
+
+# Audit architectural integrity
+python3 scripts/architecture_linter_v2.py
+```
