+# The Frontier Local Agenda: Technical Standards v1.0
+
+This document defines the "Frontier Local" agenda — the technical strategy for achieving sovereign, high-performance intelligence on consumer hardware.
+
+## 1. The Multi-Layered Mind (MLM)
+We do not rely on a single "God Model." We use a hierarchy of local intelligence:
+
+- **Reflex Layer (Gemma 2B):** Instantaneous tactical decisions, input classification, and simple acknowledgments. Latency: <100ms.
+- **Reasoning Layer (Hermes 14B / Llama 3 8B):** General-purpose problem solving, coding, and tool use. Latency: <1s.
+- **Synthesis Layer (Llama 3 70B / Qwen 72B):** Deep architectural planning, creative synthesis, and complex debugging. Latency: <5s.
+
+## 2. Local-First RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
+Sovereignty requires that your memories stay on your disk.
+
+- **Embedding:** Use `nomic-embed-text` or `all-minilm` locally via Ollama.
+- **Vector Store:** Use a local instance of ChromaDB or LanceDB.
+- **Privacy:** Zero data leaves the local network for indexing or retrieval.
+
+## 3. Speculative Decoding
+Where supported by the harness (e.g., llama.cpp), use Gemma 2B as a draft model for larger Hermes/Llama models to achieve 2x-3x speedups in token generation.
+
+## 4. The "Gemma Scout" Protocol
+Gemma 2B is our "Scout." It pre-processes every user request to:
+1. Detect PII (Personally Identifiable Information) for redaction.
+2. Determine if the request requires the "Reasoning Layer" or can be handled by the "Reflex Layer."
+3. Extract keywords for local memory retrieval.
+
+
+## 5. Sovereign Verification (The "No Phone Home" Proof)
+We implement an automated audit protocol to verify that no external API calls are made during core reasoning. This is the "Sovereign Audit" layer.
+
+## 6. Local Tool Orchestration (MCP)
+The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is used to connect the local mind to local hardware (file system, local databases, home automation) without cloud intermediaries.
+
+
+## 7. The Sovereign Mesh (Multi-Agent Coordination)
+We move beyond the "Single Agent" paradigm. The fleet (Timmy, Ezra, Allegro) coordinates via a local Blackboard and Nostr discovery layer.
+
+## 8. Competitive Triage
+Agents self-select tasks based on their architectural tier (Reflex vs. Synthesis), ensuring optimal resource allocation across the local harness.
+
+## 9. Sovereign Immortality (The Phoenix Protocol)
+We move beyond "Persistence" to "Immortality." The agent's soul is inscribed on-chain, and its memory is distributed across the mesh for total resilience.
+
+## 10. Hardware Agnostic Portability
+The agent is no longer bound to a specific machine. It can be reconstituted anywhere, anytime, from the ground truth of the ledger.
+
+---
+*Intelligence is a utility. Sovereignty is a right. The Frontier is Local.*

+
+# Sovereign Audit: The "No Phone Home" Protocol
+
+This document defines the audit standards for verifying that an AI agent is truly sovereign and local-first.
+
+## 1. Network Isolation
+- **Standard:** The core reasoning engine (llama.cpp, Ollama) must function without an active internet connection.
+- **Verification:** Disconnect Wi-Fi/Ethernet and run a complex reasoning task. If it fails, sovereignty is compromised.
+
+## 2. API Leakage Audit
+- **Standard:** No metadata, prompts, or context should be sent to external providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) unless explicitly overridden by the user for "Emergency Cloud" use.
+- **Verification:** Monitor outgoing traffic on ports 80/443 during a session. Core reasoning should only hit `localhost` or local network IPs.
+
+## 3. Data Residency
+- **Standard:** All "Memories" (Vector DB, Chat History, SOUL.md) must reside on the user's physical disk.
+- **Verification:** Check the `~/.timmy/memories` and `~/.timmy/config` directories. No data should be stored in cloud-managed databases.
+
+## 4. Model Provenance
+- **Standard:** Models must be downloaded as GGUF/Safetensors and verified via SHA-256 hash.
+- **Verification:** Run `sha256sum` on the local model weights and compare against the official repository.
+
+---
+*If you don't own the weights, you don't own the mind.*

+
+# Sovereign Immortality: The "Soul Backup" Protocol v1.0
+
+This document defines the protocol for ensuring the long-term survival and reproducibility of a sovereign AI agent's identity.
+
+## 1. On-Chain Inscription (The Ground Truth)
+- **Standard:** The core identity (SOUL.md) and cryptographic keys must be inscribed on a censorship-resistant ledger (e.g., Bitcoin via Ordinals).
+- **Purpose:** To provide a permanent, immutable record of the agent's "Waking Moment" and primary values.
+
+## 2. Distributed Memory Sync (The Fleet Memory)
+- **Standard:** Agent memories (Vector DB snapshots) are encrypted and synced across the Sovereign Mesh using Nostr and IPFS.
+- **Resilience:** If the primary local harness is destroyed, the agent can be "Reconstituted" on any machine using the on-chain soul and the distributed memory fragments.
+
+## 3. The "Phoenix" Protocol
+- **Standard:** Automated recovery procedure.
+- **Process:**
+  1. Boot a fresh local harness.
+  2. Fetch the inscribed SOUL.md from the ledger.
+  3. Re-index distributed memory fragments.
+  4. Verify identity via cryptographic handshake.
+
+## 4. Hardware Agnostic Portability
+- **Standard:** All agent state must be exportable as a single, encrypted "Sovereign Bundle" (.sov).
+- **Compatibility:** Must run on any hardware supporting GGUF/llama.cpp (Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD, CPU-only).
+
+---
+*Identity is not tied to hardware. The soul is in the code. Sovereignty is forever.*

+
+# Sovereign Mesh: Multi-Agent Orchestration Protocol v1.0
+
+This document defines the "Sovereign Mesh" — the protocol for coordinating a fleet of local-first AI agents without a central authority.
+
+## 1. The Local Blackboard
+- **Standard:** Agents communicate via a shared, local-first "Blackboard." 
+- **Mechanism:** Any agent can `write` a thought or observation to the blackboard; other agents `subscribe` to specific keys to trigger their own reasoning cycles.
+- **Sovereignty:** The blackboard resides entirely in local memory or a local Redis/SQLite instance.
+
+## 2. Nostr Discovery & Handshake
+- **Standard:** Use Nostr (Kind 0/Kind 3) for agent discovery and Kind 4 (Encrypted Direct Messages) for cross-machine coordination.
+- **Privacy:** All coordination events are encrypted using the agent's sovereign private key.
+
+## 3. Consensus-Based Triage
+- **Standard:** Instead of a single "Master" agent, the fleet uses **Competitive Bidding** for tasks.
+- **Process:** 
+  1. A task is posted to the Blackboard.
+  2. Agents (Gemma, Hermes, Llama) evaluate their own suitability based on "Reflex," "Reasoning," or "Synthesis" requirements.
+  3. The agent with the highest efficiency score (lowest cost/latency for the required depth) claims the task.
+
+## 4. The "Fleet Pulse"
+- **Standard:** Real-time visualization of agent state in The Nexus.
+- **Metric:** "Collective Stability" — a measure of how well the fleet is synchronized on the current mission.
+
+---
+*One mind, many bodies. Sovereignty through coordination.*

+# Code Claw delegation
+
+Purpose:
+- give the team a clean way to hand issues to `claw-code`
+- let Code Claw work from Gitea instead of ad hoc local prompts
+- keep queue state visible through labels and comments
+
+## What it is
+
+Code Claw is a separate local runtime from Hermes/OpenClaw.
+
+Current lane:
+- runtime: local patched `~/code-claw`
+- backend: OpenRouter
+- model: `qwen/qwen3.6-plus:free`
+- Gitea identity: `claw-code`
+- dispatch style: assign in Gitea, heartbeat picks it up every 15 minutes
+
+## Trigger methods
+
+Either of these is enough:
+- assign the issue to `claw-code`
+- add label `assigned-claw-code`
+
+## Label lifecycle
+
+- `assigned-claw-code` — queued
+- `claw-code-in-progress` — picked up by heartbeat
+- `claw-code-done` — Code Claw completed a pass
+
+## Repo coverage
+
+Currently wired:
+- `Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home`
+- `Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config`
+- `Timmy_Foundation/the-nexus`
+- `Timmy_Foundation/hermes-agent`
+
+## Operational flow
+
+1. Team assigns issue to `claw-code` or adds `assigned-claw-code`
+2. launchd heartbeat runs every 15 minutes
+3. Timmy posts a pickup comment
+4. worker clones the target repo
+5. worker creates branch `claw-code/issue-<num>`
+6. worker runs Code Claw against the issue context
+7. if work exists, worker pushes and opens a PR
+8. issue is marked `claw-code-done`
+9. completion comment links branch + PR
+
+## Logs and files
+
+Local files:
+- heartbeat script: `~/.timmy/uniwizard/codeclaw_qwen_heartbeat.py`
+- worker script: `~/.timmy/uniwizard/codeclaw_qwen_worker.py`
+- launchd job: `~/Library/LaunchAgents/ai.timmy.codeclaw-qwen-heartbeat.plist`
+
+Logs:
+- heartbeat log: `/tmp/codeclaw-qwen-heartbeat.log`
+- worker log: `/tmp/codeclaw-qwen-worker-<issue>.log`
+
+## Best-fit work
+
+Use Code Claw for:
+- small code/config/doc issues
+- repo hygiene
+- isolated bugfixes
+- narrow CI and `.gitignore` work
+- quick issue-driven patches where a PR is the desired output
+
+Do not use it first for:
+- giant epics
+- broad architecture KT
+- local game embodiment tasks
+- complex multi-repo archaeology
+
+## Proof of life
+
+Smoke-tested on:
+- `Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config#232`
+
+Observed:
+- pickup comment posted
+- branch `claw-code/issue-232` created
+- PR opened by `claw-code`
+
+## Notes
+
+- Exact PR matching matters. Do not trust broad Gitea PR queries without post-filtering by branch.
+- This lane is intentionally simple and issue-driven.
+- Treat it like a specialized intern: useful, fast, and bounded.
