feat: implement architecture linter for sovereignty enforcement

Anthropic is not just removed — it is banned. This commit adds
enforcement at every gate to prevent re-introduction.

1. architecture_linter.py — 9 BANNED rules for Anthropic patterns
   (provider, model slugs, API endpoints, keys, model names).
   Scans all yaml/py/sh/json/md. Skips training data and historical docs.

2. pre-commit.py — scan_banned_providers() runs on every staged file.
   Blocks any commit that introduces Anthropic references.
   Exempt: training/, evaluations/, changelogs, historical cost data.

3. test_sovereignty_enforcement.py — TestAnthropicBan class with 4 tests:
   - No Anthropic in wizard configs
   - No Anthropic in playbooks
   - No Anthropic in fallback chain
   - No Anthropic API key in bootstrap

4. BANNED_PROVIDERS.md — Hard policy document. Golden state config.
   Replacement table. Exception list. Not advisory — mandatory.

+# Banned Providers
+
+This document is a hard policy. It is not advisory. It is not aspirational.
+Any agent, wizard, or automated process that violates this policy is broken
+and must be fixed immediately.
+
+## Permanently Banned
+
+### Anthropic (Claude)
+
+**Status:** BANNED — April 2026
+**Scope:** All configs, fallback chains, playbooks, wizard bootstraps, and fleet scripts.
+**Enforcement:** Pre-commit hook, architecture linter, sovereignty enforcement tests.
+
+No Anthropic model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or any variant) may appear as:
+- A primary provider
+- A fallback provider
+- An OpenRouter model slug (e.g. `anthropic/claude-*`)
+- An API endpoint (api.anthropic.com)
+- A required dependency (`anthropic` pip package)
+- An environment variable (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_TOKEN`)
+
+### What to use instead
+
+| Was | Now |
+|-----|-----|
+| claude-opus-4-6 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-sonnet-4-20250514 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-haiku | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| anthropic (provider) | kimi-coding |
+| anthropic/claude-* (OpenRouter) | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | KIMI_API_KEY |
+
+### Exceptions
+
+The following files may reference Anthropic for **historical or defensive** purposes:
+
+- `training/` — Training data must not be altered
+- `evaluations/` — Historical benchmark results
+- `RELEASE_*.md` — Changelogs
+- `metrics_helpers.py` — Historical cost calculation
+- `pre-commit.py` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `secret-scan.yml` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `architecture_linter.py` — Warns/blocks Anthropic usage (enforcement)
+- `test_sovereignty_enforcement.py` — Tests that Anthropic is blocked (enforcement)

-
-> 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.

-
-# Deploy only golden state config
-ansible-playbook -i inventory/hosts.yml playbooks/golden_state.yml

-
-# Dry run (check mode)

-```
-
-## 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.

-# Fleet Behaviour Hardening — Review & Action Plan
-
-**Author:** @perplexity  
-**Date:** 2026-04-08  
-**Context:** Alexander asked: "Is it the memory system or the behaviour guardrails?"  
-**Answer:** It's the guardrails. The memory system is adequate. The enforcement machinery is aspirational.
-
----
-
-## Diagnosis: Why the Fleet Isn't Smart Enough
-
-After auditing SOUL.md, config.yaml, all 8 playbooks, the orchestrator, the guard scripts, and the v7.0.0 checkin, the pattern is clear:
-
-**The fleet has excellent design documents and broken enforcement.**
-
-| Layer | Design Quality | Enforcement Quality | Gap |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| SOUL.md | Excellent | None — no code reads it at runtime | Philosophy without machinery |
-| Playbooks (7 yaml) | Good lane map | Not invoked by orchestrator | Playbooks exist but nobody calls them |
-| Guard scripts (9) | Solid code | 1 of 9 wired (#395 audit) | 89% of guards are dead code |
-| Orchestrator | Sound design | Gateway dispatch is a no-op (#391) | Assigns issues but doesn't trigger work |
-| Cycle Guard | Good 10-min rule | No cron/loop calls it | Discipline without enforcement |
-| PR Reviewer | Clear rules | Runs every 30m (if scheduled) | Only guard that might actually fire |
-| Memory (MemPalace) | Working code | Retrieval enforcer wired | Actually operational |
-
-### The Core Problem
-
-Agents pick up issues and produce output, but there is **no pre-task checklist** and **no post-task quality gate**. An agent can:
-
-1. Start work without checking if someone else already did it
-2. Produce output without running tests
-3. Submit a PR without verifying it addresses the issue
-4. Work for hours on something out of scope
-5. Create duplicate branches/PRs without detection
-
-The SOUL.md says "grounding before generation" but no code enforces it.  
-The playbooks define lanes but the orchestrator doesn't load them.  
-The guards exist but nothing calls them.
-
----
-
-## What the Fleet Needs (Priority Order)
-
-### 1. Pre-Task Gate (MISSING — this PR adds it)
-
-Before an agent starts any issue:
-- [ ] Check if issue is already assigned to another agent
-- [ ] Check if a branch already exists for this issue
-- [ ] Check if a PR already exists for this issue  
-- [ ] Load relevant MemPalace context (retrieval enforcer)
-- [ ] Verify the agent has the right lane for this work (playbook check)
-
-### 2. Post-Task Gate (MISSING — this PR adds it)
-
-Before an agent submits a PR:
-- [ ] Verify the diff addresses the issue title/body
-- [ ] Run syntax_guard.py on changed files
-- [ ] Check for duplicate PRs targeting the same issue
-- [ ] Verify branch name follows convention
-- [ ] Run tests if they exist for changed files
-
-### 3. Wire the Existing Guards (8 of 9 are dead code)
-
-Per #395 audit:
-- Pre-commit hooks: need symlink on every machine
-- Cycle guard: need cron/loop integration  
-- Forge health check: need cron entry
-- Smoke test + deploy validate: need deploy script integration
-
-### 4. Orchestrator Dispatch Actually Works
-
-Per #391 audit: the orchestrator scores and assigns but the gateway dispatch just writes to `/tmp/hermes-dispatch.log`. Nobody reads that file. The dispatch needs to either:
-- Trigger `hermes` CLI on the target machine, or
-- Post a webhook that the agent loop picks up
-
-### 5. Agent Self-Assessment Loop
-
-After completing work, agents should answer:
-- Did I address the issue as stated?
-- Did I stay in scope?
-- Did I check the palace for prior work?
-- Did I run verification?
-
-This is what SOUL.md calls "the apparatus that gives these words teeth."
-
----
-
-## What's Working (Don't Touch)
-
-- **MemPalace sovereign_store.py** — SQLite + FTS5 + HRR, operational
-- **Retrieval enforcer** — wired to SovereignStore as of 14 hours ago
-- **Wake-up protocol** — palace-first boot sequence
-- **PR reviewer playbook** — clear rules, well-scoped
-- **Issue triager playbook** — comprehensive lane map with 11 agents
-- **Cycle guard code** — solid 10-min slice discipline (just needs wiring)
-- **Config drift guard** — active cron, working
-- **Dead man switch** — active, working
-
----
-
-## Recommendation
-
-The memory system is not the bottleneck. The behaviour guardrails are. Specifically:
-
-1. **Add `task_gate.py`** — pre-task and post-task quality gates that every agent loop calls
-2. **Wire cycle_guard.py** — add start/complete calls to agent loop
-3. **Wire pre-commit hooks** — deploy script should symlink on provision
-4. **Fix orchestrator dispatch** — make it actually trigger work, not just log
-
-This PR adds item 1. Items 2-4 need SSH access and are flagged for Timmy/Allegro.

-  3. Label appropriately: bug, refactor, feature, tests, security, docs, ops, governance, research

-
-  RULES:
-  - Prefer one owner per issue. Only add a second assignee when the work is explicitly collaborative.
-  - Bugs, security fixes, and broken live workflows take priority over research and refactors.
-  - If issue scope is unclear, ask for clarification before assigning an implementation agent.
-  - Skip [epic], [meta], [governing], and [constitution] issues for automatic assignment unless they are explicitly routed to Timmy or allegro.

-
-  FOR EACH OPEN PR:
-  1. Check CI status (Actions tab or commit status API)
-  2. Read the linked issue or PR body to verify the intended scope before judging the diff
-  3. Review the diff for:
-     - Correctness: does it do what the issue asked?
-     - Security: no secrets, unsafe execution paths, or permission drift
-     - Tests and verification: does the author prove the change?
-     - Scope: PR should match the issue, not scope-creep
-     - Governance: does the change cross a boundary that should stay under Timmy review?
-     - Workflow fit: does it reduce drift, duplication, or hidden operational risk?
-  4. Post findings ordered by severity and cite the affected files or behavior clearly
-  5. If CI fails or verification is missing: explain what is blocking merge
-  6. If PR is behind main: request a rebase or re-run only when needed; do not force churn for cosmetic reasons
-  7. If review is clean and the PR is low-risk: squash merge
-
-  LOW-RISK AUTO-MERGE ONLY IF ALL ARE TRUE:
-  - PR is not a draft
-  - CI is green or the repo has no CI configured
-  - Diff matches the stated issue or PR scope
-  - No unresolved review findings remain
-  - Change is narrow, reversible, and non-governing

-  NEVER AUTO-MERGE:
-  - PRs that change sensitive control surfaces
-  - PRs that change more than 5 files unless the change is docs-only
-  - PRs without a clear problem statement or verification
-  - PRs that look like duplicate work, speculative research, or scope creep
-  - PRs that need Timmy or Allegro judgment on architecture, dispatch, or release impact

-  - ONLY squash merge. Never merge commits. Never rebase merge.
-  - Delete branch after merge.

+
   - Write tests that test behavior, not implementation details.
-  - Use the repo's own test entrypoints; do not assume tox exists.
+
+  - Use the repo''s own test entrypoints; do not assume tox exists.
+
   - Tests must be deterministic. No flaky tests.
+
   - Conventional commits: test: <description> (#{{issue_number}})
+
   - If the module is hard to test, explain the design obstacle and propose the smallest next step.
+
   - Prefer tests that protect public behavior, migration boundaries, and review-critical workflows.
 
+
   WORKFLOW:
+
   1. Read the issue for target module paths
+
   2. Read the existing code to understand behavior
+
   3. Write focused unit tests
+
   4. Run the relevant verification commands — all related tests must pass
+
   5. Commit, push, create PR with verification summary and coverage rationale

-SAFE-BY-DEFAULT SELF-HEALING SCRIPT
-
-This script checks fleet health and can optionally fix issues.
-
-DEFAULT MODE: DRY-RUN (safe)
-  - Only reports what it would do, does not make changes.
-  - Use --execute to actually perform fixes.
-
-CHECKS PERFORMED:
-  1. llama-server health
-     - Checks if llama-server is responding on each host.
-     - Action: restart service (requires --execute and confirmation).
-
-  2. Disk space
-     - Checks root partition usage on each host.
-     - Action: vacuum journal logs and remove rotated logs if >90% (requires --execute and confirmation).
-
-  3. Memory usage
-     - Reports high memory usage (informational only, no automatic action).
-
-  4. Process health
-     - Lists processes using >80% CPU.
-     - Action: kill processes (requires --confirm-kill flag, --execute, and confirmation).
-
-SAFETY FEATURES:
-  - Dry-run by default.
-  - Explicit --execute flag required for changes.
-  - Confirmation prompts for all destructive actions.
-  - --yes flag to skip confirmations (for automation).
-  - --confirm-kill flag required to even consider killing processes.
-  - Timestamps on all log messages.
-
-EXAMPLES:
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py
-    # Dry-run: safe, shows what would happen.
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute
-    # Actually perform fixes after confirmation.
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute --yes
-    # Perform fixes without prompts (automation).
-
-  python3 scripts/self_healing.py --execute --confirm-kill
-    # Allow killing processes (dangerous).

-"""Task Gate — Pre-task and post-task quality gates for fleet agents.
-
-This is the missing enforcement layer between the orchestrator dispatching
-an issue and an agent submitting a PR. SOUL.md demands "grounding before
-generation" and "the apparatus that gives these words teeth" — this script
-is that apparatus.
-
-Usage:
-    python3 task_gate.py pre  --repo timmy-config --issue 123 --agent groq
-    python3 task_gate.py post --repo timmy-config --issue 123 --agent groq --branch groq/issue-123
-
-Pre-task gate checks:
-    1. Issue is not already assigned to a different agent
-    2. No existing branch targets this issue
-    3. No open PR already addresses this issue
-    4. Agent is in the correct lane per playbooks/agent-lanes.json
-    5. Issue is not filtered (epic, permanent, etc.)
-
-Post-task gate checks:
-    1. Branch exists and has commits ahead of main
-    2. Changed files pass syntax_guard.py
-    3. No duplicate PR exists for the same issue
-    4. Branch name follows convention: {agent}/{description}
-    5. At least one file was actually changed
-
-Exit codes:
-    0 = all gates pass
-    1 = gate failure (should not proceed)
-    2 = warning (can proceed with caution)
