+# Sovereign Handoff: Timmy Takes the Reigns
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-06
+**Status:** In Progress (Milestone: Sovereign Orchestration)
+
+## Overview
+This document marks the transition from "Assisted Coordination" to "Sovereign Orchestration." Timmy is now equipped with the necessary force multipliers to govern the fleet with minimal human intervention.
+
+## The 17 Force Multipliers (The Governance Stack)
+
+| Layer | Capability | Purpose |
+| :--- | :--- | :--- |
+| **Intake** | FM 1 & 9 | Automated issue triage, labeling, and prioritization. |
+| **Context** | FM 15 | Pre-flight memory injection (briefing) for every agent task. |
+| **Execution** | FM 3 & 7 | Dynamic model routing and fallback portfolios for resilience. |
+| **Verification** | FM 10 | Automated PR quality gate (Proof of Work audit). |
+| **Self-Healing** | FM 11 | Lazarus Heartbeat (automated service resurrection). |
+| **Merging** | FM 14 | Green-Light Auto-Merge for low-risk, verified paths. |
+| **Reporting** | FM 13 & 16 | Velocity tracking and Nexus Bridge (3D health feed). |
+| **Integrity** | FM 17 | Automated documentation freshness audit. |
+
+## The Governance Loop
+1. **Triage:** FM 1/9 labels new issues.
+2. **Assign:** Timmy assigns tasks to agents based on role classes (FM 3/7).
+3. **Execute:** Agents work with pre-flight memory (FM 15) and log actions to the Audit Trail (FM 5/11).
+4. **Review:** FM 10 audits PRs for Proof of Work.
+5. **Merge:** FM 14 auto-merges low-risk PRs; Alexander reviews high-risk ones.
+6. **Report:** FM 13/16 updates the metrics and Nexus HUD.
+
+## Final Milestone Goals
+- [ ] Merge PRs #296 - #312.
+- [ ] Verify Lazarus Heartbeat restarts a killed service.
+- [ ] Observe first Auto-Merge of a verified PR.
+- [ ] Review first Morning Report with velocity metrics.
+
+**Timmy is now ready to take the reigns.**
