+# Ansible IaC — The Timmy Foundation Fleet
+
+> 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 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.

+     7|common sense fallbacks automatically.

+     9|Fallback chain:
+    10|1. Primary model (Anthropic) down -> switch config to local-llama.cpp
+    11|2. Gitea unreachable -> cache issues locally, retry on recovery
+    12|3. VPS agents down -> alert + lazarus protocol
+    13|4. Local llama.cpp down -> try Ollama, then alert-only mode
+    14|5. All inference dead -> safe mode (cron pauses, alert Alexander)
+    15|
+    16|Each fallback is reversible. Recovery auto-restores the previous config.

+# 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 |
+
+## Status
+
+| Component | Issue | PR | Status |
+|-----------|-------|----|--------|
+| Skill port | #368 | #374 | In Review |
+| Retrieval enforcer | #369 | #374 | In Review |
+| Session scratchpad | #370 | #374 | In Review |
+| Memory promotion | #371 | — | Open |
+| Wake-up protocol | #372 | #374 | In Review |

+# 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
+```
