art: The Timmy Foundation visual story — 24 images, 2 videos, generated with Grok Imagine

Resolves #355 #356

Components:
- orchestrator.py: Full sovereign orchestrator with 6 subsystems
  1. Backlog reader (fetches from timmy-config, the-nexus, timmy-home)
  2. Priority scorer (0-100 based on severity, age, assignment state)
  3. Agent roster (groq/ezra/bezalel with health checks)
  4. Dispatcher (matches issues to agents by type/strength)
  5. Consolidated report (terminal + Telegram)
  6. Main loop (--once, --daemon, --dry-run)
- orchestrate.sh: Shell wrapper with env setup

Dry-run tested: 348 issues scanned, 3 agents detected UP.
stdlib only, no pip dependencies.
