+# Canonical Fleet Services
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-04-28 (audit #880)  
+**Parent:** #478  
+**Scope:** Local cron jobs, launchd agents, daemon scripts, and watchdog processes in Timmy's sovereign fleet.
+
+> This document is the source-of-truth inventory of what services are **intentionally running** and what has been deliberately removed. It is not a live diagnostic — for that, see `docs/automation-inventory.md` (launchd) and `scripts/cron-audit-662.py` (cron health).
+
+---
+
+## Quick state summary
+
+| Layer | Total | Canonical | Dead / superseded | Action taken |
+|-------|-------|-----------|-------------------|--------------|
+| Hermes cron jobs | 8 → **6** | 6 | 2 (Triage Heartbeat, PR Review Sweep) | Removed from `cron/jobs.json` |
+| VPS crontab jobs | 25 | 25 | 0 | Untouched (per #880 hard rule) |
+| launchd agents | 5 (live) | 5 | 3 quarantined in 2026-04-04 cleanup | Documented only |
+| daemon/watchdog | see automation-inventory.md | — | — | — |
+
+---
+
+## Hermes cron jobs (source: `cron/jobs.json`)
+
+These are managed by the Hermes cron system (`~/.hermes/cron/jobs.json`). Jobs marked **REMOVED** have been excised from source control as dead, superseded, or non-canonical.
+
+| Name | Schedule | Enabled | Owner | Purpose | Status |
+|------|----------|---------|-------|---------|--------|
+| Health Monitor | every 5m | yes | Ops | Ollama/disk/memory/GPU health check | ✅ Canonical |
+| Muda Audit | 0 21 * * 0 (Sun) | yes | Ezra | Weekly fleet audit (`fleet/muda-audit.sh`) | ✅ Canonical |
+| Kaizen Retro | daily 07:30 | yes | Ezra | Post-burn retrospective (`scripts/kaizen_retro.py`) | ✅ Canonical |
+| Overnight R&D Loop | nightly 22:00 EDT | yes | Research | Deep dive papers, tool-use training data | ✅ Canonical |
+| Autonomous Cron Supervisor | every 7m | yes | Timmy | Monitors dev/timmy tmux sessions (`tmux-supervisor`) | ✅ Canonical |
+| Hermes Philosophy Loop | every 1440m | no | Timmy | Draft — issues to hermes-agent | ⏸️ Disabled (draft) |
+| **Triage Heartbeat** | every 15m | no | **Dashboard** | Scan & auto-assign issues | **❌ REMOVED** — dashboard repo frozen, loops redirected to the-nexus |
+| **PR Review Sweep** | every 30m | no | **Dashboard** | Review diffs, merge passing PRs | **❌ REMOVED** — dashboard repo frozen, loops redirected to the-nexus |
+
+**Removal rationale (issue #880):** Triage Heartbeat and PR Review Sweep were dashboard-era jobs paused on 2026-04-04 with the explicit reason: *"Dashboard repo frozen - loops redirected to the-nexus."* They have been superseded by the-nexus coordinator flows and pose state-rot risk if accidentally re-enabled. They are deleted from `cron/jobs.json`.
+
+---
+
+## VPS crontab jobs
+
+Per the hard rule in #880, VPS-specific crontab entries are **NOT modified** in this issue. They remain as-is in `cron/vps/*-crontab-backup.txt`.
+
+**Allegro** (7 jobs) — model download guard, heartbeat daemon, burn-mode loops, dead-man monitor  
+**Ezra** (8 jobs) — burn-mode, gitea/awareness loops, kt compiler, mempalace nightly, dispatch  
+**Bezalel** (8 jobs) — nightly watch, act runner daemon, backups, heartbeat, secret guard, ultraplan  
+
+See individual files for accurate listings:
+- `cron/vps/allegro-crontab-backup.txt`
+- `cron/vps/ezra-crontab-backup.txt`
+- `cron/vps/bezalel-crontab-backup.txt`

+# Git Hooks
+
+Pre-commit hooks extracted from the `hermes-agent` fork. These hooks run automated checks before each commit.
+
+## Installation
+
+To use these hooks in any repository, set the `core.hooksPath` to this directory:
+
+```bash
+git config core.hooksPath /path/to/timmy-config/hermes-sovereign/githooks
+```
+
+The path should be absolute or relative to the repository root. For example, if `timmy-config` is cloned alongside your project:
+
+```bash
+# From your project root
+git config core.hooksPath ../timmy-config/hermes-sovereign/githooks
+```
+
+Once configured, Git will execute the hooks from this directory whenever you run `git commit` in that repository.
+
+## Hooks
+
+| Hook | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `pre-commit` | Wrapper that invokes `pre-commit.py` for secret leak detection |
+| `pre-commit.py` | Scans staged diffs and file contents for secrets, tokens, private keys, and credential patterns |
+
+## Bypass
+
+To skip hooks for a single commit (use sparingly):
+
+```bash
+git commit --no-verify -m "Your message"
+```
+
+## What the Hook Checks
+
+The pre-commit hook scans staged changes for:
+- API tokens and service keys
+- Private keys and certificates  
+- Hardcoded credentials and passwords
+- Known secret file paths and patterns
+
+If a potential secret is detected, the commit is blocked and a Finding is printed to stderr.
+
+## Updating
+
+Commit changes to this directory directly in `timmy-config`. Any repository using these hooks will automatically pick up updates the next time they pull changes to this directory (the hooks themselves are read fresh on each commit).
