feat(training): add Timmy Voice Batch 08 — 1K prompt→response pairs (#588)

Generate 1,000 high-quality prompt→response pairs in Timmy's voice using the
Training Factory pipeline (Worker 8/10).

- training-data/generate_timmy_voice_batch08.py (new, deterministic seed=588)
- training-data/timmy-voice-batch08.jsonl (1,000 entries, quality ≥0.80)
- training-data/README-batch08.md (stats: avg quality 0.82, Hermes 440 /
  Sovereignty 491 / Crisis adj 69)

All entries pass validation (required fields, ShareGPT format, crisis protocol).
Closes #588.

+# Gitea Backup & Recovery Runbook
+
+**Last updated:** 2026-04-30  
+**Scope:** Single-node VPS (Ezra, 143.198.27.163) running Gitea  
+**Backup Strategy:** Automated daily full dumps via `gitea dump`
+
+---
+
+## What Gets Backed Up
+
+| Component | Method | Frequency | Retention |
+|-----------|--------|-----------|-----------|
+| All Gitea repositories (bare git dirs) | `gitea dump --file` | Daily at 2:00 AM | 7 days |
+| SQLite databases (gitea.db, indexer.db, etc.) | Included in dump | Daily | 7 days |
+| Attachments, avatars, hooks | Included in dump | Daily | 7 days |
+
+**Backup location:** `/var/backups/gitea/gitea-backup-YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.tar.gz`
+
+**Log file:** `/var/log/gitea-backup.log`
+
+---
+
+## Backup Architecture
+
+The backup script `bin/gitea-backup.sh` runs daily via Hermes cron (`cron/vps/gitea-daily-backup.yml`). It:
+
+1. Locates the Gitea `WORK_PATH` by reading `/etc/gitea/app.ini` or falling back to common locations (`/var/lib/gitea`, `/home/git/gitea`)
+2. Invokes `gitea dump --work-path <path> --file <backup-tar.gz>` — Gitea's native, consistent snapshot mechanism
+3. Prunes archives older than 7 days
+4. Logs all operations to `/var/log/gitea-backup.log`
+
+**Prerequisites on the VPS:**
+- Gitea binary available at `/usr/local/bin/gitea` (or set `GITEA_BIN` env var)
+- `gitea dump` command must be available (Gitea ≥ 1.12)
+- SSH access to the VPS for manual recovery operations
+- Sufficient disk space in `/var/backups/gitea` (typical dump: ~2–10 GB depending on repo count/size)
+
+---
+
+## Recovery Time Objective (RTO) & Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
+
+| Metric | Estimate |
+|--------|----------|
+| **RPO** (data loss window) | ≤ 24 hours (last daily backup) |
+| **RTO** (time to restore) | **~45 minutes** (cold restore from backup tarball) |
+| **Downtime impact** | Gitea offline during restore (~20 min) |
+
+---
+
+## Step-by-Step Recovery Procedure
+
+### Phase 1 — Assess & Prepare (5 min)
+
+1. SSH into Ezra VPS: `ssh root@143.198.27.163`
+2. Stop Gitea so files are quiescent:
+   ```bash
+   systemctl stop gitea
+   ```
+3. Confirm current Gitea data directory (for reference):
+   ```bash
+   gitea --work-path /var/lib/gitea --config /etc/gitea/app.ini dump --help 2>&1
+   # Or check app.ini for WORK_PATH
+   cat /etc/gitea/app.ini | grep '^WORK_PATH'
+   ```
+
+### Phase 2 — Restore from Backup (20 min)
+
+4. Choose the backup tarball to restore from:
+   ```bash
+   ls -lh /var/backups/gitea/
+   # Pick the most recent: gitea-backup-2026-04-29_020001.tar.gz
+   ```
+
+5. **Optional: Move current data aside** (safety copy):
+   ```bash
+   mv /var/lib/gitea /var/lib/gitea.bak-$(date +%s)
+   ```
+
+6. Extract the backup in place:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p /var/lib/gitea
+   tar -xzf /var/backups/gitea/gitea-backup-YYYY-MM-DD_HHMMSS.tar.gz -C /var/lib/gitea --strip-components=1
+   ```
+   *Note:* `gitea dump` archives contain a single top-level directory `gitea-dump-<timestamp>`. The `--strip-components=1` puts its contents directly into `/var/lib/gitea`.
+
+7. Set correct ownership (typically `git:git`):
+   ```bash
+   chown -R git:git /var/lib/gitea
+   ```
+
+### Phase 3 — Restart & Validate (15 min)
+
+8. Start Gitea:
+   ```bash
+   systemctl start gitea
+   ```
+
+9. Wait 30 seconds, then verify:
+   ```bash
+   systemctl status gitea
+   # Check HTTP endpoint
+   curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}' http://localhost:3000/  # Should be 200
+   ```
+
+10. Log into Gitea UI and spot-check:
+    - Home page loads
+    - A few repositories are accessible
+    - Attachments (avatars) render
+    - Recent commits visible
+
+11. If the web UI works but indices are stale, rebuild them (wait for background jobs to process):
+    ```bash
+    gitea admin index rebuild-repo --all
+    ```
+
+### Post-Restore Checklist
+
+- [ ] Admin UI reachable at `https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com`
+- [ ] Sample PRs/milestones/labels present
+- [ ] Repository clone via SSH works: `git clone git@forge.alexanderwhitestone.com:Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config.git`
+- [ ] Check backup script health: `cat /var/log/gitea-backup.log | tail -20`
+- [ ] Re-enable any disabled integrations (webhooks, CI/CD runners)
+- [ ] Notify the fleet: post to relevant channels confirming operational status
+
+---
+
+## Known Issues & Workarounds
+
+| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
+|---------|--------------|-----|
+| `gitea: command not found` | Binary at non-standard path | Set `GITEA_BIN=/path/to/gitea` in cron env |
+| `Permission denied` on backup dir | Cron user lacks write access to `/var/backups` | `mkdir /var/backups/gitea && chown root:root /var/backups/gitea` |
+| Restore fails: `"database or disk is full"` | Insufficient space on `/var/lib/gitea` | Expand disk or clean up old data first; backups require ~1.5x live data size |
+| Old backup tarballs not deleting | Retention cron not firing | Check `systemctl status hermes-cron` and cron logs |
+
+---
+
+## Off-Site Replication (Future Work)
+
+This backup is **on-site only** (same VPS). For true resilience, replicating to a secondary location is recommended:
+
+- **Option A — rsync to second VPS** (Push nightly to `backup@backup-alexanderwhitestone.com:/backups/gitea/`)
+- **Option B — S3-compatible bucket** with lifecycle policy
+- **Option C — GitHub mirror of each repo** using `git push --mirror` (already considered in issue #481 broader work)
+
+Current scope: single-VPS backup only (single point of failure mitigated but not eliminated).
+
+---
