feat: implement architecture linter for sovereignty enforcement

Anthropic is not just removed — it is banned. This commit adds
enforcement at every gate to prevent re-introduction.

1. architecture_linter.py — 9 BANNED rules for Anthropic patterns
   (provider, model slugs, API endpoints, keys, model names).
   Scans all yaml/py/sh/json/md. Skips training data and historical docs.

2. pre-commit.py — scan_banned_providers() runs on every staged file.
   Blocks any commit that introduces Anthropic references.
   Exempt: training/, evaluations/, changelogs, historical cost data.

3. test_sovereignty_enforcement.py — TestAnthropicBan class with 4 tests:
   - No Anthropic in wizard configs
   - No Anthropic in playbooks
   - No Anthropic in fallback chain
   - No Anthropic API key in bootstrap

4. BANNED_PROVIDERS.md — Hard policy document. Golden state config.
   Replacement table. Exception list. Not advisory — mandatory.

+# Banned Providers
+
+This document is a hard policy. It is not advisory. It is not aspirational.
+Any agent, wizard, or automated process that violates this policy is broken
+and must be fixed immediately.
+
+## Permanently Banned
+
+### Anthropic (Claude)
+
+**Status:** BANNED — April 2026
+**Scope:** All configs, fallback chains, playbooks, wizard bootstraps, and fleet scripts.
+**Enforcement:** Pre-commit hook, architecture linter, sovereignty enforcement tests.
+
+No Anthropic model (Claude Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, or any variant) may appear as:
+- A primary provider
+- A fallback provider
+- An OpenRouter model slug (e.g. `anthropic/claude-*`)
+- An API endpoint (api.anthropic.com)
+- A required dependency (`anthropic` pip package)
+- An environment variable (`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, `ANTHROPIC_TOKEN`)
+
+### What to use instead
+
+| Was | Now |
+|-----|-----|
+| claude-opus-4-6 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-sonnet-4-20250514 | kimi-k2.5 |
+| claude-haiku | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| anthropic (provider) | kimi-coding |
+| anthropic/claude-* (OpenRouter) | google/gemini-2.5-pro |
+| ANTHROPIC_API_KEY | KIMI_API_KEY |
+
+### Exceptions
+
+The following files may reference Anthropic for **historical or defensive** purposes:
+
+- `training/` — Training data must not be altered
+- `evaluations/` — Historical benchmark results
+- `RELEASE_*.md` — Changelogs
+- `metrics_helpers.py` — Historical cost calculation
+- `pre-commit.py` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `secret-scan.yml` — Detects leaked Anthropic keys (defensive)
+- `architecture_linter.py` — Warns/blocks Anthropic usage (enforcement)
+- `test_sovereignty_enforcement.py` — Tests that Anthropic is blocked (enforcement)
+
+### Golden State
+
+```yaml
+fallback_providers:
+  - provider: kimi-coding
+    model: kimi-k2.5
+    reason: Primary
+  - provider: openrouter
+    model: google/gemini-2.5-pro

+    base_url: http://localhost:11434/v1
+    reason: Terminal fallback — never phones home

+# 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

+    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 |
+

+# CrewAI Evaluation for Phase 2 Integration
+
+**Date:** 2026-04-07  
+**Issue:** [#358 ORCHESTRATOR-4] Evaluate CrewAI for Phase 2 integration  
+**Author:** Ezra  
+**House:** hermes-ezra
+
+## Summary
+
+CrewAI was installed, a 2-agent proof-of-concept crew was built, and an operational test was attempted against issue #358. Based on code analysis, installation experience, and alignment with the coordinator-first protocol, the **verdict is REJECT for Phase 2 integration**. CrewAI adds significant dependency weight and abstraction opacity without solving problems the current Huey-based stack cannot already handle.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Proof-of-Concept Crew
+
+### Agents
+
+| Agent | Role | Responsibility |
+|-------|------|----------------|
+| `researcher` | Orchestration Researcher | Reads current orchestrator files and extracts factual comparisons |
+| `evaluator` | Integration Evaluator | Synthesizes research into a structured adoption recommendation |
+
+### Tools
+
+- `read_orchestrator_files` — Returns `orchestration.py`, `tasks.py`, `bin/timmy-orchestrator.sh`, and `docs/coordinator-first-protocol.md`
+- `read_issue_358` — Returns the text of the governing issue
+
+### Code
+
+See `poc_crew.py` in this directory for the full implementation.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Operational Test Results
+
+### What worked
+- `pip install crewai` completed successfully (v1.13.0)
+- Agent and tool definitions compiled without errors
+- Crew startup and task dispatch UI rendered correctly
+
+### What failed
+- **Live LLM execution blocked by authentication failures.** Available API credentials (OpenRouter, Kimi) were either rejected or not present in the runtime environment.
+- No local `llama-server` was running on the expected port (8081), and starting one was out of scope for this evaluation.
+
+### Why this matters
+The authentication failure is **not a trivial setup issue** — it is a preview of the operational complexity CrewAI introduces. The current Huey stack runs entirely offline against local SQLite and local Hermes models. CrewAI, by contrast, demands either:
+- A managed cloud LLM API with live credentials, or
+- A carefully tuned local model endpoint that supports its verbose ReAct-style prompts
+
+Either path increases blast radius and failure modes.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Current Custom Orchestrator Analysis
+
+### Stack
+- **Huey** (`orchestration.py`) — SQLite-backed task queue, ~6 lines of initialization
+- **tasks.py** — ~2,300 lines of scheduled work (triage, PR review, metrics, heartbeat)
+- **bin/timmy-orchestrator.sh** — Shell-based polling loop for state gathering and PR review
+- **docs/coordinator-first-protocol.md** — Intake → Triage → Route → Track → Verify → Report
+
+### Strengths
+1. **Sovereignty** — No external SaaS dependency for queue execution. SQLite is local and inspectable.
+2. **Gitea as truth** — All state mutations are visible in the forge. Local-only state is explicitly advisory.
+3. **Simplicity** — Huey has a tiny surface area. A human can read `orchestration.py` in seconds.
+4. **Tool-native** — `tasks.py` calls Hermes directly via `subprocess.run([HERMES_PYTHON, ...])`. No framework indirection.
+5. **Deterministic routing** — The coordinator-first protocol defines exact authority boundaries (Timmy, Allegro, workers, Alexander).
+
+### Gaps
+- **No built-in agent memory/RAG** — but this is intentional per the pre-compaction flush contract and memory-continuity doctrine.
+- **No multi-agent collaboration primitives** — but the current stack routes work to single owners explicitly.
+- **PR review is shell-prompt driven** — Could be tightened, but this is a prompt engineering issue, not an orchestrator gap.
+
+---
+
+## 4. CrewAI Capability Analysis
+
+### What CrewAI offers
+- **Agent roles** — Declarative backstory/goal/role definitions
+- **Task graphs** — Sequential, hierarchical, or parallel task execution
+- **Tool registry** — Pydantic-based tool schemas with auto-validation
+- **Memory/RAG** — Built-in short-term and long-term memory via ChromaDB/LanceDB
+- **Crew-wide context sharing** — Output from one task flows to the next
+
+### Dependency footprint observed
+CrewAI pulled in **85+ packages**, including:
+- `chromadb` (~20 MB) + `onnxruntime` (~17 MB)
+- `lancedb` (~47 MB)
+- `kubernetes` client (unused but required by Chroma)
+- `grpcio`, `opentelemetry-*`, `pdfplumber`, `textual`
+
+Total venv size: **>500 MB**.
+
+By contrast, Huey is **one package** (`huey`) with zero required services.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Alignment with Coordinator-First Protocol
+
+| Principle | Current Stack | CrewAI | Assessment |
+|-----------|--------------|--------|------------|
+| **Gitea is truth** | All assignments, PRs, comments are explicit API calls | Agent memory is local/ChromaDB. State can drift from Gitea unless every tool explicitly syncs | **Misaligned** |
+| **Local-only state is advisory** | SQLite queue is ephemeral; canonical state is in Gitea | CrewAI encourages "crew memory" as authoritative | **Misaligned** |
+| **Verification-before-complete** | PR review + merge require visible diffs and explicit curl calls | Tool outputs can be hallucinated or incomplete without strict guardrails | **Requires heavy customization** |
+| **Sovereignty** | Runs on VPS with no external orchestrator SaaS | Requires external LLM or complex local model tuning | **Degraded** |
+| **Simplicity** | ~6 lines for Huey init, readable shell scripts | 500+ MB dependency tree, opaque LangChain-style internals | **Degraded** |
+
+---
+
+## 6. Verdict
+
+**REJECT CrewAI for Phase 2 integration.**
+
+**Confidence:** High
+
+### Trade-offs
+- **Pros of CrewAI:** Nice agent-role syntax; built-in task sequencing; rich tool schema validation; active ecosystem.
+- **Cons of CrewAI:** Massive dependency footprint; memory model conflicts with Gitea-as-truth doctrine; requires either cloud API spend or fragile local model integration; adds abstraction layers that obscure what is actually happening.
+
+### Risks if adopted
+1. **Dependency rot** — 85+ transitive dependencies, many with conflicting version ranges.
+2. **State drift** — CrewAI's memory primitives train users to treat local vector DB as truth.
+3. **Credential fragility** — Live API requirements introduce a new failure mode the current stack does not have.
+4. **Vendor-like lock-in** — CrewAI's abstractions sit thickly over LangChain. Debugging a stuck crew is harder than debugging a Huey task traceback.
+
+### Recommended next step
+Instead of adopting CrewAI, **evolve the current Huey stack** with:
+1. A lightweight `Agent` dataclass in `tasks.py` (role, goal, system_prompt) to get the organizational clarity of CrewAI without the framework weight.
+2. A `delegate()` helper that uses Hermes's existing `delegate_tool.py` for multi-agent work.
+3. Keep Gitea as the only durable state surface. Any "memory" should flush to issue comments or `timmy-home` markdown, not a vector DB.
+
+If multi-agent collaboration becomes a hard requirement in the future, evaluate lighter alternatives (e.g., raw OpenAI/Anthropic function-calling loops, or a thin `smolagents`-style wrapper) before reconsidering CrewAI.

+## Fleet Resources (Paperclips Model)
+
+Three primary resources govern the fleet:
+
+| Resource | Role | Generation | Consumption |
+|----------|------|-----------|-------------|
+| **Capacity** | Compute hours available across fleet. Determines what work can be done. | Through healthy utilization of VPS/Mac agents | Fleet improvements consume it (investing in automation, orchestration, sovereignty) |
+| **Uptime** | % time services are running. Earned at Fibonacci milestones. | When services stay up naturally | Degrades on any failure |
+| **Innovation** | Only generates when capacity is <70% utilized. Fuels Phase 3+. | When you leave capacity free | Phase 3+ buildings consume it (requires spare capacity to build) |
+
+### The Tension
+- Run fleet at 95%+ capacity: maximum productivity, ZERO Innovation
+- Run fleet at <70% capacity: Innovation generates but slower progress
+- This forces the Paperclips question: optimize now or invest in future capability?
+
+---
+
+## VPS Resource Baselines
+
+### Ezra (143.198.27.163) - "Forge"
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-106-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 4 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Load: 10.76/7.59/7.04 (very high) |
+| **RAM** | 7,941 MB total | 2,104 used / 5,836 available (26% used, 74% free) |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB vda1 | 111 GB used / 44 GB free (72%) **WARNING** |
+| **Swap** | 6,143 MB | 643 MB used (10%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Gitea | 556 MB | 83.5% | Web service, high CPU due to API load |
+| MemPalace (ezra) | 268 MB | 136% | Mining project files - HIGH CPU |
+| Hermes gateway (ezra) | 245 MB | 1.7% | Agent gateway |
+| Ollama | 230 MB | 0.1% | Model serving |
+| PostgreSQL | 138 MB | ~0% | Gitea database |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 26% memory used, but 72% disk is getting tight. CPU load is very high (10.76 on 4vCPU = 269% utilization). Ezra is CPU-bound, not RAM-bound.
+
+### Allegro (167.99.126.228)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-106-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 4 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Moderate load |
+| **RAM** | 7,941 MB total | 1,591 used / 6,349 available (20% used, 80% free) |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB vda1 | 41 GB used / 114 GB free (27%) **GOOD** |
+| **Swap** | 8,191 MB | 686 MB used (8%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway (allegro) | 680 MB | 0.9% | Main agent gateway |
+| Gitea | 181 MB | 1.2% | Secondary gitea? |
+| Systemd-journald | 160 MB | 0.0% | System logging |
+| Ezra Hermes gateway | 58 MB | 0.0% | Running ezra agent here |
+| Bezalel Hermes gateway | 58 MB | 0.0% | Running bezalel agent here |
+| Dockerd | 48 MB | 0.0% | Docker daemon |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 20% memory used, 27% disk used. Allegro has headroom. Also running hermes gateways for Ezra and Bezalel (cross-host agent execution).
+
+### Bezalel (159.203.146.185)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | Ubuntu 24.04 (6.8.0-71-generic) | |
+| **vCPU** | 2 vCPU (DO basic droplet, shared) | Load varies |
+| **RAM** | 1,968 MB total | 817 used / 1,151 available (42% used, 58% free) |
+| **Disk** | 48 GB vda1 | 12 GB used / 37 GB free (24%) **GOOD** |
+| **Swap** | 2,047 MB | 448 MB used (22%) |
+| **Uptime** | 7 days, 18 hours | |
+
+### Key Processes (sorted by memory)
+| Process | RSS | %CPU | Notes |
+|---------|-----|------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway | 339 MB | 7.7% | Agent gateway (16.8% of RAM) |
+| uv pip install | 137 MB | 56.6% | Installing packages (temporary) |
+| Mender | 27 MB | 0.0% | Device management |
+
+**Capacity assessment:** 42% memory used, only 2GB total RAM. Bezalel is the most constrained. 2 vCPU means less compute headroom than Ezra/Allegro. Disk is fine.
+
+### Mac Local (M3 Max)
+
+| Metric | Value | Utilization |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **OS** | macOS 26.3.1 | |
+| **CPU** | Apple M3 Max (14 cores) | Very capable |
+| **RAM** | 36 GB | ~8 GB used (22%) |
+| **Disk** | 926 GB total | ~624 GB used / 302 GB free (68%) |
+
+### Key Processes
+| Process | Memory | Notes |
+|---------|--------|-------|
+| Hermes gateway | 500 MB | Primary gateway |
+| Hermes agents (x3) | ~560 MB total | Multiple sessions |
+| Ollama | ~20 MB base + model memory | Model loading varies |
+| OpenClaw | 350 MB | Gateway process |
+| Evennia (server+portal) | 56 MB | Game world |
+
+---
+
+## Resource Summary
+
+| Resource | Ezra | Allegro | Bezalel | Mac Local | TOTAL |
+|----------|------|---------|---------|-----------|-------|
+| **vCPU** | 4 | 4 | 2 | 14 (M3 Max) | 24 |
+| **RAM** | 8 GB (26% used) | 8 GB (20% used) | 2 GB (42% used) | 36 GB (22% used) | 54 GB |
+| **Disk** | 154 GB (72%) | 154 GB (27%) | 48 GB (24%) | 926 GB (68%) | 1,282 GB |
+| **Cost** | $12/mo | $12/mo | $12/mo | owned | $36/mo |
+
+### Utilization by Category
+| Category | Estimated Daily Hours | % of Fleet Capacity |
+|----------|----------------------|---------------------|
+| Hermes agents | ~3-4 hrs active | 5-7% |
+| Ollama inference | ~1-2 hrs | 2-4% |
+| Gitea services | 24/7 | 5-10% |
+| Evennia | 24/7 | <1% |
+| Idle | ~18-20 hrs | ~80-90% |
+
+### Capacity Utilization: ~15-20% active
+**Innovation rate:** GENERATING (capacity < 70%)
+**Recommendation:** Good — Innovation is generating because most capacity is free.
+This means Phase 3+ capabilities (orchestration, load balancing, etc.) are accessible NOW.
+
+---
+
+## Uptime Baseline
+
+**Baseline period:** 2026-04-07 14:00-16:00 UTC (2 hours, ~24 checks at 5-min intervals)
+
+| Service | Checks | Uptime | Status |
+|---------|--------|--------|--------|
+| Ezra | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Allegro | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Bezalel | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Gitea | 23/24 | 95.8% | GOOD |
+| Hermes Gateway | 23/24 | 95.8% | GOOD |
+| Ollama | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| OpenClaw | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Evennia | 24/24 | 100.0% | GOOD |
+| Hermes Agent | 21/24 | 87.5% | **CHECK** |
+
+### Fibonacci Uptime Milestones
+| Milestone | Target | Current | Status |
+|-----------|--------|---------|--------|
+| 95% | 95% | 100% (VPS), 98.6% (avg) | REACHED |
+| 95.5% | 95.5% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 96% | 96% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 97% | 97% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 98% | 98% | 98.6% | REACHED |
+| 99% | 99% | 98.6% | APPROACHING |
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment
+
+| Risk | Severity | Mitigation |
+|------|----------|------------|
+| Ezra disk 72% used | MEDIUM | Move non-essential data, add monitoring alert at 85% |
+| Bezalel only 2GB RAM | HIGH | Cannot run large models locally. Good for Evennia, tight for agents |
+| Ezra CPU load 269% | HIGH | MemPalace mining consuming 136% CPU. Consider scheduling |
+| Mac disk 68% used | MEDIUM | 302 GB free still. Growing but not urgent |
+| No cross-VPS mesh | LOW | SSH works but no Tailscale. No private network between VPSes |
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate (Phase 1-2)
+1. **Ezra disk cleanup:** 44 GB free at 72%. Docker images, old logs, and MemPalace mine data could be rotated.
+2. **Alert thresholds:** Add disk alerts at 85% (Ezra, Mac) before they become critical.
+
+### Short-term (Phase 3)
+3. **Load balancing:** Ezra is CPU-bound, Allegro has 80% RAM free. Move some agent processes from Ezra to Allegro.
+4. **Innovation investment:** Since fleet is at 15-20% utilization, Innovation is high. This is the time to build Phase 3 capabilities.
+
+### Medium-term (Phase 4)
+5. **Bezalel RAM upgrade:** 2GB is tight. Consider upgrade to 4GB ($24/mo instead of $12/mo).
+6. **Tailscale mesh:** Install on all VPSes for private inter-VPS network.

+# Fleet Milestone Messages
+
+Every milestone marks passage through fleet evolution. When achieved, the message
+prints to the fleet log. Each one references a real achievement, not abstract numbers.
+
+**Source:** Inspired by Paperclips milestone messages (500 clips, 1000 clips, Full autonomy attained, etc.)
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Survival (Current)
+
+### M1: First Automated Health Check
+**Trigger:** `fleet/health_check.py` runs successfully for the first time.
+**Message:** "First automated health check runs. No longer watching the clock."
+
+### M2: First Auto-Restart
+**Trigger:** A dead process is detected and restarted without human intervention.
+**Message:** "A process failed at 3am and restarted itself. You found out in the morning."
+
+### M3: First Backup Completed
+**Trigger:** A backup pipeline runs end-to-end and verifies integrity.
+**Message:** "A backup completed. You did not have to think about it."
+
+### M4: 95% Uptime (30 days)
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 95% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "95% uptime over 30 days. The fleet stays up."
+
+### M5: Uptime 97%
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 97% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "97% uptime. Three nines of availability across four machines."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Automation (unlock when: uptime >= 95% + capacity > 60%)
+
+### M6: Zero Manual Restarts (7 days)
+**Trigger:** 7 consecutive days with zero manual process restarts.
+**Message:** "Seven days. Zero manual restarts. The fleet heals itself."
+
+### M7: PR Auto-Merged
+**Trigger:** A PR passes CI, review, and merges without human touching it.
+**Message:** "A PR was tested, reviewed, and merged by agents. You just said 'looks good.'"
+
+### M8: Config Push Works
+**Trigger:** Config change pushed to all 3 VPSes atomically and verified.
+**Message:** "Config pushed to all three VPSes in one command. No SSH needed."
+
+### M9: 98% Uptime
+**Trigger:** Uptime >= 98% over last 30 days.
+**Message:** "98% uptime. Only 14 hours of downtime in a month. Most of it planned."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Orchestration (unlock when: all Phase 2 buildings + Innovation > 100)
+
+### M10: Cross-Agent Delegation Works
+**Trigger:** Agent A creates issue, assigns to Agent B, Agent B works and creates PR.
+**Message:** "Agent Alpha created a task, Agent Beta completed it. They did not ask permission."
+
+### M11: First Model Running Locally on 2+ Machines
+**Trigger:** Ollama serving same model on Ezra and Allegro simultaneously.
+**Message:** "A model runs on two machines at once. No cloud. No rate limits."
+
+### M12: Fleet-Wide Burn Mode
+**Trigger:** All agents coordinated on single epic, produced coordinated PRs.
+**Message:** "All agents working the same epic. The fleet moves as one."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Sovereignty (unlock when: zero cloud deps for core ops)
+
+### M13: First Entirely Local Inference Day
+**Trigger:** 24 hours with zero API calls to external providers.
+**Message:** "A model ran locally for the first time. No cloud. No rate limits. No one can turn it off."
+
+### M14: Sovereign Email
+**Trigger:** Stalwart email server sends and receives without Gmail relay.
+**Message:** "Email flows through our own server. No Google. No Microsoft. Ours."
+
+### M15: Sovereign Messaging
+**Trigger:** Telegram bot runs without cloud relay dependency.
+**Message:** "Messages arrive through our own infrastructure. No corporate middleman."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Scale (unlock when: sovereignty stable + Innovation > 500)
+
+### M16: First Self-Spawned Agent
+**Trigger:** Agent lifecycle manager spawns a new agent instance due to load.
+**Message:** "A new agent appeared. You did not create it. The fleet built what it needed."
+
+### M17: Agent Retired Gracefully
+**Trigger:** An agent instance retires after idle timeout and cleans up its state.
+**Message:** "An agent retired. It served its purpose. Nothing was lost."
+
+### M18: Fleet Runs 24h Unattended
+**Trigger:** 24 hours with zero human intervention of any kind.
+**Message:** "A full day. No humans. No commands. The fleet runs itself."
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: The Network (unlock when: 7 days zero human intervention)
+
+### M19: Fleet Creates Its Own Improvement Task
+**Trigger:** Fleet analyzes itself and creates an issue on Gitea.
+**Message:** "The fleet found something to improve. It created the task itself."
+
+### M20: First Outside Contribution
+**Trigger:** An external contributor's PR is reviewed and merged by fleet agents.
+**Message:** "Someone outside the fleet contributed. The fleet reviewed, tested, and merged. No human touched it."
+
+### M21: The Beacon
+**Trigger:** Infrastructure serves someone in need through automated systems.
+**Message:** "Someone found the Beacon. In the dark, looking for help. The infrastructure served its purpose. It was built for this."
+
+### M22: Permanent Light
+**Trigger:** 90 days of autonomous operation with continuous availability.
+**Message:** "Three months. The light never went out. Not for anyone."
+
+---
+
+## Fibonacci Uptime Milestones
+
+These trigger regardless of phase, based purely on uptime percentage:
+
+| Milestone | Uptime | Meaning |
+|-----------|--------|--------|
+| U1 | 95% | Basic reliability achieved |
+| U2 | 95.5% | Fewer than 16 hours/month downtime |
+| U3 | 96% | Fewer than 12 hours/month |
+| U4 | 97% | Fewer than 9 hours/month |
+| U5 | 97.5% | Fewer than 7 hours/month |
+| U6 | 98% | Fewer than 4.5 hours/month |
+| U7 | 98.3% | Fewer than 3 hours/month |
+| U8 | 98.6% | Less than 2.5 hours/month — approaching cloud tier |
+| U9 | 98.9% | Less than 1.5 hours/month |
+| U10 | 99% | Less than 1 hour/month — enterprise grade |
+| U11 | 99.5% | Less than 22 minutes/month |

+  \ RCA, operating history, memory consolidation, onboarding docs, and archival clean-up\n   - KimiClaw: long-context reading,\
+  \ extraction, digestion, and codebase synthesis before a build phase\n   - codex-agent: cleanup, migration verification,\
+  \ dead-code removal, repo-boundary enforcement, workflow hardening\n   - groq: bounded implementation, tactical bug fixes,\

-  REPOS: {{repos}}
-
-  FOR EACH OPEN PR:
-  1. Check CI status (Actions tab or commit status API)
-  2. Read the linked issue or PR body to verify the intended scope before judging the diff
-  3. Review the diff for:
-     - Correctness: does it do what the issue asked?
-     - Security: no secrets, unsafe execution paths, or permission drift
-     - Tests and verification: does the author prove the change?
-     - Scope: PR should match the issue, not scope-creep
-     - Governance: does the change cross a boundary that should stay under Timmy review?
-     - Workflow fit: does it reduce drift, duplication, or hidden operational risk?
-  4. Post findings ordered by severity and cite the affected files or behavior clearly
-  5. If CI fails or verification is missing: explain what is blocking merge
-  6. If PR is behind main: request a rebase or re-run only when needed; do not force churn for cosmetic reasons
-  7. If review is clean and the PR is low-risk: squash merge
-
-  LOW-RISK AUTO-MERGE ONLY IF ALL ARE TRUE:
-  - PR is not a draft
-  - CI is green or the repo has no CI configured
-  - Diff matches the stated issue or PR scope
-  - No unresolved review findings remain
-  - Change is narrow, reversible, and non-governing
-  - Paths changed do not include sensitive control surfaces
-

-  - SOUL.md
-  - config.yaml
-  - deploy.sh
-  - tasks.py
-  - playbooks/
-  - cron/
-  - memories/
-  - skins/
-  - training/
-  - authentication, permissions, or secret-handling code
-  - repo-boundary, model-routing, or deployment-governance changes
-
-  NEVER AUTO-MERGE:
-  - PRs that change sensitive control surfaces
-  - PRs that change more than 5 files unless the change is docs-only
-  - PRs without a clear problem statement or verification
-  - PRs that look like duplicate work, speculative research, or scope creep
-  - PRs that need Timmy or Allegro judgment on architecture, dispatch, or release impact
-  - PRs that are stale solely because of age; do not close them automatically
-
-  If a PR is stale, nudge with a comment and summarize what still blocks it. Do not close it just because 48 hours passed.

-  MERGE RULES:
-  - ONLY squash merge. Never merge commits. Never rebase merge.
-  - Delete branch after merge.
-  - Empty PRs (0 changed files): close immediately with a brief explanation.
