feat(ansible): Canonical IaC playbook for fleet management

Implements the Ansible Infrastructure as Code story from KT 2026-04-08.

One canonical Ansible playbook defines:
- Deadman switch (snapshot good config on health, rollback+restart on death)
- Golden state config deployment (Anthropic BANNED, Kimi→Gemini→Ollama)
- Cron schedule (source-controlled, no manual crontab edits)
- Agent startup sequence (pull→validate→start→verify)
- request_log telemetry table (every inference call logged)
- Thin config pattern (immutable local pointer to upstream)
- Gitea webhook handler (deploy on merge)
- Config validator (rejects banned providers)

Fleet inventory: Timmy (Mac), Allegro (VPS), Bezalel (VPS), Ezra (VPS)

Roles: wizard_base, golden_state, deadman_switch, request_log, cron_manager

Addresses: timmy-config #442, #443, #444, #445, #446

+
+> 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.
+
+## Architecture

+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# 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.

+# 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 |

+# 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.

+# 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
+```
