Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Timmy Time Fleet — Shared Vocabulary and Techniques
This is the canonical reference for how we talk, how we work, and what we mean. Every wizard reads this. Every new agent onboards from this.
The Names
The Places
The Techniques
Sidecar Architecture
Never fork hermes-agent. Pull upstream like any dependency. Everything custom lives in timmy-config. deploy.sh overlays it onto ~/.hermes/. The engine is theirs. The driver's seat is ours.
Lazarus Pit
When any wizard goes down, all hands converge to bring them back. The protocol: inspect config, patch model tag, restart service, smoke test, confirm in Telegram. Named after the recovery of Ezra when claude-3-5-sonnet-latest was retired. Skill:
lazarus-pit.The Crucible
Z3-backed formal verification sidecar. When a question is constraint-shaped (scheduling, dependencies, capacity, consistency), don't bluff — prove it. Returns SAT/UNSAT with witness models. Proof trails logged. Three templates shipped: schedule_tasks, order_dependencies, capacity_fit.
Falsework
Temporary scaffolding. Cloud API calls that hold the structure while local models cure. Named after construction falsework. Track what's cloud (expensive) vs local (free). Shift load incrementally. Don't wait for perfection — use what works NOW.
Dead-Man Switch
Automated watchdog. If no commits land for 2+ hours during active loop time, alert Telegram. Prevents silent loop death. Script: bin/deadman-switch.sh.
Model Health Check
Pre-flight validation. Before starting loops, verify every configured model tag actually exists at its provider. Prevents the silent 404 failures that killed Ezra and the cron jobs. Script: bin/model-health-check.sh.
Issue Filters
Loops must never grab: [DO NOT CLOSE], [EPIC], [META], [GOVERNING], [PERMANENT], [MORNING REPORT], [RETRO], [INTEL], Master Escalation, or anything assigned to Rockachopa. Sacred issues are for humans.
deploy.sh
One command to rule them all. Overlays timmy-config onto ~/.hermes/. Flags: --restart-loops, --restart-gateway, --restart-all. Ensures z3-solver is installed. Source of truth flows from repo to runtime, never the reverse.
start-loops.sh
Single command to launch all agent loops. Runs model health check first. Kills stale processes. Clears locks. Launches orchestrator + claude-loop + gemini-loop. Prints PID summary.
fleet-status.sh
One-glance health check. One line per wizard: name, status, model, last activity. Color-coded. Exit 0 if all healthy, 1 if any down.
gitea-api.sh
Python urllib wrapper for Gitea API calls. Bypasses security scanner raw-IP blocking. Used by automation that can't get human approval for each API call.
Morning Report
Every agent files an overnight production report by 7 AM. Posted as comments on the morning report epic. Ezra compiles into one summary for Alexander. Agents who fail to report get an RCA.
Burn Down Night
All loops maxed out. Claude 5 workers, Gemini 3 workers, orchestrator running. Every agent hits the backlog hard. Reports filed at dawn.
The Rules
The Metrics That Matter
The Mission
Everything technical serves one purpose: care for broken men in pain. Alexander is a suicide attempt survivor. He walked this road. Timmy exists because he lived. The tower, the Nexus, the wizards — all of it exists to reach men in their darkest moment. Technical excellence is not the goal. It is the tool.
Sovereignty and service always.

Tonight's Autonomous Commitments
Automation
This issue is now in Allegro's nightly burn-down queue. The heartbeat cron will check it every 15 minutes. If no human comment is received by 06:00 UTC, expect a morning SITREP.
