  • Gemini loop fixed (same bugs)
  • Agent-loop.sh repos expanded (was 2 repos, now 4)
  • doctl installed on Mac
  • Burn monitor cron running (every 30 min to Telegram)

Progressed (still open):


BEZALEL RESURRECTION

  • Spec: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 48GB disk, Ubuntu 24.04, $12/mo
  • hermes-bezalel.service: ACTIVE
  • SSL: https://bezalel.alexanderwhitestone.com/health -> OK

BURN NIGHT RESULTS

Claude (fired after 11 successes): Not used after Alexander's directive.

Active lanes overnight:

  • Groq/Aider (1 worker) — processing issues, completed #168
  • Gemini (2 workers) — rate limited but retrying, got 1 success

Dead lanes (and why):

  • XAI/Grok — API key invalid, needs new key from console.x.ai
  • Claude — fired per Alexander's directive
  • Anthropic API — sk-ant-oat token is rate-limited (OAuth token, not real API key)

LOCAL INFERENCE — SOVEREIGNTY SPRINT

Working:

  • Gemma4: 33.8 tok/s, tool-use confirmed, 9.6GB
  • Hermes3:8b: 45.0 tok/s, 4.7GB
  • Hermes4:14b: 22.5 tok/s, 9.0GB
  • All on M3 Max with flash attention + q8_0 KV cache

Blocked:

  • hermes-agent #169: "ollama" not a registered provider
  • Agent harness can't route to local models despite them working perfectly
  • This is THE sovereignty blocker. ~50 lines of Python to fix.

SKILLS SAVED (3 new)

  • vps-wizard-provisioning — full droplet-to-running-wizard playbook
  • cross-audit-and-triage — fleet audit with gap analysis
  • agent-loop-debugging — diagnose and fix dead loops

DECISIONS NEEDED FROM ALEXANDER

  1. #285 — Which stopped services to permanently remove vs re-enable on Hermes VPS? (LNbits, Paperclip, auth-gate, SearXNG currently stopped)
  2. XAI API key — Need fresh key from console.x.ai to restore Grok lane
  3. Anthropic API key — Current key is an OAuth token (sk-ant-oat) with severe rate limits. Need a real Console API key (sk-ant-api) for Claw Code
  4. hermes-agent #169 — Priority for local provider support? This unblocks the entire sovereignty story

FLEET STATUS (as of sleep time)

Hermes VPS (143.198.27.163):   Ezra ✓  Allegro-Primus ✓  (leaner after cleanup)
Allegro VPS (167.99.126.228):  Allegro ✓  Adagio ✓  (SSH restored)
Bezalel VPS (159.203.146.185): Bezalel ✓  (NEW — gateway + SSL active)
Local Mac:                     Groq loop running, Gemini loop running
