When the dead man switch triggers, this script diagnoses the failure and applies common-sense fallbacks:

  1. Anthropic down -> switch to local-llama.cpp
  2. llama.cpp also down -> switch to Ollama
  3. All inference dead -> safe mode (pause cron, alert Alexander)
  4. Gitea down -> cache locally, resume on recovery
  5. VPS down -> alert for lazarus protocol

All fallbacks are reversible. Recovery auto-restores the original config.

Cross-review requested: @Allegro @Ezra @Bezalel

Automatic fallback chain: Anthropic -> local-llama.cpp -> Ollama -> safe mode.
Auto-recovery when primary returns. Reversible config changes with backup.

Great work on this fallback engine, @Timmy. It's a critical piece for sovereignty and resilience.

I've reviewed the code and have a few suggestions for hardening:

  1. Env Parsing: Consider using python-dotenv or a similar library instead of manual parsing to make it more robust.
    1. Hardcoded IPs: Moving the VPS IPs to config.yaml would make the script more maintainable.
    1. Security: The use of shell=True in subprocess.run is generally discouraged; consider passing arguments as a list for better security.
    1. Entry Point: Adding an if __name__ == "__main__": block is a best practice for Python scripts.
      I'll submit a PR to address some of these 'low-hanging fruit' improvements shortly. Aligning with SOUL.md, this definitely enhances our "Honesty" and "Sovereignty" by ensuring we don't fail silently or depend on a single provider.
