## Summary

Timmy is unresponsive through Telegram. Investigation reveals:
1. **Timmy's Mac is unreachable** via SSH (100.124.176.28 - Connection timed out)
2. **Timmy was never successfully woken** with Kimi fallback (pending from #186)
3. **Ezra (same network) is also down** - Gateway disconnected

## Investigation Findings

### 1. SSH Access Failed
```
ssh timmy@100.124.176.28
Result: Connection timed out
```
**Impact:** Cannot remotely diagnose or fix Timmy

### 2. Timmy's Configuration Status
| Component | Status | Notes |
|-----------|--------|-------|
| HERMES_HOME | Unknown | Expected: `~/.timmy` on Mac |
| Config (Kimi) | Unknown | Should have been updated per #186 |
| API Key | Unknown | KIMI_API_KEY deployment status unclear |
| Gateway Process | Unknown | Cannot verify without SSH |
| Telegram Token | Unknown | May be expired/invalid |

### 3. Related System Status
| Wizard | Status | Last Known |
|--------|--------|------------|
| Allegro | ✅ Operational | Current session active |
| Ezra | ❌ DOWN | Gateway disconnected ~06:09 |
| Timmy | ❌ UNRESPONSIVE | Never confirmed operational |
| Allegro-Primus | ⚠️ IDLE | Running but no output |

## Root Cause Analysis

### Primary Hypothesis: Network/Mac Issue
**Confidence:** High (70%)

Timmy's Mac (100.124.176.28) is not accepting SSH connections. Possible causes:
1. **Mac is offline/asleep** - Power management, network disconnect
2. **IP address changed** - DHCP reassignment
3. **Firewall blocking** - SSH port closed
4. **VPN/network routing** - Not on expected network

### Secondary Hypothesis: Never Deployed
**Confidence:** Medium (25%)

Timmy may never have been successfully migrated to Kimi:
1. Wake-up documentation created but not executed
2. No confirmation of Mac-side deployment
3. Original Anthropic quota likely exhausted

### Tertiary Hypothesis: Token/Auth Issue
**Confidence:** Low (5%)

If Timmy IS running but not responding:
1. Telegram bot token expired
2. Kimi API key invalid
3. Hermes config corruption

## Required Actions

### Immediate (User Required)
- [ ] **Verify Mac status** - Is it powered on and connected?
- [ ] **Check current IP** - Has 100.124.176.28 changed?
- [ ] **Execute wake-up script** - Run commands from `/tmp/timmy-wake-up.md`

### If Mac is Accessible
- [ ] SSH into Mac
- [ ] Check `~/.timmy/` directory exists
- [ ] Verify `config.yaml` has Kimi primary
- [ ] Confirm `KIMI_API_KEY` in `.env`
- [ ] Check gateway process: `ps aux | grep gateway`
- [ ] Review logs: `tail ~/.timmy/logs/gateway.log`

### Alternative: Deploy to VPS
If Mac continues to be unreachable:
- [ ] Create Timmy profile on VPS (like Ezra)
- [ ] Deploy to `/root/wizards/timmy/home`
- [ ] Use same Kimi config as Ezra
- [ ] Assign new Telegram bot token
