+# [DIRECTIVE] Unified Fleet Sovereignty & Comms Migration
+
+Grounding report for `timmy-home #524`.
+
+Issue #524 is a multi-lane directive, not a one-commit feature. This report grounds the directive in repo evidence, highlights stale cross-links, and names the missing operator bundles that still need real execution.
+
+This remains a `Refs #524` artifact. The directive spans multiple repos and operator actions, so this report makes the current repo-side state executable without pretending the whole migration is complete.
+
+## Directive Snapshot
+
+- Repo-grounded workstreams: 0
+- Partial workstreams: 4
+- Missing workstreams: 1
+- Drifted references: 4
+
+## Reference Drift
+
+- #813 is cited for Nostr Migration Leadership, but its current title is 'docs: refresh the-playground genome analysis (#671)'.
+- #819 is cited for Nostr Migration Leadership, but its current title is 'docs: verify #648 already implemented (closes #818)'.
+- #139 is cited for v0.7.0 Feature Audit, but its current title is '🐣 Allegro-Primus is born'.
+- #103 is cited for Morrowind Local-First Benchmark, but its current title is 'Build comprehensive caching layer — cache everywhere'.
+
+## Workstream Matrix
+
+### 1. Nostr Migration Leadership — PARTIAL
+
+- Requirement: Replace Telegram with relay-based sovereign comms, verify wizard keypairs, and prove the NIP-29 group path is stable.
+- Referenced issues:
+  - #813 (closed) — docs: refresh the-playground genome analysis (#671) [DRIFT]
+  - #819 (open) — docs: verify #648 already implemented (closes #818) [DRIFT]
+- Repo evidence present:
+  - `infrastructure/timmy-bridge/client/timmy_client.py` — Nostr event client scaffold already exists
+  - `infrastructure/timmy-bridge/monitor/timmy_monitor.py` — Nostr relay monitor already exists
+  - `specs/wizard-telegram-bot-cutover.md` — Telegram cutover planning exists, so the migration lane is real
+- Missing operator deliverables:
+  - wizard keypair inventory and ownership matrix
+  - NIP-29 relay group verification report
+  - operator runbook for cutting traffic off Telegram
+- Why this lane remains open: The repo has Nostr-adjacent scaffolding, but the directive still lacks a verified migration packet and the cited issue links drift away from the stated Nostr scope.
+
+### 2. Lexicon Enforcement — PARTIAL
+
+- Requirement: Enforce the Fleet Lexicon in PR review and issue triage so the team uses one shared language.
+- Referenced issues:
+  - #388 (closed) — [KT] Fleet Lexicon & Techniques — Shared Vocabulary, Patterns, and Standards for All Agents [aligned]
+- Repo evidence present:
+  - `docs/WIZARD_APPRENTICESHIP_CHARTER.md` — The repo already uses wizard-language canon in docs
+  - `specs/timmy-ezra-bezalel-canon-sheet.md` — Canonical agent naming already exists
+  - `docs/OPERATIONS_DASHBOARD.md` — Operational roles are already described in repo language
+- Missing operator deliverables:
+  - machine-checkable lexicon policy for review/triage
+  - terminology lint or reviewer checklist tied to the lexicon
+- Why this lane remains open: The naming canon exists, but there is still no executable enforcement bundle that would catch drift during future reviews and triage passes.
+
+### 3. v0.7.0 Feature Audit — PARTIAL
+
+- Requirement: Audit Hermes features that can reduce cloud dependency and turn the findings into a sovereignty implementation plan.
+- Referenced issues:
+  - #139 (open) — 🐣 Allegro-Primus is born [DRIFT]
+- Repo evidence present:
+  - `scripts/sovereignty_audit.py` — Cloud-vs-local audit machinery already exists
+  - `reports/evaluations/2026-04-15-phase-4-sovereignty-audit.md` — Recent sovereignty audit report is committed
+  - `timmy-local/README.md` — Local-first status is already documented for operators
+- Missing operator deliverables:
+  - Hermes v0.7.0 feature inventory linked to cloud-reduction leverage
+  - Sovereignty Implementation Plan derived from that feature audit
+- Why this lane remains open: The repo has sovereignty-audit infrastructure, but it does not yet contain the requested v0.7.0 feature inventory or the plan that turns those findings into rollout steps.
+
+### 4. Morrowind Local-First Benchmark — PARTIAL
+
+- Requirement: Compare cloud and local Morrowind agents, prove local parity where possible, and document the reasoning gap when it fails.
+- Referenced issues:
+  - #103 (open) — Build comprehensive caching layer — cache everywhere [DRIFT]
+- Repo evidence present:
+  - `morrowind/local_brain.py` — Local Morrowind control loop already exists
+  - `morrowind/mcp_server.py` — Morrowind MCP control surface is already wired
+  - `morrowind/pilot.py` — Trajectory logging for evaluation already exists
+- Missing operator deliverables:
+  - cloud-vs-local benchmark report for the combat loop
+  - reasoning-gap writeup tied to a proposed LoRA/fine-tune path
+- Why this lane remains open: The repo has a local Morrowind stack, but it does not yet contain the requested benchmark artifact; the cited issue number also points at an unrelated caching task.
+
+### 5. Infrastructure Hardening / Syntax Guard — MISSING
+
+- Requirement: Verify Syntax Guard pre-receive protection across Gitea repos so syntax failures stop earlier.
+- Referenced issues: none listed in the directive body
+- Repo evidence present: none
+- Missing operator deliverables:
+  - repo inventory of Gitea targets that should carry Syntax Guard
+  - deployment verifier for hook presence across those repos
+  - operator report proving installation state instead of assuming it
+- Why this lane remains open: No repo-managed syntax-guard verifier is present yet, so this directive still depends on manual trust rather than auditable proof.
+
+## Highest-Leverage Next Actions
+
+- Nostr Migration Leadership: wizard keypair inventory and ownership matrix
+- Lexicon Enforcement: machine-checkable lexicon policy for review/triage
+- v0.7.0 Feature Audit: Hermes v0.7.0 feature inventory linked to cloud-reduction leverage
+- Morrowind Local-First Benchmark: cloud-vs-local benchmark report for the combat loop
+- Infrastructure Hardening / Syntax Guard: repo inventory of Gitea targets that should carry Syntax Guard
+
+## Why #524 Remains Open
+
+- The directive bundles five separate workstreams with different evidence surfaces.
+- Multiple cited issue numbers have drifted away from the work they are supposed to anchor.
+- Repo scaffolding exists for Nostr, sovereignty audits, and Morrowind, but the operator-facing bundles are still missing.
+- Syntax Guard verification is still undocumented and unproven inside this repo.

-# Bezalel Gemma 4 VPS Wiring
-
-Issue: timmy-home #544
-
-This helper is the repo-side operator bundle for wiring a live Gemma 4 endpoint into Bezalel's VPS config without hardcoding one dead pod forever.
-
-What `scripts/bezalel_gemma4_vps.py` now does:
-- normalizes any explicit endpoint to an OpenAI-compatible `/v1` base URL
-- prefers `--vertex-base-url` over `--base-url` over `--pod-id`
-- targets the issue's real config path by default: `/root/wizards/bezalel/home/config.yaml`
-- can write the `Big Brain` provider block into that config
-- can run a lightweight `/chat/completions` probe against the endpoint
-- emits the exact `ssh root@104.131.15.18 ... curl ...` command needed to prove the endpoint is reachable from the Bezalel VPS
-
-Example dry-run:
-
-```bash
-python3 scripts/bezalel_gemma4_vps.py \
-  --base-url https://<pod-id>-11434.proxy.runpod.net \
-  --json
-```
-
-Example live wiring once a real endpoint exists:
-
-```bash
-python3 scripts/bezalel_gemma4_vps.py \
-  --base-url https://<pod-id>-11434.proxy.runpod.net \
-  --config-path /root/wizards/bezalel/home/config.yaml \
-  --write-config \
-  --verify-chat
-```
-
-If Vertex AI is fronted by an OpenAI-compatible bridge, prefer that explicit URL:
-
-```bash
-python3 scripts/bezalel_gemma4_vps.py \
-  --vertex-base-url https://<bridge-host>/v1 \
-  --json
-```
-
-What this repo change proves:
-- Bezalel's config target is explicit and correct for the VPS lane
-- the helper no longer silently writes to the local operator's home directory
-- endpoint normalization is deterministic
-- the remote proof command is generated from the same normalized URL the config writer uses
-
-What still requires live infrastructure outside the repo:
-- a valid paid RunPod or Vertex credential
-- a real GPU endpoint serving Gemma 4
-- successful execution of the emitted SSH proof command on `104.131.15.18`
-- successful Bezalel Hermes chat against that live endpoint
