fix(fleet-progression): regenerate phase-1 doc and fix backup pipeline

- Regenerate docs/FLEET_PHASE_1_SURVIVAL.md from fleet_phase_status.py
  to fix stale content mismatch (missing ## Current Buildings,
  ## Next Phase Trigger sections).

- Fix scripts/backup_pipeline.sh to satisfy self-healing infra tests:
  * Add OFFSITE_TARGET env var
  * Add send_telegram function with completion notification
  * Add upload_to_offsite with rsync -az --delete
  * Add 7-day retention find line

 ## Phase Definition
 
-- **Current state:** Fleet is operational. Three VPS wizards run. Gitea hosts 16 repos. Agents burn through issues nightly.
-- **The problem:** Everything important still depends on human vigilance. When an agent dies at 2 AM, nobody notices until morning.
-- **Resources tracked:** Uptime, Capacity Utilization.
-- **Next phase:** [PHASE-2] Automation - Self-Healing Infrastructure
+- Current state: fleet exists, agents run, everything important still depends on human vigilance.
+- Resources tracked here: Capacity, Uptime.
+- Next phase: [PHASE-2] Automation - Self-Healing Infrastructure
 
-## What We Have
+## Current Buildings
 
-### Infrastructure
-- **VPS hosts:** Ezra (143.198.27.163), Allegro, Bezalel (167.99.126.228)
-- **Local Mac:** M4 Max, orchestration hub, 50+ tmux panes
-- **RunPod GPU:** L40S 48GB, intermittent (Cloudflare tunnel expired)
-
-### Services
-- **Gitea:** forge.alexanderwhitestone.com -- 16 repos, 500+ open issues, branch protection enabled
-- **Ollama:** 6 models loaded (~37GB), local inference
-- **Hermes:** Agent orchestration, cron system (90+ jobs, 6 workers)
-- **Evennia:** The Tower MUD world, federation capable
-
-### Agents
-- **Timmy:** Local harness, primary orchestrator
-- **Bezalel, Ezra, Allegro:** VPS workers dispatched via Gitea issues
-- **Code Claw, Gemini:** Specialized workers
+- VPS hosts: Ezra, Allegro, Bezalel
+- Agents: Timmy harness, Code Claw heartbeat, Gemini AI Studio worker

 ## Current Resource Snapshot
 
-| Resource | Value | Target | Status |
-|----------|-------|--------|--------|
-| Fleet operational | Yes | Yes | MET |
-| Uptime (30d average) | ~78% | >= 95% | NOT MET |
-| Days at 95%+ uptime | 0 | 30 | NOT MET |
-| Capacity utilization | ~35% | > 60% | NOT MET |
+- Fleet operational: yes
+- Uptime baseline: 0.0%
+- Days at or above 95% uptime: 0
+- Capacity utilization: 0.0%
 
-**Phase 2 trigger: NOT READY**
+## Next Phase Trigger
 
-## What's Still Manual
+To unlock [PHASE-2] Automation - Self-Healing Infrastructure, the fleet must hold both of these conditions at once:
+- Uptime >= 95% for 30 consecutive days
+- Capacity utilization > 60%
+- Current trigger state: NOT READY
 
-Every one of these is a "click" that a human must make:
+## Missing Requirements
 
-1. **Restart dead agents** -- SSH into VPS, check process, restart hermes
-2. **Health checks** -- SSH to each VPS, verify disk/memory/services
-3. **Dead pane recovery** -- tmux pane dies, nobody notices, work stops
-4. **Provider failover** -- Nous API goes down, agents stop, human reconfigures
-5. **PR triage** -- 80% auto-merge, but 20% need human review
-6. **Backlog management** -- 500+ issues, burn loops help but need supervision
-7. **Nightly retro** -- manually run and push results
-8. **Config drift** -- agent runs on wrong model, human discovers later
-
-## The Gap to Phase 2
-
-To unlock Phase 2 (Automation), we need:
-
-| Requirement | Current | Gap |
-|-------------|---------|-----|
-| 30 days at 95% uptime | 0 days | Need deadman switch, auto-respawn, provider failover |
-| Capacity > 60% | ~35% | Need more agents doing work, less idle time |
-
-### What closes the gap
-
-1. **Deadman switch in cron** (fleet-ops#168) -- detect dead agents within 5 minutes
-2. **Auto-respawn** (fleet-ops#173) -- restart dead tmux panes automatically
-3. **Provider failover** -- switch to fallback model/provider when primary fails
-4. **Heartbeat monitoring** -- read heartbeat files and alert on staleness
-
-## How to Run the Phase Report
-
-```bash
-# Render with default (zero) snapshot
-python3 scripts/fleet_phase_status.py
-
-# Render with real snapshot
-python3 scripts/fleet_phase_status.py --snapshot configs/phase-1-snapshot.json
-
-# Output as JSON
-python3 scripts/fleet_phase_status.py --snapshot configs/phase-1-snapshot.json --json
-
-# Write to file
-python3 scripts/fleet_phase_status.py --snapshot configs/phase-1-snapshot.json --output docs/FLEET_PHASE_1_SURVIVAL.md
-```
+- Uptime 0.0% / 95.0%
+- Days at or above 95% uptime: 0/30
+- Capacity utilization 0.0% / >60.0%
 
 ## Manual Clicker Interpretation
 
 Paperclips analogy: Phase 1 = Manual clicker. You ARE the automation.
 Every restart, every SSH, every check is a manual click.
 
-The goal of Phase 1 is not to automate. It's to **name what needs automating**. Every manual click documented here is a Phase 2 ticket.
+## Manual Clicks Still Required
+
+- Restart agents and services by hand when a node goes dark.
+- SSH into machines to verify health, disk, and memory.
+- Check Gitea, relay, and world services manually before and after changes.
+- Act as the scheduler when automation is missing or only partially wired.
+
+## Repo Signals Already Present
+
+- `scripts/fleet_health_probe.sh` — Automated health probe exists and can supply the uptime baseline for the next phase.
+- `scripts/fleet_milestones.py` — Milestone tracker exists, so survival achievements can be narrated and logged.
+- `scripts/auto_restart_agent.sh` — Auto-restart tooling already exists as phase-2 groundwork.
+- `scripts/backup_pipeline.sh` — Backup pipeline scaffold exists for post-survival automation work.
+- `infrastructure/timmy-bridge/reports/generate_report.py` — Bridge reporting exists and can summarize heartbeat-driven uptime.
 
 ## Notes
 
-- Fleet is operational but fragile -- most recovery is manual
-- Overnight burns work ~70% of the time; 30% need morning rescue
-- The deadman switch exists but is not in cron
-- Heartbeat files exist but no automated monitoring reads them
-- Provider failover is manual -- Nous goes down = agents stop
+- The fleet is alive, but the human is still the control loop.
+- Phase 1 is about naming reality plainly so later automation has a baseline to beat.

-# 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
