feat: Know Thy Father Phase 2 — Multimodal Analysis Pipeline (#584)

Processes the media manifest from Phase 1 with vision analysis,
meaning kernel extraction, and checkpointed/resumable execution.

## Pipeline
- Reads media-manifest.jsonl from Phase 1
- Processes images (visual description + meme logic) and videos
  (frame extraction + sequence analysis)
- Extracts "Meaning Kernels" related to sovereignty, service, soul
- Checkpointed and resumable (JSONL + checkpoint.json)
- Theme classification across 15 categories

## Files
- scripts/twitter_archive/analyze_media.py — full pipeline (224 lines)
- tests/twitter_archive/test_analyze_media.py — 12 tests

## Usage
python analyze_media.py                  # Process all pending
python analyze_media.py --batch 10       # Process next 10
python analyze_media.py --status         # Show progress
python analyze_media.py --extract-kernels # Extract meaning kernels
python analyze_media.py --retry-failed   # Retry failures

## Output
~/.timmy/twitter-archive/know-thy-father/analysis.jsonl
~/.timmy/twitter-archive/know-thy-father/meaning-kernels.jsonl
~/.timmy/twitter-archive/know-thy-father/pipeline-status.json

Closes #584. Ref: #582, #583.

+# Hermes Maxi Manifesto
+
+_Adopted 2026-04-12. This document is the canonical statement of the Timmy Foundation's infrastructure philosophy._
+
+## The Decision
+
+We are Hermes maxis. One harness. One truth. No intermediary gateway layers.
+
+Hermes handles everything:
+- **Cognitive core** — reasoning, planning, tool use
+- **Channels** — Telegram, Discord, Nostr, Matrix (direct, not via gateway)
+- **Dispatch** — task routing, agent coordination, swarm management
+- **Memory** — MemPalace, sovereign SQLite+FTS5 store, trajectory export
+- **Cron** — heartbeat, morning reports, nightly retros
+- **Health** — process monitoring, fleet status, self-healing
+
+## What This Replaces
+
+OpenClaw was evaluated as a gateway layer (March–April 2026). The assessment:
+
+| Capability | OpenClaw | Hermes Native |
+|-----------|----------|---------------|
+| Multi-channel comms | Built-in | Direct integration per channel |
+| Persistent memory | SQLite (basic) | MemPalace + FTS5 + trajectory export |
+| Cron/scheduling | Native cron | Huey task queue + launchd |
+| Multi-agent sessions | Session routing | Wizard fleet + dispatch router |
+| Procedural memory | None | Sovereign Memory Store |
+| Model sovereignty | Requires external provider | Ollama local-first |
+| Identity | Configurable persona | SOUL.md + Bitcoin inscription |
+
+The governance concern (founder joined OpenAI, Feb 2026) sealed the decision, but the technical case was already clear: OpenClaw adds a layer without adding capability that Hermes doesn't already have or can't build natively.
+
+## The Principle
+
+Every external dependency is temporary falsework. If it can be built locally, it must be built locally. The target is a $0 cloud bill with full operational capability.
+
+This applies to:
+- **Agent harness** — Hermes, not OpenClaw/Claude Code/Cursor
+- **Inference** — Ollama + local models, not cloud APIs
+- **Data** — SQLite + FTS5, not managed databases
+- **Hosting** — Hermes VPS + Mac M3 Max, not cloud platforms
+- **Identity** — Bitcoin inscription + SOUL.md, not OAuth providers
+
+## Exceptions
+
+Cloud services are permitted as temporary scaffolding when:
+1. The local alternative doesn't exist yet
+2. There's a concrete plan (with a Gitea issue) to bring it local
+3. The dependency is isolated and can be swapped without architectural changes
+
+Every cloud dependency must have a `[FALSEWORK]` label in the issue tracker.
+
+## Enforcement
+
+- `BANNED_PROVIDERS.md` lists permanently banned providers (Anthropic)
+- Pre-commit hooks scan for banned provider references
+- The Swarm Governor enforces PR discipline
+- The Conflict Detector catches sibling collisions
+- All of these are stdlib-only Python with zero external dependencies
+
+## History
+
+- 2026-03-28: OpenClaw evaluation spike filed (timmy-home #19)
+- 2026-03-28: OpenClaw Bootstrap epic created (timmy-config #51–#63)
+- 2026-03-28: Governance concern flagged (founder → OpenAI)
+- 2026-04-09: Anthropic banned (timmy-config PR #440)
+- 2026-04-12: OpenClaw purged — Hermes maxi directive adopted
+  - timmy-config PR #487 (7 files, merged)
+  - timmy-home PR #595 (3 files, merged)
+  - the-nexus PRs #1278, #1279 (merged)
+  - 2 issues closed, 27 historical issues preserved
+
+---
+
+_"The clean pattern is to separate identity, routing, live task state, durable memory, reusable procedure, and artifact truth. Hermes does all six."_

+# Waste Audit — 2026-04-13
+
+Author: perplexity (automated review agent)
+Scope: All Timmy Foundation repos, PRs from April 12-13 2026
+
+## Purpose
+
+This audit identifies recurring waste patterns across the foundation's recent PR activity. The goal is to focus agent and contributor effort on high-value work and stop repeating costly mistakes.
+
+## Waste Patterns Identified
+
+### 1. Merging Over "Request Changes" Reviews
+
+**Severity: Critical**
+
+the-door#23 (crisis detection and response system) was merged despite both Rockachopa and Perplexity requesting changes. The blockers included:
+- Zero tests for code described as "the most important code in the foundation"
+- Non-deterministic `random.choice` in safety-critical response selection
+- False-positive risk on common words ("alone", "lost", "down", "tired")
+- Early-return logic that loses lower-tier keyword matches
+
+This is safety-critical code that scans for suicide and self-harm signals. Merging untested, non-deterministic code in this domain is the highest-risk misstep the foundation can make.
+
+**Corrective action:** Enforce branch protection requiring at least 1 approval with no outstanding change requests before merge. No exceptions for safety-critical code.
+
+### 2. Mega-PRs That Become Unmergeable
+
+**Severity: High**
+
+hermes-agent#307 accumulated 569 commits, 650 files changed, +75,361/-14,666 lines. It was closed without merge due to 10 conflicting files. The actual feature (profile-scoped cron) was then rescued into a smaller PR (#335).
+
+This pattern wastes reviewer time, creates merge conflicts, and delays feature delivery.
+
+**Corrective action:** PRs must stay under 500 lines changed. If a feature requires more, break it into stacked PRs. Branches older than 3 days without merge should be rebased or split.
+
+### 3. Pervasive CI Failures Ignored
+
+**Severity: High**
+
+Nearly every PR reviewed in the last 24 hours has failing CI (smoke tests, sanity checks, accessibility audits). PRs are being merged despite red CI. This undermines the entire purpose of having CI.
+
+**Corrective action:** CI must pass before merge. If CI is flaky or misconfigured, fix the CI — do not bypass it. The "Create merge commit (When checks succeed)" button exists for a reason.
+
+### 4. Applying Fixes to Wrong Code Locations
+
+**Severity: Medium**
+
+the-beacon#96 fix #3 changed `G.totalClicks++` to `G.totalAutoClicks++` in `writeCode()` (the manual click handler) instead of `autoType()` (the auto-click handler). This inverts the tracking entirely. Rockachopa caught this in review.
+
+This pattern suggests agents are pattern-matching on variable names rather than understanding call-site context.
+
+**Corrective action:** Every bug fix PR must include the reasoning for WHY the fix is in that specific location. Include a before/after trace showing the bug is actually fixed.
+
+### 5. Duplicated Effort Across Agents
+
+**Severity: Medium**
+
+the-testament#45 was closed with 7 conflicting files and replaced by a rescue PR #46. The original work was largely discarded. Multiple PRs across repos show similar patterns of rework: submit, get changes requested, close, resubmit.
+
+**Corrective action:** Before opening a PR, check if another agent already has a branch touching the same files. Coordinate via issues, not competing PRs.
+
+### 6. `wip:` Commit Prefixes Shipped to Main
+
+**Severity: Low**
+
+the-door#22 shipped 5 commits all prefixed `wip:` to main. This clutters git history and makes bisecting harder.
+
+**Corrective action:** Squash or rewrite commit messages before merge. No `wip:` prefixes in main branch history.
+
+## Priority Actions (Ranked)
+
+1. **Immediately add tests to the-door crisis_detector.py and crisis_responder.py** — this code is live on main with zero test coverage and known false-positive issues
+2. **Enable branch protection on all repos** — require 1 approval, no outstanding change requests, CI passing
+3. **Fix CI across all repos** — smoke tests and sanity checks are failing everywhere; this must be the baseline
+4. **Enforce PR size limits** — reject PRs over 500 lines changed at the CI level
+5. **Require bug-fix reasoning** — every fix PR must explain why the change is at that specific location
+
+## Metrics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Open PRs reviewed | 6 |
+| PRs merged this run | 1 (the-testament#41) |
+| PRs blocked | 2 (the-door#22, timmy-config#600) |
+| Repos with failing CI | 3+ |
+| PRs with zero test coverage | 4+ |
+| Estimated rework hours from waste | 20-40h |
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The project is moving fast but bleeding quality. The biggest risk is untested code on main — one bad deploy of crisis_detector.py could cause real harm. The priority actions above are ranked by blast radius. Start at #1 and don't skip ahead.

+# Research: Long Context vs RAG Decision Framework
+
+**Date**: 2026-04-13
+**Research Backlog Item**: 4.3 (Impact: 4, Effort: 1, Ratio: 4.0)
+**Status**: Complete
+
+## Current State of the Fleet
+
+### Context Windows by Model/Provider
+| Model | Context Window | Our Usage |
+|-------|---------------|-----------|
+| xiaomi/mimo-v2-pro (Nous) | 128K | Primary workhorse (Hermes) |
+| gpt-4o (OpenAI) | 128K | Fallback, complex reasoning |
+| claude-3.5-sonnet (Anthropic) | 200K | Heavy analysis tasks |
+| gemma-3 (local/Ollama) | 8K | Local inference |
+| gemma-3-27b (RunPod) | 128K | Sovereign inference |
+
+### How We Currently Inject Context
+1. **Hermes Agent**: System prompt (~2K tokens) + memory injection + skill docs + session history. We're doing **hybrid** — system prompt is stuffed, but past sessions are selectively searched via `session_search`.
+2. **Memory System**: holographic fact_store with SQLite FTS5 — pure keyword search, no embeddings. Effectively RAG without the vector part.
+3. **Skill Loading**: Skills are loaded on demand based on task relevance — this IS a form of RAG.
+4. **Session Search**: FTS5-backed keyword search across session transcripts.
+
+### Analysis: Are We Over-Retrieving?
+
+**YES for some workloads.** Our models support 128K+ context, but:
+- Session transcripts are typically 2-8K tokens each
+- Memory entries are <500 chars each
+- Skills are 1-3K tokens each
+- Total typical context: ~8-15K tokens
+
+We could fit 6-16x more context before needing RAG. But stuffing everything in:
+- Increases cost (input tokens are billed)
+- Increases latency
+- Can actually hurt quality (lost in the middle effect)
+
+### Decision Framework
+
+```
+IF task requires factual accuracy from specific sources:
+    → Use RAG (retrieve exact docs, cite sources)
+ELIF total relevant context < 32K tokens:
+    → Stuff it all (simplest, best quality)
+ELIF 32K < context < model_limit * 0.5:
+    → Hybrid: key docs in context, RAG for rest
+ELIF context > model_limit * 0.5:
+    → Pure RAG with reranking
+```
+
+### Key Insight: We're Mostly Fine
+Our current approach is actually reasonable:
+- **Hermes**: System prompt stuffed + selective skill loading + session search = hybrid approach. OK
+- **Memory**: FTS5 keyword search works but lacks semantic understanding. Upgrade candidate.
+- **Session recall**: Keyword search is limiting. Embedding-based would find semantically similar sessions.
+
+### Recommendations (Priority Order)
+1. **Keep current hybrid approach** — it's working well for 90% of tasks
+2. **Add semantic search to memory** — replace pure FTS5 with sqlite-vss or similar for the fact_store
+3. **Don't stuff sessions** — continue using selective retrieval for session history (saves cost)
+4. **Add context budget tracking** — log how many tokens each context injection uses
+
+### Conclusion
+We are NOT over-retrieving in most cases. The main improvement opportunity is upgrading memory from keyword search to semantic search, not changing the overall RAG vs stuffing strategy.
