feat(sprint): add autonomous sprint system scripts to version control

Add sprint system scripts to scripts/sprint/ so they're version-controlled
and deployable from the repo.

Files:
- sprint-runner.py — standalone Python runner (direct LLM API, no gateway)
- sprint-launcher.sh — shell launcher (gateway API path)
- sprint-monitor.sh — health monitor with Gitea issue counts
- skill/SKILL.md — sprint-backlog-burner skill documentation

Dual-path architecture:
- PATH 1: System crontab → sprint-runner.py (always works)
- PATH 2: Hermes cron → full agent loop (when gateway healthy)

Closes #602

+# 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.

+description: "Autonomous sprint system for burning Gitea backlog. Picks issues, implements, commits, pushes, PRs. High-frequency, isolated workspaces. Dual-path: system crontab + Hermes cron."
+version: 1.1.0

+
+# Sprint Backlog Burner
+
+## When To Use
+- User wants autonomous issue implementation against Gitea repos
+- User wants to burn through a backlog with high-frequency parallel workers
+- User wants a system that survives gateway outages (system crontab fallback)
+
+## Architecture — Dual Path
+
+```
+PATH 1: System Crontab (ALWAYS works, no gateway dependency)
+  └─→ sprint-runner.py (direct OpenAI SDK → LLM API)
+        └─→ picks issue → clones → branches → implements → PR
+
+PATH 2: Hermes Cron (full agent loop with tools, when gateway healthy)
+  └─→ cron job with sprint prompt
+        └─→ full tool access, session memory, skill loading
+
+PATH 1 is the safety net. PATH 2 is the preferred path when available.
+Both can run simultaneously — overlapping workspaces prevent conflicts.
+```
+
+## Files
+
+```
+~/.hermes/bin/sprint-runner.py    # Standalone Python runner (direct LLM API)
+~/.hermes/bin/sprint-launcher.sh  # Shell launcher (gateway API path)
+~/.hermes/bin/sprint-monitor.sh   # Health monitor with Gitea issue counts
+~/.hermes/logs/sprint/            # Logs + results.csv
+~/.hermes/logs/sprint/results.csv # Track record: timestamp|repo|#issue|exit_code
+~/.hermes/profiles/timmy-sprint/  # Sprint profile (mimo-v2-pro, port 8655)
+```
+
+## Provider Auto-Detection (Critical)
+
+sprint-runner.py reads `~/.hermes/config.yaml` and `~/.hermes/auth.json` to auto-detect the active provider. This is essential because the model config changes frequently.
+
+```python
+# Reads from config.yaml
+MODEL = cfg["model"]["default"]       # e.g. "gpt-5.4"
+PROVIDER = cfg["model"]["provider"]   # e.g. "openai-codex"
+BASE_URL = cfg["model"]["base_url"]
+
+# Reads auth from auth.json by provider name
+auth = json.load(open("~/.hermes/auth.json"))
+provider_auth = auth["providers"][PROVIDER]
+```
+
+### Provider Fallback Chain (learned 2026-04-12)
+
+| Provider | Status | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| `openai-codex` | Cloudflare-blocked | Cannot call directly via SDK. Gateway handles auth/challenges. |
+| `nous` | Works via SDK | Uses `agent_key` from auth.json. 24hr expiry. |
+| `ollama` | Works via SDK | Use `api_key="ollama"`. gemma4:latest is slow (~10s/turn) for tool calling. |
+| `openrouter` | Needs API key | `OPENROUTER_API_KEY` env var must be set. |
+
+**Rule:** If `openai-codex` is the active provider, sprint-runner.py must fall back to Ollama or another direct-callable provider. The runner implements this:
+
+```python
+if PROVIDER == "openai-codex":
+    # Fall back to local Ollama
+    PROVIDER = "ollama"
+    BASE_URL = "http://localhost:11434/v1"
+    MODEL = "gemma4:latest"
+    API_KEY = "ollama"
+```
+
+## Crontab Setup
+
+```cron
+# Sprint: timmy-home (225 issues) — every 10 min, 10min timeout
+*/10 * * * * timeout 600 ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 ~/.hermes/bin/sprint-runner.py Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home >> ~/.hermes/logs/sprint/cron.log 2>&1
+
+# Sprint: the-beacon (15 issues) — every 15 min, 10min timeout
+*/15 * * * * timeout 600 ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 ~/.hermes/bin/sprint-runner.py Timmy_Foundation/the-beacon >> ~/.hermes/logs/sprint/cron-beacon.log 2>&1
+
+# Sprint: timmy-config (126 issues) — every 20 min, 10min timeout
+*/20 * * * * timeout 600 ~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/python3 ~/.hermes/bin/sprint-runner.py Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config >> ~/.hermes/logs/sprint/cron-config.log 2>&1
+
+# Monitor — every 30 min
+*/30 * * * * ~/.hermes/bin/sprint-monitor.sh >> ~/.hermes/logs/sprint/monitor.log 2>&1
+```
+
+**Always use `timeout 600`** — local models (gemma4) need ~3min for 20 tool-calling turns. Without timeout, stuck processes pile up.
+
+## Hermes Cron Job IDs
+
+- `7501f1dba180` — timmy-home every 10m
+- `f965f91a1dfc` — the-beacon every 15m
+- `b65c57054257` — timmy-config every 20m
+
+These use `provider: nous` — if the `nous` provider is removed from config.yaml, these jobs fall through to fallbacks and fail.
+
+## Tool Calling with Local Models
+
+The Python runner implements 4 tools locally:
+- `run_command` — shell execution (subprocess)
+- `read_file` — file reading
+- `write_file` — file writing
+- `gitea_api` — Gitea REST API calls (urllib)
+
+Ollama's gemma4:latest supports tool calling via OpenAI SDK but is slow (~10s per turn, ~20 turns = ~3min). hermes4:14b is an alternative but also slow.
+
+**Gateway vs Standalone:** The gateway enforces a 64K minimum context window. gemma4:latest (8K) fails this check. The standalone Python runner has no such restriction.
+
+## Pre-Implementation Scoping (CRITICAL — saves wasted work)
+
+Before writing ANY code, verify the bug isn't already fixed and there's no stale branch:
+
+**1. Check git blame for the affected lines.** If someone already fixed the bug on main, don't reimplement it:
+```bash
+git blame -L <line>,<line> <file>
+```
+If the blame shows a recent commit that changed the problematic text/code, the fix is already on main.
+
+**2. Check all branches for prior fix attempts:**
+```bash
+git log --all --oneline --grep="issue-101"
+git branch -a --contains <commit>
+```
+If a commit message references the issue but the branch isn't merged to main, read the diff to understand why it failed.
+
+**3. Compare the issue's claims against the actual code.** QA reports are point-in-time snapshots. If BUG-06 says "toast says 'trust draining'" but the current code says "compute draining", the bug was already fixed between the QA report and now.
+
+**4. Read failed branches to learn from their mistakes.** If `sprint/issue-101` exists but wasn't merged, `git diff main..origin/sprint/issue-101` shows what they tried. Common failure modes:
+- Wrong CSS classes (element IDs don't match what JS expects)
+- Destructive changes (deletes unrelated code)
+- Incomplete implementation (only fixes 1 of 3 bugs)
+
+**5. Scope down to what's actually left.** Multi-bug issues (like "3 UI bugs") may have 2 already fixed. Only implement the remainder. Document which bugs were already fixed and which PR/commit did it.
+
+**Decision tree:**
+```
+Is the bug fixed on main? (git blame + read file)
+├── YES → Skip, document which commit fixed it
+├── PARTIALLY → Fix only the remainder
+└── NO → Check for failed branches
+    ├── Found failed branch → Learn from it, start fresh
+    └── No prior work → Implement from scratch
+```
+
+## Sprint Flow
+
+1. **FETCH**: `GET /api/v1/repos/{repo}/issues?state=open&limit=15&sort=oldest`
+2. **PICK**: First non-epic, non-study issue
+3. **SCOPE**: Run the Pre-Implementation Scoping checks above
+4. **CLONE**: `git clone https://timmy:$TOKEN@forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/{repo}.git`
+5. **BRANCH**: `git checkout -b feat/issue-{N}` (use `feat/` prefix, not `burn/`)
+6. **IMPLEMENT**: Real code changes via tool calls
+7. **VERIFY**: Tests/lint/build if they exist
+8. **COMMIT+PUSH**: `git commit -m "fix: {title} (closes #{N})"`
+9. **PR**: `POST /api/v1/repos/{repo}/pulls`
+10. **COMMENT**: `POST /api/v1/repos/{repo}/issues/{N}/comments`
+
+## Monitor Output
+
+```bash
+bash ~/.hermes/bin/sprint-monitor.sh
+```
+
+Shows: active workspace count, per-repo pass/fail rates, open issue counts from Gitea, gateway status, all-time results from results.csv.
+
+## Pitfalls (Hard-Won)
+
+1. **openai-codex is Cloudflare-blocked** — cannot call `chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex` directly from scripts. Must use gateway or fall back to another provider.
+
+2. **Gateway API accepts connections but never responds** when the agent can't initialize (bad provider config, missing model). Health check (`/health`) still returns OK. Check `gateway.error.log` for actual errors.
+
+3. **Profile `--clone` copies stale auth.json** — Nous tokens expire in 24hrs. Cloned profiles get yesterday's tokens. Either re-auth (`hermes model`) or copy fresh auth.json.
+
+4. **Gateway cron `tool_choice` bug** (scheduler.py:731) — `AIAgent.__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'tool_choice'`. Affects ALL cron jobs when present. System crontab (PATH 1) bypasses this entirely.
+
+5. **`providers` section in config.yaml** — if a cron job specifies `provider: nous` but `nous` isn't in the `providers:` dict, the gateway falls through to fallbacks. All fallbacks must also be configured or they fail sequentially.
+
+6. **Overlapping workspaces** — unique `/tmp/sprint-{timestamp}-{pid}` per run prevents conflicts. But stale workspaces cause git clone failures ("destination path already exists"). The auto-cleanup keeps last 24.
+
+7. **Ollama 64K context minimum** — gateway rejects gemma4:latest (8K context). Standalone runner doesn't enforce this. Use `hermes4:14b` or `qwen2.5:7b` as alternatives (check context with `curl localhost:11434/api/show`).
+
+8. **Gitea branch naming** — use `feat/` prefix for PRs, NOT `burn/` (burn/ branches fail PR on the-nexus per memory).
+
+9. **Profile provider isolation is PARTIAL (2026-04-12)** — A profile's `config.yaml` can specify `model.provider: nous` and `model.base_url: https://inference-api.nousresearch.com/v1`, but the gateway resolves the actual provider client from the **GLOBAL** `~/.hermes/config.yaml` `providers:` section. If `nous` is missing from global `providers:`, ALL cron jobs (even with `profile: timmy-sprint`) fall through to fallbacks. The profile's `model.base_url` alone is NOT enough — the provider must exist in both the profile config AND the global providers dict. This is a gap in the profile isolation implementation (fleet-ops#95). Workaround: ensure every provider used by any profile is also defined in the global `providers:` section.
+
+10. **`hermes chat -q` is too slow for agent loops** — creating a fresh agent session via CLI takes 30-60+ seconds before the first tool call. Not viable for cron-triggered work. Use `sprint-runner.py` (direct API) or the gateway API instead.
+
+11. **Config drift detection** — if someone changes `model.default` or `model.provider` in the global config (e.g., switching from `nous` to `openai-codex`), ALL cron jobs that don't specify their own `provider` will silently switch models. Sprint jobs that hardcode `provider: nous` in the job dict will fall through to fallbacks if the provider isn't in the global `providers:` section. Monitor `gateway.error.log` for `\"model X is not supported when using Codex\"` as a symptom.
+
+12. **Stale branches lie.** A branch named `sprint/issue-101` or `fix/issue-101` doesn't mean the fix is correct. Always `git diff main..origin/branchname` before trusting it. Common failures: wrong element IDs, deleted unrelated code, CSS classes that don't match the JS querySelector. Read the code, not the branch name.
+
+13. **Clone with token in URL.** Standard pattern for authenticated clones: `git clone https://timmy:$TOKEN@forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/org/repo.git`. Token comes from `~/.config/gitea/` (multiple tokens exist — `token` is Rockachopa, `timmy-token` is Timmy, etc.).
