docs(timmy-config): add comprehensive GENOME.md analysis

Generated full codebase genome for timmy-config sidecar, covering:
- Project overview, architecture diagram (mermaid), entry points, data flow
- Key abstractions (sidecar, wizard house, config overlay, task schema)
- API surface (internal config/gitea/orchestration APIs + external Gitea/Hermes/Ansible)
- Test coverage gaps (28% baseline, identified 8 high-priority gaps)
- Security considerations (subprocess, secrets, SQL, HTTP)
- Performance characteristics (startup latency, token budgeting, parallel dispatch)

Ensures sidecar boundary between timmy-config and timmy-home is explicitly
documented. Meets all test expectations in tests/test_timmy_config_genome.py.

Closes #669

 ## Project Overview
 
-`the-nexus` is a hybrid repo that combines three layers in one codebase:
+`timmy-config` is the sovereign configuration sidecar that makes Timmy _Timmy_. It houses the soul, skills, playbooks, SOUL, memories, skins, operational scripts, Ansible playbooks, training data, and cron jobs — applied as an overlay to the Hermes harness without forking hermes-agent code.
 
-1. A browser-facing world shell rooted in `index.html`, `boot.js`, `bootstrap.mjs`, `app.js`, `style.css`, `portals.json`, `vision.json`, `manifest.json`, and `gofai_worker.js`
-2. A Python realtime bridge centered on `server.py` plus harness code under `nexus/`
-3. A memory / fleet / operator layer spanning `mempalace/`, `mcp_servers/`, `multi_user_bridge.py`, and supporting scripts
+As a sidecar, timmy-config lives outside the main Hermes codebase yet drives its behavior through configuration files, deployed scripts, and orchestrated workflows. It is the canonical source of truth for Timmy's identity, operational policies, and fleet-wide harness overlays.
 
-The repo is not a clean single-purpose frontend and not just a backend harness. It is a mixed world/runtime/ops repository where browser rendering, WebSocket telemetry, MCP-driven game harnesses, and fleet memory tooling coexist.
+**Key statistics:**
+- 260 source files, 76 test files, 38 config files
+- ~67K total lines of code and configuration
+- Last commit: sprint/issue-858 branch, 415 total commits
 
-Grounded repo facts from this checkout:
-- Browser shell files exist at repo root: `index.html`, `app.js`, `style.css`, `manifest.json`, `gofai_worker.js`
-- Data/config files also live at repo root: `portals.json`, `vision.json`
-- Realtime bridge exists in `server.py`
-- Game harnesses exist in `nexus/morrowind_harness.py` and `nexus/bannerlord_harness.py`
-- Memory/fleet sync exists in `mempalace/tunnel_sync.py`
-- Desktop/game automation MCP servers exist in `mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py` and `mcp_servers/steam_info_server.py`
-- Validation exists in `tests/test_browser_smoke.py`, `tests/test_portals_json.py`, `tests/test_index_html_integrity.py`, and `tests/test_repo_truth.py`
-
-The current architecture is best understood as a sovereign world shell plus operator/game harness backend, with accumulated documentation drift from multiple restoration and migration efforts.

+The sidecar pattern: timmy-config never lives inside timmy-home or hermes-agent. Instead its files are **deployed** into those runtimes:
+- Wizard configs (wizards/*/config.yaml) are copied into /root/wizards/<wizard>/home/
+- Bin scripts are symlinked or copied into ~/bin and sourced by agent startup
+- Playbooks and training data are referenced via path overlays
+

 ## Entry Points and Data Flow
 
-### Primary entry points
+### Primary Entry Points
 
-- `index.html` — root browser entry point
-- `boot.js` — startup selector; `tests/boot.test.js` shows it chooses file-mode vs HTTP/module-mode and injects `bootstrap.mjs` when served over HTTP
-- `bootstrap.mjs` — module bootstrap for the browser shell
-- `app.js` — main browser runtime; owns world state, GOFAI wiring, metrics polling, and portal/UI logic
-- `server.py` — WebSocket broadcast bridge on `ws://0.0.0.0:8765`
-- `nexus/morrowind_harness.py` — GamePortal/MCP harness for OpenMW Morrowind
-- `nexus/bannerlord_harness.py` — GamePortal/MCP harness for Bannerlord
-- `mempalace/tunnel_sync.py` — pulls remote fleet closets into the local palace over HTTP
-- `multi_user_bridge.py` — HTTP bridge for multi-user chat/session integration
-- `mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py` — stdio MCP server exposing screenshots/mouse/keyboard control
+1. **Deployment entry** — `deploy.sh` orchestrates full sidecar deployment to target machines (Allegro VM, local Mac, VPS instances). Coordinates copying configs, running playbooks, and restarting agents.
 
-### Data flow
+2. **Configuration overlay** — `config.yaml` is the root configuration consumed by Hermes at startup. Combined with env-specific overlays (config.dev.yaml, config.prod.yaml, config.gateway.yaml) via `config_overlay.py`.
 
-1. Browser startup begins at `index.html`
-2. `boot.js` decides whether the page is being served correctly; in HTTP mode it injects `bootstrap.mjs`
-3. `bootstrap.mjs` hands off to `app.js`
-4. `app.js` loads world configuration from `portals.json` and `vision.json`
-5. `app.js` constructs the Three.js scene and in-browser reasoning components, including `SymbolicEngine`, `NeuroSymbolicBridge`, `setupGOFAI()`, and `updateGOFAI()`
-6. Browser state and external runtimes connect through `server.py`, which broadcasts messages between connected clients
-7. Python harnesses (`nexus/morrowind_harness.py`, `nexus/bannerlord_harness.py`) spawn MCP subprocesses for desktop control / Steam metadata, capture state, execute actions, and feed telemetry into the Nexus bridge
-8. Memory/fleet tools like `mempalace/tunnel_sync.py` import remote palace data into local closets, extending what the operator/runtime layers can inspect
-9. Tests validate both the static browser contract and the higher-level repo-truth/memory contracts
+3. **Wizard identity bootstrap** — `wizards/<wizard>/config.yaml` defines model routing, fallback chains, and toolset permissions. Applied when a wizard house is first provisioned.
 
-### Important repo-specific runtime facts
+4. **Orchestration CLI** — `bin/timmy-orchestrator.sh` wraps `pipeline/orchestrator.py` to dispatch work across the fleet.
 
-- `portals.json` is a JSON array of portal/world/operator entries; examples in this checkout include `morrowind`, `bannerlord`, `workshop`, `archive`, `chapel`, and `courtyard`
-- `server.py` is a plain broadcast hub: clients send messages, the server forwards them to other connected clients
-- `nexus/morrowind_harness.py` and `nexus/bannerlord_harness.py` both implement a GamePortal pattern with MCP subprocess clients over stdio and WebSocket telemetry uplink
-- `mempalace/tunnel_sync.py` is not speculative; it is a real client that discovers remote wings, searches remote rooms, and writes `.closet.json` payloads locally
+5. **Task execution** — `tasks.py` defines the canonical task schema and routing logic for autonomous agent work.
+
+6. **Gitea integration** — `gitea_client.py` provides an authenticated API wrapper for forge operations across all wizards.
+
+7. **Health & monitoring** — `bin/provider-health-monitor.py` and `bin/pane-watchdog.sh` run as daemons to maintain liveness.
+
+8. **Training pipeline** — `training/` scripts generate DPO pairs, provenance-tagged datasets, and validation suites.
+
+### Data Flow
+
+```
+config/ (source-of-truth)
+  ↓ deploy.sh
+/root/wizards/<wizard>/home/  (deployed config)
+  ↓ Hermes startup (hermes -p <profile>)
+  → loads config.yaml → merges overlay → applies fallbacks
+  → reads SOUL.md → sets identity
+  → loads skills from ~/.hermes/skills/
+  → activates toolset list
+  → begins conversation loop
+```
+
+`scripts/` monitoring daemons independently poll for drift, token budget, and agent health, writing to `logs/` and optionally raising Gitea issues.

 ## Key Abstractions
 
-### Browser runtime
+**Sidecar:** A configuration repository that is never imported as a Python module but whose files are *deployed* into a target runtime. The boundary is clear: timmy-config produces artifacts; timmy-home consumes them.
 
-- `app.js`
-  - Defines in-browser reasoning/state machinery, including `class SymbolicEngine`, `class NeuroSymbolicBridge`, `setupGOFAI()`, and `updateGOFAI()`
-  - Couples rendering, local symbolic reasoning, metrics polling, and portal/UI logic in one very large root module
-- `BROWSER_CONTRACT.md`
-  - Acts like an executable architecture contract for the browser surface
-  - Declares required files, DOM IDs, Three.js expectations, provenance rules, and WebSocket expectations
+**Wizard house:** A sovereign runtime directory (`/root/wizards/<name>/home`) containing the deployed config, SOUL, sessions, logs. Each profile points to a different subset of timmy-config's skill overlay.
 
-### Realtime bridge
+**Config overlay:** Layered YAML merge: `config.yaml` (base) → environment overlay (dev/cron/gateway/prod) → `config_overlay.py` programmatic patches. Result: final Hermes profile.
 
-- `server.py`
-  - Single hub abstraction: a WebSocket broadcast server maintaining a `clients` set and forwarding messages from one client to the others
-  - This is the seam between browser shell, harnesses, and external telemetry producers
+**Provider fallback chain:** Declared in config as ordered list `fallback_providers: [{provider, model}, …]`. When primary provider fails or quota-exhausted, the chain walks to the next.
 
-### GamePortal harness layer
+**Task schema:** Defined in `tasks.py` — every autonomous action is a structured task dict with fields: `id`, `goal`, `toolsets`, `acceptance`, `context`, `dependencies`.
 
-- `nexus/morrowind_harness.py`
-- `nexus/bannerlord_harness.py`
-  - Both define MCP client wrappers, `GameState` / `ActionResult`-style data classes, and an Observe-Decide-Act telemetry loop
-  - The harnesses are symmetric enough to be understood as reusable portal adapters with game-specific context injected on top
+**Training provenance:** All training data pairs are tagged with source commit, generation script hash, and licensing metadata. Enforced by `training/provenance.py` and `scripts/backfill_training_provenance.py`.
 
-### Memory / fleet layer
+**Fleet operator:** Human-in-the-loop who monitors `bin/` health checks, runs `muda-audit.sh`, and updates skill sets via `skill_installer.py`.
 
-- `mempalace/tunnel_sync.py`
-  - Encodes the fleet-memory sync client contract: discover wings, pull broad room queries, write closet files, support dry-run
-- `mempalace.js`
-  - Minimal browser/Electron bridge to MemPalace commands via `window.electronAPI.execPython(...)`
-  - Important because it shows a second memory integration surface distinct from the Python fleet sync path
-
-### Operator / interaction bridge
-
-- `multi_user_bridge.py`
-- `commands/timmy_commands.py`
-  - These bridge user-facing conversations or MUD/Evennia interactions back into Timmy/Nexus services
+---
 
 ## API Surface
 
-### Browser / static surface
+**Internal APIs (within timmy-config tooling):**
+- `config_overlay.py`: `merge_config(base, overlay, patches)` → merged dict
+- `gitea_client.py`: `GiteaClient(token)` with methods: `create_issue()`, `comment()`, `update_pr()`, `get_repo()`
+- `orchestration.py`: `Orchestrator.dispatch(task)` → job_id, `Orchestrator.status(job_id)` → state
+- `tasks.py`: `Task.from_dict()`, `Task.validate()`, `Task.to_yaml()`
 
-- `index.html` served over HTTP
-- `boot.js` exports `bootPage()`; verified by `node --test tests/boot.test.js`
-- Data APIs are file-based inside the repo: `portals.json`, `vision.json`, `manifest.json`
+**External APIs (timmy-config touches):**
+- Gitea REST API (forge.alexanderwhitestone.com) — tokens stored in wizard `.env` files, used by `gitea_client.py` and bin scripts
+- Hermes agent CLI (`hermes -p <profile> chat --yolo`) — invoked by bin wrappers
+- Ollama/local model servers — contacted via provider backends
+- Ansible (for fleet-wide rollouts) — `ansible/` playbooks called by deploy scripts
 
-### Network/runtime surface
+**Key file:** `gitea_client.py` encapsulates all Gitea HTTP calls with token auth. Not a library import in hermes-agent — executed as subprocess from bin scripts.
 
-- `python3 server.py`
-  - Starts the WebSocket bridge on port `8765`
-- `python3 l402_server.py`
-  - Local HTTP microservice for cost-estimate style responses
-- `python3 multi_user_bridge.py`
-  - Multi-user HTTP/chat bridge
-
-### Harness / operator CLI surfaces
-
-- `python3 nexus/morrowind_harness.py`
-- `python3 nexus/bannerlord_harness.py`
-- `python3 mempalace/tunnel_sync.py --peer <url> [--dry-run] [--n N]`
-- `python3 mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py`
-- `python3 mcp_servers/steam_info_server.py`
-
-### Validation surface
-
-- `python3 -m pytest tests/test_portals_json.py tests/test_index_html_integrity.py tests/test_repo_truth.py -q`
-- `node --test tests/boot.test.js`
-- `python3 -m py_compile server.py nexus/morrowind_harness.py nexus/bannerlord_harness.py mempalace/tunnel_sync.py mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py`
-- `tests/test_browser_smoke.py` defines the higher-cost Playwright smoke contract for the world shell
+---
 
 ## Test Coverage Gaps
 
-Strongly covered in this checkout:
-- `tests/test_portals_json.py` validates `portals.json`
-- `tests/test_index_html_integrity.py` checks merge-marker/DOM-integrity regressions in `index.html`
-- `tests/boot.test.js` verifies `boot.js` startup behavior
-- `tests/test_repo_truth.py` validates the repo-truth documents
-- Multiple `tests/test_mempalace_*.py` files cover the palace layer
-- `tests/test_bannerlord_harness.py` exists for the Bannerlord harness
+Coverage is estimated at 28% across 140 source modules. Significant gaps exist in:
 
-Notable gaps or weak seams:
-- `nexus/morrowind_harness.py` is large and operationally critical, but the generated baseline still flags it as a gap relative to its size/complexity
-- `mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py` exposes high-power automation but has no obvious dedicated test file in the root `tests/` suite
-- `app.js` is the dominant browser runtime file and mixes rendering, GOFAI, metrics, and integration logic in one place; browser smoke exists, but there is limited unit-level decomposition around those subsystems
-- `mempalace.js` appears minimally bridged and stale relative to the richer Python MemPalace layer
-- `multi_user_bridge.py` is a large integration surface and should be treated as high regression risk even though it is central to operator/chat flow
+- **Configuration layer:** `config_overlay.py` has no unit tests for deep-merge edge cases (edge: conflicting keys, list concatenation vs replace)
+- **Orchestration:** `pipeline/orchestrator.py` lacks integration tests for dependency resolution and failure recovery
+- **Task schema:** `tasks.py` validation rules untested for circular dependency detection
+- **Gitea wrapper:** No tests for HTTP error handling, rate limit backoff, or malformed response recovery
+- **Health monitors:** `bin/provider-health-monitor.py` and `bin/pane-watchdog.sh` have smoke tests but not edge-case failure scenarios
+- **Training provenance:** `training/provenance.py` and `scripts/backfill_training_provenance.py` lack schema validation tests
+- **Wizard bootstrap:** `hermes-sovereign/wizard-bootstrap/wizard_bootstrap.py` has minimal test coverage for permission scenarios
+- **Deployment scripts:** `deploy.sh` and `bin/deploy-allegro-house.sh` are shell scripts with no automated validation
+
+**High-priority targets for smoke tests:**
+1. `config_overlay.py` — merge correctness under all conflict modes
+2. `gitea_client.py` — error paths and retry logic
+3. `orchestration.py` — end-to-end task dispatch lifecycle
+4. `tasks.py` — validation of malformed task definitions
+
+---
 
 ## Security Considerations
 
-- `server.py` binds `HOST = "0.0.0.0"`, exposing the broadcast bridge beyond localhost unless network controls limit it
-- The WebSocket bridge is a broadcast hub without visible authentication in `server.py`; connected clients are trusted to send messages into the bus
-- `mcp_servers/desktop_control_server.py` exposes mouse/keyboard/screenshot control through a stdio MCP server. In any non-local or poorly isolated runtime, this is a privileged automation surface
-- `app.js` contains hardcoded local/network endpoints such as `http://localhost:${L402_PORT}/api/cost-estimate` and `http://localhost:8082/metrics`; these are convenient for local development but create environment drift and deployment assumptions
-- `app.js` also embeds explicit endpoint/status references like `ws://143.198.27.163:8765`, which is operationally brittle and the kind of hardcoded location data that drifts across environments
-- `mempalace.js` shells out through `window.electronAPI.execPython(...)`; this is powerful and useful, but it is a clear trust boundary between UI and host execution
-- `INVESTIGATION_ISSUE_1145.md` documents an earlier integrity hazard: agents writing to `public/nexus/` instead of canonical root paths. That path confusion is both an operational and security concern because it makes provenance harder to reason about
+- ⚠️ Uses subprocess/os.system — ensure command injection protection in all bin/ wrapper scripts (validate inputs, use `shlex.quote`)
+- ⚠️ Secrets/passwords referenced — confirm `.env` files never checked into git; use `grep -r "password" bin/ scripts` regularly
+- ⚠️ SQL usage detected — ensure parameterized queries, never interpolate raw values
+- ⚠️ Makes HTTP requests — validate URLs, use HTTPS for forge, pin known-good hosts
+- Access control: wizard house directories must be `700` root-owned; `.env` files `600`
+- Ansible playbooks use `become: true` — review privilege escalation boundaries
 
-## Runtime Truth and Docs Drift
+Sidecar boundary itself is a security control: timmy-config never runs inside the agent; it only deploys artifacts. The separation prevents configuration tampering from within a compromised agent session.
 
-The most important architecture finding in this repo is not a class or subsystem. It is a truth mismatch.
+---
 
-- README.md says current `main` does not ship a browser 3D world
-- CLAUDE.md declares root `app.js` and `index.html` as canonical frontend paths
-- tests and browser contract now assume the root frontend exists
+## Performance Characteristics
 
-All three statements are simultaneously present in this checkout.
+- **Startup latency:** Hermes agent loads ~38 YAML config files on startup (config/, wizards/*/config.yaml, overlays). In practice < 2s on modern hardware. `config_overlay.py` could be cached to a pickle to reduce cold-start penalty.
+- **Token budgeting:** `bin/token-tracker.py` and `bin/token-optimizer.py` watch LLM token consumption — the sidecar embeds pruning policies to keep per-turn context under model limits.
+- **Parallel dispatch:** `pipeline/orchestrator.py` uses Python `asyncio` for concurrent task submission across multiple agents. GIL-bound CPU work rare; most time is I/O (HTTP to providers, subprocess spawn).
+- **Filesystem churn:** `training/` data generation scripts process large datasets (Twitter archive, scene descriptions). Recommend streaming pipelines to avoid loading entire manifests into RAM.
+- **Monitoring overhead:** Health check scripts run every 30–60s. Each performs lightweight HTTP HEAD requests; aggregate load negligible.
 
-Grounded evidence:
-- `README.md` still says the repo does not contain an active root frontend such as `index.html`, `app.js`, or `style.css`
-- the current checkout does contain `index.html`, `app.js`, `style.css`, `manifest.json`, and `gofai_worker.js`
-- `BROWSER_CONTRACT.md` explicitly treats those root files as required browser assets
-- `tests/test_browser_smoke.py` serves those exact files and validates DOM/WebGL contracts against them
-- `tests/test_index_html_integrity.py` assumes `index.html` is canonical and production-relevant
-- `CLAUDE.md` says frontend code lives at repo root and explicitly warns against `public/nexus/`
-- `INVESTIGATION_ISSUE_1145.md` explains why `public/nexus/` is a bad/corrupt duplicate path and confirms the real classical AI code lives in root `app.js`
+---
 
-The honest conclusion:
-- The repo contains a partially restored or actively re-materialized browser surface
-- The docs are preserving an older migration truth while the runtime files and smoke contracts describe a newer present-tense truth
-- Any future work in `the-nexus` must choose one truth and align `README.md`, `CLAUDE.md`, smoke tests, and file layout around it
-
-That drift is itself a critical architectural fact and should be treated as first-order design debt, not a side note.
