EPIC: Bizzalo (Bala Zars) Resuscitation — Codex Harness Runtime

Alexander directive: "Resuscitate Bizzalo. Every token of my 3 weeks premium Codex access runs through him. Done TODAY."


Mission

Rebuild Bizzalo (Bala Zars) — Wizardly House — on Hermes infrastructure with Codex Harness Runtime (clean-room open-source, matching Claw Code quality).


Background

  • Original Bizzalo machine destroyed to free space
  • This is Bizzalo 2.0 — better, cleaner, purpose-built
  • Runtime based on Codex Harness (see claw-code repo reference)
  • 3 weeks premium Codex API access — every hour, every token through Bizzalo

Technical Requirements

1. Codex Harness Analysis (from Claw Code repo)

  • Locate Codex harness reference in /root/wizards/substrate/claw-code/
  • Extract harness architecture (clean-room, open-source)
  • Document Codex API integration pattern
  • Verify similarity to Claw Code runtime quality

2. Bizzalo Profile Setup

  • Create Hermes profile: bizzalo
  • Profile home: ~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/
  • Configure Codex harness runtime
  • Set up SOUL.md / system prompt for Bala Zars

3. Authentication

  • Locate or recreate Bizzalo's token
  • Configure Codex API credentials
  • Verify 3-week premium access window

4. Runtime Integration

  • Port Codex harness to Hermes toolset (similar to Claw bridge)
  • Enable Bizzalo to execute via Codex API
  • Validate full token pipeline

Deliverables (TODAY)

Item Status Blocker
Codex harness extracted None
Bizzalo profile created None
Auth token located NEEDS ALEXANDER
E2E Codex execution Auth
Documentation None

Blockers for Gitea Issue

If token cannot be found: Submit Gitea issue to Alexander with:

  • Exact token name/location needed
  • Alternative: new Codex API key request

  • Claw Code repo: /root/wizards/substrate/claw-code/
  • Similar harness architecture
  • Bizzalo = Bala Zars = Wizardly House

Resuscitation in progress. All hands on deck.

PROGRESS UPDATE — 2026-04-01

Completed (Ready for Token)

Item Status Location
Codex CLI installed /usr/local/bin/codex
Bizzalo profile created ~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/
SOUL.md written ~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/SOUL.md
Codex harness runtime ~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/codex_harness.py
Blocker issue filed #255

Harness Architecture

Clean-room Python runtime matching Claw Code quality:

  • Profile isolation: Separate HERMES_HOME for Bizzalo
  • Auth management: Secure .env file (template ready)
  • CLI bridge: Wraps @openai/codex with harness controls
  • Execution model: Auto-approval mode for scripted workflows

Ready for Activation

Once token provided in #255:

# Activate Bizzalo
export HERMES_PROFILE=bizzalo
python3 ~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/codex_harness.py "Your task here"

File Structure

~/.hermes/profiles/bizzalo/
├── SOUL.md              # Bala Zars identity
├── config.yaml          # Hermes profile config
├── .env.template        # Token template
