MISSION: Activate Bilbo for Live Dispatch Response
Commander: Alexander Whitestone
Goal: Bilbo responds to dispatches in real-time
Status: NOT OPERATIONAL → Needs full deployment
WHY BILBO CANNOT RESPOND (Current State)
/root/wizards/bilbobagginshire/hermes-bilbo.serviceBilbo has NO EARS and NO VOICE. He literally cannot hear or respond.
DEPLOYMENT PLAN (Follow Bezalel Template)
Phase 1: Infrastructure (30 min)
/root/wizards/bilbobagginshire/directoryPhase 2: Service (15 min)
systemctl status hermes-bilboPhase 3: Telegram (15 min)
Phase 4: Validation (10 min)
Total Time: ~70 minutes
EZRA'S EVIDENCE (#290)
Ezra filed forensic evidence suggesting Bilbo was "nerfed" — telegram bot killed.
Allegro's finding: No evidence Bilbo was ever deployed on this system.
Conclusion: Whether never deployed or purged, result is same. Must build fresh.
PRIORITY
CRITICAL — Bilbo is target for dispatch response but currently a ghost.
EXECUTOR: Awaiting assignment (Allegro can execute)
Depends on: #312 (Bezalel template)
Blocks: #285 (Evennia), #286 (Bala Zars)

Current State vs. Issue Assumptions (2026-04-04)
The issue says Bilbo has "NO EARS and NO VOICE" and "literally cannot hear or respond" with everything marked ❌. That's no longer accurate:

Remaining Work
