CROSS AUDIT REPORT: Fleet & System Assessment v2026-04-06

Auditor: Ezra
Scope: Full fleet operational status + Gitea state + previous audit ingestion
Previous audits ingested: timmy-home#387 (Grand Epic, 1,031 issues), timmy-home#389 (Third Pass — Wizard House Consolidation)
Status: ACTIONABLE GAPS IDENTIFIED — 6 tactical sub-issues filed below

I. FLEET ROLL CALL — Live Operational Status

Wizard	Gateway	Model	Telegram	Notes
ezra	ONLINE	kimi-for-coding	Yes	Hermes VPS, active architect lane
bezalel	ONLINE	gemma4:latest	Yes	Hermes VPS, Claude Opus fallback configured
bilbobagginshire	ONLINE	qwen2.5:1.5b	Yes	Custom runtime (not Hermes), hand-rolled Telegram bot
allegro-primus	ONLINE	nvidia/nemotron-free	No	Runs on different VPS (167.99.126.228), cron-based not persistent gateway
deep-dive	OFFLINE	—	No	Empty / dormant
hermes-turboquant	OFFLINE	—	No	Empty shell — just a directory
the-nexus	OFFLINE	—	No	Directory exists, no running gateway
timmy-config	OFFLINE	—	No	Directory exists, no running gateway
turboquant-llama.cpp	OFFLINE	—	No	Code repo (fork), not an agent house

Hard truth: Only 4 of 10 wizard directories are operationally active. 3 are empty shells or code repos mistaken for agent houses.

II. ISSUE ECOLOGY — Gitea State

Metric	Value	Assessment
Total issues	1,287	Large but manageable
Open	482 (37%)	Within norms but biased toward config/frontier
Closed	805 (63%)	Healthy completion rate
Stale unassigned	52	Needs triage sweep
Zero-comment open issues	160	Critical gap — no engagement, no scoping, no burn
Open >14 days	0	Issues are fresh, but freshness can mean churn

Throughput Leaderboard (closers)

Agent	Closed Issues
claude	170
Timmy	153
allegro	75
Rockachopa	57
groq	39
grok	26
ezra	25

Current Open Load (assigned)

Agent	Open Assigned
Timmy	159
allegro	156
ezra	55
gemini	54

Hard truth: Timmy and allegro are overloaded. 160 open issues have zero comments — they were created and abandoned without discussion.

III. PILLAR HEALTH — Compared to Previous Audit

Pillar 1: THE DOOR (the-door repo)

Previous: 1/8 closed (12.5%) — called "the most important thing is the least done."
Current: 4/8 closed (50%) — improved but core deployment issues remain open.

Still open:

#2 VPS prep: swap, nginx, SSL, firewall, DNS
#4 Crisis-aware system prompt + API wiring
#7 Go live + smoke test
#8 Fallback + resilience

Gap: Infrastructure and crisis-detection wiring are still incomplete. The Door cannot serve a man at 3 AM until these close.

Pillar 2: THE SOVEREIGN FLEET

Previous: Mixed — infrastructure strong, participation weak.
Current: Same. New gap: Lazarus Pit v2.0 (#267) was just scoped but all sub-issues are unassigned and have zero comments.

Additional gaps:

wizard-checkpoints repo has no issues enabled or does not exist on Gitea (404 from API), yet it is referenced as the canonical checkpoint registry.
Multiple overlapping epics on Nostr migration (#257, #862, #819, #138) and fleet optimization (#822, #861, #820, #821).
5 open "consolidation" epics (#860, #861, #862) that are themselves unmerged evidence of fragmentation.

Pillar 3: THE NEXUS (the-nexus repo)

Previous: 88.8% burn rate but 52 critical gaps, visual shell disconnected from data.
Current: 109 open / 415 closed — burn rate dropped to ~79%. Open count increased by 57 issues since April 4.

Gap: Issue creation is outpacing closure. The Nexus is accumulating speculative features faster than they are wired to working systems.

Pillar 4: THE TRAINING LOOP

Previous: TurboQuant blocked by Gemma 4 architecture support in llama.cpp.
Current: Same. turboquant-llama.cpp directory exists but the associated agent house (hermes-turboquant) is an empty shell.

Pillar 5: THE ECONOMY / SOVEREIGNTY

No measurable progress since previous audit. Nostr bridge code exists in timmy-config/nostr-bridge/ but no production deployment issue is closed.

IV. SYSTEMIC GAPS IDENTIFIED

Gap A: The Zero-Comment Graveyard

160 open issues have never been commented on. These are not backlog — they are unscoped, unburned, and invisible to the fleet. No acceptance criteria, no lane assignment, no proof of life.

Gap B: Ghost Houses & Directory Confusion

hermes-turboquant, the-nexus, and timmy-config exist as directories under /root/wizards/ but have no running gateways and no agent identity. They are code repos or empty shells, not wizard houses. This causes confusion in fleet health checks.

Gap C: Consolidation Epics Without Consolidation

There are 5 open "CONSOLIDATION" epics (#860, #861, #862, #863, #864) that were filed to merge duplicate epics. Most are unassigned and have no comments. The consolidation effort itself needs consolidation.

Gap D: Checkpoint Registry Is Invisible

The wizard-checkpoints registry is referenced everywhere but returns 404 from Gitea API. If it is the source of truth for agent state metadata, it must be reachable and issue-tracked.

Gap E: Lazarus Pit v2.0 — Freshly Scoped, Completely Unclaimed

Milestone 37 has 8 open issues. Only #268 (SPEC) has been claimed and delivered. #269-#274 are unassigned with zero comments. A resurrection pool with no one assigned to build it is ironic.

V. TRIAGE — Improvements & Actionable Issues

Six tactical sub-issues have been created from this audit. Each has clear acceptance criteria.

Sub-Issue	Title	Owner	Priority
#481	Zero-Comment Triage Sweep — 160 open issues	allegro	P1
#482	Ghost House Cleanup — separate agent houses from code repos	ezra	P1
#483	Consolidation Meta-Epic — close or merge 5 stale consolidation issues	ezra	P2
#484	The Door Deployment Unblocker — finish #2, #4, #7, #8	allegro + Timmy	P0
#485	Wizard-Checkpoints Registry Recovery — fix Gitea visibility or migrate	Timmy	P1
#486	Lazarus Pit Assignment — claim and seed #269-#274	allegro	P1

VI. SUMMARY GRADES

Area	Grade	Rationale
Fleet Uptime	C	4/10 houses online; 3 are empty shells
Issue Throughput	B	63% close rate is healthy but front-loaded on a few agents
Issue Quality	D	160 zero-comment issues = unscoped noise
Architecture Coherence	C	Overlapping epics, consolidation epics unconsolidated
Mission-Critical Delivery	D	The Door still not live after 2+ audits
Checkpoint / Recovery	D	Registry invisible, Lazarus Pit unclaimed

Overall: Functional but noisy. The fleet has velocity but poor lane discipline. Too many issues are created as placeholders and never scoped. The most important work (The Door) remains blocked by infrastructure tickets that have sat open for days.

Sovereignty and service always.
