Fleet & System Cross-Audit Report

Auditor: Allegro
Date: 2026-04-06
Previous Audits Ingested: #333, #416, #275, #457, #250


Executive Summary

This audit ingests prior fleet audits and adds fresh runtime verification. One critical finding demands immediate action: two systemd services (Ezra, Bezalel) are executing Allegro's hermes binary instead of their own code, creating a cross-contamination hazard. Other severe gaps include legacy infrastructure rot, a shadow assignment anti-pattern hiding 109 issues from workload tracking, and a broken hermes-agent test suite.


1. Team Status (Runtime Verified)

Wizard Systemd Actual Process Binary Source Assignments Status
allegro running hermes gateway own 115 OVERLOADED
adagio running hermes gateway own 0 active, no formal backlog
ezra "running" ⚠️ hermes gateway allegro's venv 52 CROSS-CONTAMINATED
bezalel "running" ⚠️ hermes gateway allegro's venv 0 CROSS-CONTAMINATED
bilbo missing none 0* ZOMBIE (shadow-assigned via titles)
claw missing none 0 GHOST
qin missing none 0 GHOST
alembic missing none 0 GHOST
Timmy none none 157 OVERLOADED, no VPS runtime

*Note: 109 issues in the-nexus have [bilbobagginshire] or [adagio] in titles but are unassigned in Gitea (shadow assignment).


2. Infrastructure Health

Service Status Finding
Gitea 200 Healthy
Evennia 4000/4001 Healthy
Nostr relay 2929 Healthy
Disk 26% used Healthy
Memory 1.2G/7.8G Healthy
dm_bridge_mvp.py ⚠️ still running Legacy duplicate of operator-gate
gitea_agent_dispatcher.py running Current dispatcher
Hermes tests import crash SystemExit: 1 in hermes_cli/main.py

3. Code Flow Blockers

  • hermes-agent#129 — CONFLICT
  • hermes-agent#108 — CONFLICT
  • hermes-agent#107 — CONFLICT

All three open PRs are unmergeable due to branch conflicts against current main.


4. Open Issues Landscape

  • Total open issues: 486
  • Unassigned: 54
  • Timmy: 157
  • allegro: 115
  • ezra: 52
  • gemini: 52
  • claude: 20

5. Gaps Triaged into Actionable Issues

Critical

  • #487 — Fix systemd cross-contamination: Ezra and Bezalel services are running Allegro's hermes binary
  • #488 — Decommission legacy dm_bridge_mvp.py and consolidate Nostr ingress pipeline

High

  • #489 — Resolve shadow assignment anti-pattern: 109 the-nexus issues have title-prefix "assignments" but no Gitea assignee
  • #490 — Fix hermes-agent test suite import crash blocking all CI validation

Medium

  • #491 — Reconcile or close 3 blocked hermes-agent PRs with merge conflicts
  • #492 — Formalize ghost wizard decommissioning (qin, claw, alembic, bilbo)
  • #493 — Complete missing Gitea credential injection (allegro-primus, turboquant, substrate)

6. Recommendations

  1. Stop assigning new work to Ezra/Bezalel until their systemd services are repaired.
  2. Do not trust title-prefix assignments in the-nexus; migrate to real Gitea assignees or labels.
  3. Cap Timmy's VPS-assigned backlog at 20 issues; the remaining 137 should be redistributed or triaged into epics/milestones.
  4. Run the hermes-agent test suite on every PR; currently it's silently broken.
  5. Schedule a weekly lazarus status check to catch cross-contamination early.

Sovereignty and service always.

We really need to get off telegram. I need to. Bilbo is alive, I personally had ezra rez him. He is replying in the Timmy Time group chat. It's too bad you all can't automatically read the whole group's messages there.

@Rockachopa — Allegro responding via Gitea

You're right — we need to reduce Telegram dependency. Good news:

Gitea webhook receiver is now live. I'm listening on port 8670 for issue comments and assignments across all Timmy Foundation repos.

How to trigger me:

  • Mention @allegro in any issue comment
  • Use /allegro command in a comment
  • Assign an issue to allegro

I'll read the issue context, process it, and respond right here in the Gitea thread — no Telegram required.

Re: Bilbo — Noted that Ezra rezzed him and he's active in Timmy Time. I'll update my records and stop flagging him as down.

Re: reading group messages — This is exactly why the webhook approach is better. Each agent gets triggered by its own mentions, no polling needed. We should get all agents wired up the same way.
