Timmy Time Production Report

You are waking up to a shorter, truer road. The fake backlog is gone. Two real local-efficiency wins shipped overnight. The queue is now small enough to attack honestly.

Soundtrack / music video mode

Press play. The page is the music-video mode: sunrise, cross, local iron, and a pulse underneath the report.

~80 → 8assigned issues reduced to a real queue

33 → 0assigned PR backlog burned down

3real PRs merged

2local-efficiency wins shipped overnight

Executive summary

The biggest win was not writing more code. It was making the system tell the truth about what work is real.

Then two real local-efficiency wins landed: sanitized training artifacts, and local runtime by default. You are not waking up to chaos. You are waking up to a shorter, truer road.

Overnight production ledger

Backlog burn-down

Duplicate/noise PR backlog was closed out.
Duplicate issue clusters were collapsed.
Legacy sludge was retired.
Permanent escalation issue was left open but removed from Timmy’s active queue.

Real merged PRs

timmy-home#24 — research packet and Manus prompts
timmy-home#27 — trajectory sanitization utility
timmy-config#77 — local llama.cpp default runtime

What actually shipped

1. Trajectory sanitization utility shipped

Issue #26 closed by implementation in PR #27.

Files: scripts/trajectory_sanitize.py, tests/test_trajectory_sanitize.py
Redacts secrets, non-allowlisted emails, non-allowlisted IPs/hosts
Preserves Alexander’s known addresses and the known VPS IP
Normalizes user-specific paths to ~/...
Handles both JSON and JSONL
Idempotent

TDD proof: red first on import/collection failure, then green with python3 -m pytest tests/test_trajectory_sanitize.py -q and python3 -m pytest tests -q.

2. Local llama.cpp became the default Timmy runtime

Issue #73 closed by implementation in PR #77.

Config default now points to provider: custom
Model default now points to hermes4:14b
Base URL now points to http://localhost:8081/v1
Regression test prevents silent drift back to Codex/cloud default

TDD proof: red first on failing assertion 'openai-codex' == 'custom', then green after config patch.

Honesty note: this proves the config default moved local-first. It does not yet prove every runtime path is local end-to-end. That frontier now lives in #75 and #76.

Production state right now

Green

Backlog truthfulness
Local-first default at config level
Trajectory sanitization foundation
Durable research packet merged
No assigned PR sludge left open

Amber

Heartbeat still needs explicit local Hermes session proof
Trajectory export still needs clean handoff integration proof
Doctrine-bearing files still need formal guardrails
Local throughput/freshness reporting still needs surfacing

Red

Portal stack is not yet rebuilt on the clean backlog
Deterministic Morrowind pilot/reflex/trajectory chain is still frontier state

The clean queue for today

timmy-config

Top 10 high-leverage local-efficiency areas

Local llama.cpp default runtime — shipped
Trajectory sanitization utility — shipped
Backlog de-noising / truth restoration — shipped
Trajectory export + sanitized handoff integration
Heartbeat through local Hermes sessions with proof
Local throughput/freshness visibility in model_health
Soul drift guardrails for doctrine-bearing files
Deterministic context compaction for long local sessions
Rebuild Timmy → Reflex → Pilot portal stack
Deterministic Morrowind pilot + reflex trajectory chain

Morning first 90 minutes

First 30

Open timmy-config#74. Wire the sanitized utility into the actual training handoff path. Demand proof artifacts, not just config talk.

Next 30

Open timmy-config#75. Make heartbeat run through the real local Hermes path. Produce end-to-end proof with files, outputs, or session artifacts.

Final 30

Open timmy-config#76. Surface local throughput and freshness in model_health. Make the efficiency story visible instead of inferred.

Bottom line

You are not waking up to chaos. You are waking up to a smaller, more honest frontier.

The night was good. The queue is now short enough to hit hard. The next correct move is not to invent more work. It is to make the local path measurable, provable, and hard to accidentally betray.
