Bezalel Evennia World

Issue: timmy-home#536

This is the themed-room world plan and build scaffold for Bezalel, the forge-and-testbed wizard.

Rooms

Room	Description focus	Core connections
Limbo	the threshold between houses	Gatehouse
Gatehouse	guarded entry, travel runes, proof before trust	Limbo, Great Hall, The Portal Room
Great Hall	three-house maps, reports, shared table	Gatehouse, The Library of Bezalel, The Observatory, The Workshop
The Library of Bezalel	manuals, bridge schematics, technical memory	Great Hall
The Observatory	long-range signals toward Mac, VPS, and the wider net	Great Hall
The Workshop	forge + workbench, plans turned into working form	Great Hall, The Server Room, The Garden of Code
The Server Room	humming racks, heartbeat of the house	The Workshop
The Garden of Code	contemplative grove where ideas root before implementation	The Workshop
The Portal Room	three shimmering doorways aimed at Mac, VPS, and the net	Gatehouse

Characters

Character	Role	Starting room
Timmy	quiet builder and observer	Gatehouse
Bezalel	forge-and-testbed wizard	The Workshop
Marcus	old man with kind eyes, human warmth in the system	The Garden of Code
Kimi	scholar of context and meaning	The Library of Bezalel

Themed items

At least one durable item is placed in every major room, including:

Threshold Ledger
Three-House Map
Bridge Schematics
Compiler Manuals
Tri-Axis Telescope
Forge Anvil
Bridge Workbench
Heartbeat Console
Server Racks
Code Orchard
Stone Bench
Mac/VPS/Net portal markers

Portal travel commands

The Portal Room reserves three live command names:

mac
vps
net

Current behavior in the build scaffold:

each command is created as a real Evennia exit command
each command preserves explicit target metadata (Mac house, VPS house, Wider net)
until cross-world transport is wired, each portal routes through Limbo, the inter-world threshold room

This keeps the command surface real now while leaving honest room for later world-to-world linking.

Build script

python3 scripts/evennia/build_bezalel_world.py --plan

Inside an Evennia shell / runtime with the repo on PYTHONPATH, the same script can build the world idempotently:

python3 scripts/evennia/build_bezalel_world.py --password bezalel-world-dev

What it does:

creates or updates all 9 rooms
creates the exit graph
creates themed objects
creates or rehomes account-backed characters
creates the portal command exits with target metadata

Persistence note

The scaffold is written to be idempotent: rerunning the builder updates descriptions, destinations, and locations rather than creating duplicate world entities. That is the repo-side prerequisite for persistence across Evennia restarts.
