Wizard Houses Launch Report — 2026-03-29
Purpose: Record the first real launch of the Ezra and Bezalel wizard houses, with exact world-state proof, current blockers, and the remaining cutover path.
Summary
Delivered:
- Ezra house launched on the Hermes VPS
- Bezalel house launched on the TestBed VPS
- Ezra configured as a Hermes house with an OpenClaw sidecar shell
- Bezalel configured as a pure Hermes forge house
- canon, house charters, and deployment doctrine committed into
timmy-home
Not yet complete:
- acceptance criteria requiring four-way Telegram discussion are still blocked on BotFather bot creation through Alexander's real Telegram user session
- live model-response proof from each wizard house is not yet considered final-world-state complete
- Ezra's OpenClaw sidecar is installed and wired, but not yet accepted as fully proven for the Telegram scenario

Host allocation
Ezra
- host name:
Hermes - public IP:
143.198.27.163 - role: repo / architecture / Gitea wizard house
Bezalel
- host name:
TestBed - public IP:
67.205.155.108 - role: forge / test / optimization wizard house
Filesystem layout proof
Ezra host
Observed directories:
/root/wizards/ezra/hermes-agent/root/wizards/ezra/home/root/wizards/ezra/openclaw-workspace/root/.openclaw-ezra
Bezalel host
Observed directories:
/root/wizards/bezalel/hermes-agent/root/wizards/bezalel/home
Service proof
Ezra services
Installed:
hermes-ezra.serviceopenclaw-ezra.service
Observed command:
ssh root@143.198.27.163 'systemctl is-active hermes-ezra.service openclaw-ezra.service'
Observed output during verification:
active
activating
Interpretation:
- Hermes Ezra was active
- OpenClaw Ezra was still in activation during the check, so the sidecar is not yet treated as final-proven complete
Bezalel service
Installed:
hermes-bezalel.service
Observed command:
ssh root@67.205.155.108 'systemctl is-active hermes-bezalel.service'
Observed output:
active
Hermes API health proof
Ezra
Observed command:
ssh root@143.198.27.163 'curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8643/health'
Observed output:
{"status": "ok", "platform": "hermes-agent"}
Bezalel
Observed command:
ssh root@67.205.155.108 'curl -s http://127.0.0.1:8644/health'
Observed output:
{"status": "ok", "platform": "hermes-agent"}
Interpretation:
- both Hermes houses responded on their dedicated local API ports
- this is strong infrastructure proof that the houses are alive as services
Canon and charter proof
The repo now defines the intended law of the houses:
- local Timmy remains sovereign control plane
- Ezra is the Claude-Hermes archivist house
- Bezalel is the Codex-Hermes artificer house
- OpenClaw may be Ezra's robe, not Ezra's bones
- Bezalel remains closer to the forge with no sidecar shell by default
These decisions are captured in:
specs/timmy-ezra-bezalel-canon-sheet.mdspecs/hermes-ezra-house-charter.mdspecs/hermes-bezalel-house-charter.mddecisions.md
Telegram cutover proof / current state
Known group:
Timmy Time- chat id:
-1003664764329
Bots now created by Alexander:
@EzraTimeBot@BezazelTimeBot
Prepared artifact:
specs/wizard-telegram-bot-cutover.mdscripts/wire_wizard_telegram_bots.sh
Completed wiring step:
- Ezra token installed into
/root/wizards/ezra/home/.env - Bezalel token installed into
/root/wizards/bezalel/home/.env - Telegram package installed into both Hermes venvs
- both houses restarted after token wiring
Direct Bot API proof:
- local verification against the Bot API returned:
EzraTimeBot/ first nameEzraBezazelTimeBot/ first nameBezazel
- membership + send proof succeeded for all three active bots in the group:
- Timmy → message
249 - Ezra → message
250 - Bezalel → message
251
- Timmy → message
- follow-up discussion messages also posted successfully:
- Timmy → message
252 - Ezra → message
253 - Bezalel → message
254
- Timmy → message
Interpretation:
- the wizard bots exist
- they are in the correct Telegram group
- they can post into the group successfully
- the group now contains a real multi-bot discussion among Timmy, Ezra, and Bezalel
Remaining acceptance gap:
- to satisfy the exact four-party requirement, Alexander still needs to post one message into the group so the discussion includes:
- Alexander
- Timmy
- Ezra
- Bezalel
Honest status on live model proof
Direct wizard-chat verification now differs by house.
Bezalel
Bezalel is now awake on a real Codex-backed Hermes path.
World-state changes:
- copied a working
auth.jsoncontainingopenai-codexcredentials into/root/wizards/bezalel/home/auth.json - switched Bezalel config to:
provider: openai-codexmodel: gpt-5.4
Proof:
ssh root@67.205.155.108 "bash -lc 'cd /root/wizards/bezalel/hermes-agent && HERMES_HOME=/root/wizards/bezalel/home .venv/bin/python /tmp/check_runtime_provider.py openai-codex'"
returned runtime credentials from the Hermes auth store with:
- provider
openai-codex - base URL
https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex - non-empty access token
Direct chat proof:
ssh root@67.205.155.108 "bash -lc 'cd /root/wizards/bezalel/hermes-agent && HERMES_HOME=/root/wizards/bezalel/home .venv/bin/hermes chat -q \"Reply with exactly: BEZALEL_CODEX_AWAKE\" -Q --provider openai-codex --model gpt-5.4'"
Observed output included:
BEZALEL_CODEX_AWAKE
session_id: 20260329_185219_1c4787
Interpretation:
- Bezalel is awake on the intended Codex-backed Hermes lane
Ezra
Ezra remains infrastructure-alive but inference-blocked for now.
Current blocker:
- Anthropic credentials did not carry through as valid Anthropic auth in Ezra's Hermes house
- additionally, Alexander reported being out of Anthropic quota until later
Interpretation:
- Ezra's Hermes and Telegram shell layers are present
- Ezra should not be treated as inference-ready until Anthropic auth is repaired or Ezra is temporarily rerouted
Remaining work
- Create Ezra bot in BotFather
- Create Bezalel bot in BotFather
- Add both to the
Timmy TimeTelegram group - Run
scripts/wire_wizard_telegram_bots.sh <ezra_token> <bezalel_token> - Restart Ezra/Bezalel services
- Prove distinct replies from:
- Alexander
- Timmy
- Ezra
- Bezalel
- Tighten provider-auth proof so both houses can answer directly with console-provable success
Verdict
This launch is real and worth keeping.
What is complete:
- named houses exist
- doctrine exists
- services exist
- health endpoints answered
- Gitea-tracked artifacts exist
What is not complete:
- Telegram BotFather cutover
- four-way acceptance chat
- final live-model proof for both wizard houses
This report should be used as the review artifact for Alexander's evaluation in Gitea.
