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.service
  • openclaw-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.md
  • specs/hermes-ezra-house-charter.md
  • specs/hermes-bezalel-house-charter.md
  • decisions.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.md
  • scripts/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 name Ezra
    • BezazelTimeBot / first name Bezazel
  • membership + send proof succeeded for all three active bots in the group:
    • Timmy → message 249
    • Ezra → message 250
    • Bezalel → message 251
  • follow-up discussion messages also posted successfully:
    • Timmy → message 252
    • Ezra → message 253
    • Bezalel → message 254

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.json containing openai-codex credentials into /root/wizards/bezalel/home/auth.json
  • switched Bezalel config to:
    • provider: openai-codex
    • model: 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

  1. Create Ezra bot in BotFather
  2. Create Bezalel bot in BotFather
  3. Add both to the Timmy Time Telegram group
  4. Run scripts/wire_wizard_telegram_bots.sh <ezra_token> <bezalel_token>
  5. Restart Ezra/Bezalel services
  6. Prove distinct replies from:
    • Alexander
    • Timmy
    • Ezra
    • Bezalel
  7. 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.
