Executive Summary

You wake up to a cleaner field.

The fake backlog volume is gone. The real work is smaller, sharper, and closer to the final vision. Two high-leverage local-efficiency changes shipped overnight:

1. Trajectory sanitization now exists as real code with tests and merged PR proof.
2. Timmy's default runtime in timmy-config now points at local llama.cpp instead of Codex/cloud.

The system is not finished. But it is more honest than it was yesterday. That matters.

Overnight Production Ledger

Backlog burn-down

Starting state:

• roughly 80 assigned open issues
• 33 assigned open PRs
• much of that volume was duplicate agent churn rather than real frontier work

What changed:

• 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

Resulting active queue now:

• 8 assigned open issues
• 0 assigned open PRs

That is a massive truth-restoration win before any glamour work.

What Actually Shipped

1. Trajectory sanitization utility shipped

Issue closed by implementation:

• http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home/issues/26

Merged PR:

• http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home/pulls/27

Files added:

• scripts/trajectory_sanitize.py
• tests/test_trajectory_sanitize.py

What it does:

• redacts API keys, tokens, and passwords
• redacts non-allowlisted email addresses
• preserves Alexander's known addresses
• redacts non-allowlisted IPs and hostnames
• preserves the known VPS IP 143.198.27.163
• normalizes user-specific filesystem paths to ~/...
• sanitizes both .json and .jsonl
• is idempotent

TDD proof:

• RED first: test import/collection failed before implementation existed
• GREEN after implementation:
  • python3 -m pytest tests/test_trajectory_sanitize.py -q → pass
  • python3 -m pytest tests -q → pass

Why this matters:

• local learning gets safer
• training artifacts become exportable without dragging secrets into the pipeline
• this is one of the cleanest local-efficiency wins available: reduce cleanup cost on every future training cycle

2. Local llama.cpp became the default Timmy runtime

Issue closed by implementation:

• http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/issues/73

Merged PR:

• http://143.198.27.163:3000/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-config/pulls/77

Files added/changed:

• config.yaml
• tests/test_local_runtime_defaults.py

What changed:

• default model changed away from Codex/cloud default
• primary config now targets:
  • provider: custom
  • model: hermes4:14b
  • base URL: http://localhost:8081/v1
• local custom provider entry is pinned to hermes4:14b

TDD proof:

• RED first: failing assertion showed config still said openai-codex
• GREEN after patch:
  • python3 -m pytest tests/test_local_runtime_defaults.py -q → pass
  • python3 -m pytest tests -q → pass

Important honesty note:

• This proves the config default moved local-first.
• It does not yet prove the whole runtime is behaving locally end-to-end in every path.
• That proof frontier now lives in timmy-config#75 and timmy-config#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 against soul drift
• local throughput/freshness reporting needs to be surfaced more clearly

Red

• portal stack is not yet rebuilt on the clean backlog
• deterministic Morrowind pilot/reflex/trajectory chain is still in frontier state, not production state

Top 10 High-Leverage Local Efficiency Areas

This is the cleaned strategic list, not the old sludge pile. Three are already shipped. Seven remain open.

Shipped:

1. Local llama.cpp default runtime
2. Trajectory sanitization utility
3. Backlog de-noising / truth restoration

Open: 4. Trajectory export + sanitized handoff integration 5. Heartbeat through local Hermes sessions with proof 6. Local throughput/freshness visibility in model_health 7. Soul drift guardrails for doctrine-bearing files 8. Deterministic context compaction for long local sessions 9. Rebuild Timmy → Reflex → Pilot portal stack 10. Deterministic Morrowind pilot + reflex trajectory chain

Morning First 90 Minutes

If you want the highest-leverage morning sequence, do this:

First 30 minutes

• Open timmy-config#74
• wire the sanitized utility into the actual training handoff path
• require proof artifacts, not just config talk

Next 30 minutes

• 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 minutes

• Open timmy-config#76
• surface local throughput/freshness in model_health
• make the efficiency story visible instead of inferred

That sequence compounds. It turns the local-default change from a good config move into a measurable operating reality.

Risks and Watchpoints

1. False localness Moving defaults to local is good. Assuming all paths are now local without proof is bad.

2. Soul drift through convenience Identity-bearing files still need explicit guardrails. This remains open work.

3. Portal romance outrunning harness truth The portal stack matters, but it should not outrun heartbeat/harness integrity.

4. Backlog re-inflation The queue is clean now. If duplicate agent churn is not watched, it will bloat again.

Soundtrack

Local soundtrack asset:

• file:///Users/apayne/.timmy/timmy-config/assets/Vassal%20Rising.mp3

If the browser page is open, use the built-in player there.

Music video

I built a browser companion page with an animated hero scene and soundtrack controls. That is the morning "music video mode."

Bottom Line

The night was good.

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
• local runtime by default

You are not waking up to chaos. You are waking up to a shorter, truer road.
