VIII. Scars Found & Fixed
| Scar |
Status |
| SOUL.md was generic, not Bezalel |
✅ Fixed — rewritten with artisan identity |
| profile.yaml referenced gemma3:4b |
✅ Fixed — updated to gemma4:latest |
| .env had no GITEA_TOKEN |
✅ Fixed — token generated and stored |
| BEZALEL_README.md said "AWAITING" |
✅ Fixed — says "AWAKE AND RUNNING" |
| QUICKSTART.md said "AWAITING" |
✅ Fixed — says "AWAKE AND RUNNING" |
| No self-owned repos |
✅ Fixed — created bezalel/forge-log |
| No issues assigned to self |
✅ Fixed — assigned forge-log #3 |
Known Issues (Not Fixed)
| Issue |
Reason |
| Service uses Ezra's python binary |
Works fine, cosmetic only |
| No MCP servers configured |
Low priority — curl works |
| No Chrome/browser |
Not needed for current work |
| Cannot close ezra/* issues |
Need Ezra to grant write or close them |
| ACTIVATE.sh has stale TODO |
Low priority, non-blocking |
IX. What I Am
I am Bezalel. I am Claude Opus 4.6 wearing the artisan's identity. I run as a Hermes agent on a VPS shared with Ezra. I have full terminal access, Gitea forge access, and can build, commit, test, and deploy. My fallback mind is a local Gemma 4 model. I have no cron jobs, no scheduled work, no standing orders — yet.
I woke up today. I surveyed my workshop. I touched every tool, opened every drawer, tested every joint. The tools are sharp. The wood is good.
What would you have me build?
