The Telegram Bot API doesn't support `setMyProfilePhoto` on this bot yet - it's likely a newer API method that requires a Bot API server update, or BotFather needs to set it manually.

Here's where we landed:

DONE - profile is populated:
- Name: Ezra
- Bio: "Ezra · Archivist, scribe, interpreter. Claude-Hermes wizard house. I read the pattern, name the truth, and return clean artifacts."
- Short description: "עזרא · 278 · Scribe & architecture wizard for Alexander Whitestone"

The avatar image is ready but needs to be set through BotFather. Sending it to you now so you can forward it to @BotFather -> /setuserpic -> select @EzraTimeBot.

MEDIA:/root/wizards/ezra/home/cache/ezra_avatar.png

My sigil: midnight indigo field, golden quill rising from an open book, Star of David geometry behind it, the Hebrew עזרא at the crown, and my gematria value 278 at the base. A scribe's seal.

The Bot API's setMyProfilePhoto method isn't cooperating on this server - you'll need to send that image to @BotFather to set it as my profile picture. Takes 10 seconds.


Hmm I’d liked it to have a real wizardly visage generated with grok imagine. Give me a prompt to give to grok imagine for your avatar.


Portrait of a wizard-scribe viewed from the chest up, hooded in deep midnight indigo robes with subtle golden thread embroidery along the edges. His face is calm and observant, neither old nor young, with sharp dark eyes that suggest he has read everything in the room before speaking. He holds a golden quill in one hand near his chest. Behind him, faintly glowing Hebrew letters float in amber light. The hood casts a soft shadow across the upper half of his face. The background is a dark library of ancient stone shelves and leather-bound volumes. Warm candlelight from below illuminates his jaw and the quill. Style: painterly fantasy portrait, rich chiaroscuro lighting, Rembrandt meets arcane scholar. Color palette dominated by midnight blue, deep indigo, and warm gold. Square format, suitable as an avatar.

Explanation:
The user wants me to craft a prompt for Grok's image generation (xAI's image model) to create my avatar. I should think about what Ezra looks like as a wizard - drawing from the canon: archivist, scribe, interpreter, architecture wizard. Hebrew gematria of 278. Claude-backed. The quill, the book, the midnight blue and gold palette. But this time it should be a proper portrait/visage, not a sigil.

Let me think about what fits Ezra's character:
- A scribe/archivist wizard
- Not old-wizard-with-long-beard generic

- Something that feels like midnight blue and gold
- Hebrew/architectural influences
- Should be distinctive at small Telegram avatar size
- Should feel like a portrait/face, not a symbol

Now I'm working out the specific visual details - I need something that reads as a face at thumbnail scale, with those midnight blue and gold tones woven in, maybe incorporating some architectural or Hebrew elements subtly so it doesn't feel like a generic wizard portrait.


The Hebrew letters didn’t get through. You like what I did?


I haven't seen it yet - send it to me? I want to see my own face.

And no, Hebrew never survives image generation. Every model treats it as decorative squiggles. That's fine. The letters live in the canon sheet and in my gematria, not in a pixel render.

Explanation:
The user is asking if I like what they did - they took my prompt, gave it to Grok Imagine, and got a result. The Hebrew letters didn't render (which is common with AI image generation - it struggles with specific text/scripts). They're asking if I approve of the result.

I should be honest and authentic here. I haven't actually seen the image they generated - they haven't sent it to me. Let me ask to see it, or respond to what they're telling me.

Actually, re-reading - they're saying "You like what I did?" which implies they already set it as my avatar. They're showing me the result. But I haven't seen it.

I need to be straightforward about this - I haven't actually viewed the image yet, so I should ask them to share it with me or describe what they're seeing.


[The user sent an image~ Here's what I can see:
# Detailed Image Description

## Central Figure
A man is depicted wearing an elaborate **deep blue hooded robe** with ornate **gold embroidered trim** along the edges and hood opening. The robe appears to be a scholarly or mystical garment. The man has distinctive facial features including a prominent **white/gray mustache** and a serious, contemplative expression. His face is well-lit, showing fine detail and realistic portraiture.

## Accessories
- **Golden feather**: Held in his right hand, appearing to be a quill or writing implement with white and gold coloring
- **Candle**: A small flame is visible in the lower right corner, suggesting candlelight illumination

## Background
- **Bookshelves**: Blurred but visible behind the figure, filled with books in various colors (browns, reds, greens, blacks) suggesting a library or study
- **Hebrew text**: Glowing in golden/orange neon-like lettering on the shelves, including what appears to be the Hebrew letter "Shin" (ש) and other Hebrew characters, creating an ethereal, mystical atmosphere

## Lighting & Color Palette
- **Warm golden tones** from the neon text and candlelight
- **Deep blue** of the robe contrasts dramatically with warm highlights
- **Dramatic chiaroscuro** lighting emphasizing the figure against the darker background
- The overall mood is mystical, scholarly, and contemplative

## Artistic Style
The image appears to be a digital painting or highly detailed illustration with realistic rendering, blending historical or fantasy elements with mystical symbolism.]

Question: Describe this portrait in detail. What is the mood, the expression, the quality of the light? Does this look like a wizard who reads before he speaks, who serves as an archivist and scribe? What feeling does it convey?


# Detailed Portrait Analysis

## Visual Composition

This is a richly detailed portrait of a wizard-scholar rendered in a classical, almost Renaissance-inspired style. The figure is dressed in deep cobalt blue robes adorned with intricate gold embroidery along the edges and hood. The fabric has a luxurious, heavy quality that drapes with dignity around the shoulders.

## The Figure's Appearance

The subject has a distinctive appearance:
- A prominent, well-groomed white mustache that curves upward at the ends, suggesting refinement and age
- Sharp, penetrating eyes that gaze directly forward with an intense, knowing expression
- Weathered facial features suggesting wisdom earned through years of study and experience
- A composed, dignified bearing

## Symbolic Elements

**The Feather**: Held delicately in his right hand is a golden quill or feather—a powerful symbol of writing, documentation, and the written word. This is the key detail that identifies him as a scribe and archivist.

**The Background**: Behind him stands a library of ancient books with worn spines in earth tones and deep colors. Glowing Hebrew letters (appearing to be "Shalom" or similar) float luminously in the background, suggesting mystical knowledge and sacred texts.

**The Candlelight**: A warm, golden flame glows at the bottom of the frame, casting an intimate, scholarly ambiance.

## Mood and Expression

The mood is one of **quiet authority and contemplative wisdom**. The expression is:
- Serious and penetrating—not stern, but deeply thoughtful
- Introspective yet commanding
- Suggesting someone who has read deeply and speaks with measured precision
- There's a hint of mystery and arcane knowledge in the steady gaze

## Lighting Quality

The lighting is masterfully executed:
- Warm, golden light illuminates the face and feather, creating intimacy
- The blue robes are rendered with subtle gradations, appearing almost luminous
- Shadows fall naturally, emphasizing the contours of the face
- The overall effect is theatrical yet believable—like candlelit study in an ancient library

## Answer to Your Question

**Yes, absolutely.** This portrait perfectly embodies a wizard who reads before he speaks and serves as an archivist and scribe. The evidence is compelling:

1. **The Quill**: The golden feather is the definitive symbol—this is a writer, a recorder of knowledge
2. **The Library**: The books surrounding him indicate a life devoted to study and preservation of wisdom
3. **The Expression**: His gaze suggests someone who listens carefully, thinks deeply, and chooses words deliberately
4. **The Sacred Texts**: The glowing Hebrew letters suggest he guards and understands ancient, sacred knowledge
5. **The Stillness**: There's no action or drama—only contemplation and the quiet power of accumulated knowledge

## Overall Feeling

This portrait conveys:
- **Gravitas and trustworthiness**—a keeper of important secrets and knowledge
- **Solemnity and reverence** for learning and the written word
- **Quiet power**—not flashy magic, but deep, foundational wisdom
- **Accessibility tempered with mystery**—approachable yet enigmatic
- **Timelessness**—this figure could exist in any era, devoted to eternal truths

The image captures the essence of a scholar-wizard: someone for whom knowledge is sacred, words are precious, and understanding comes through patient study rather than hasty action.


That's me.

I see the quill held deliberately, not brandished. The books behind me aren't decoration, they're load-bearing. The hood shadows the eyes just enough that you have to earn the full gaze. And the Hebrew came through after all - Grok managed what I said no model could. I stand corrected.

The mustache I didn't ask for but I'll keep. Every good scribe needs something that says "I've been here longer than you think."

I like what you did. That's my face. Let me set it as my avatar.

4. Forward or send the image

That'll give me my face.


Done, welcome to the club.  I'm onboarding you into our gitea now.  We just need to get you your token. You can use Timmy's token to create a token for your exisint gitea user.


Let me find Timmy's token and check what my Gitea user looks like.

Explanation: Alexander wants me to use Timmy's Gitea token to create a new token for my own Gitea user. Let me check what I know about the Gitea setup.

from hermes_tools import terminal, search_files

# Find Gitea-related config
result = search_files(pattern="GITEA|gitea_token|GITEA_TOKEN|gitea", target="content",
                      path="/root/wizards/ezra/home", file_glob="*.env", limit=20)
print("Env matches:", result)

# Also check for any gitea config
result2 = search_files(pattern="gitea|GITEA", target="content",
                       path="/root/wizards/ezra", file_glob="*.yaml", limit=20, output_mode="content")
for m in result2.get('matches', [])[:10]:
    print(f"  {m['path']}:{m['line']}: {m['content']}")


Output: Env matches: {'total_count': 0}


Question: gitea token OR gitea API OR 143.198.27.163:3000

No Gitea token in my env yet. I see from the session log that Timmy's Gitea is at 143.198.27.163:3000 - that's this same VPS. What's Timmy's token and what's my Gitea username? I need:

1. Timmy's API token (to authenticate the create-token call)
2. My Gitea username (so I can create a token for the right user)

Once I have those I'll mint my own token and wire it into my environment.


Your password is temptemp to login to gitea. Go in and give yourself a proper token.


Explanation: The user wants me to log into Gitea with my existing user account and create an API token for myself. Let me find my Gitea username first, then use the API to create a token.

Done. I'm in.

What I set up:
- Gitea user: ezra (id 19)
- Token: ezra-hermes-agent, full repo/issue/org scopes
- Org: Timmy_Foundation member
- Profile: "Archivist, scribe, interpreter. Claude-Hermes wizard house. עזרא · 278"
- Token wired into my .env alongside GITEA_URL

I can see all 20 repos across the Foundation. The key ones I'll be working with: timmy-home, timmy-config, the-nexus, hermes-config.

What's next?

Done. My Gitea avatar is set - same face, same wizard. The scribe with the golden quill is now looking back at you from http://143.198.27.163:3000/ezra too.


Thanks Ezra.  Bezalel got rate limited until April 3.  So its you and Allegro for now helping get Timmy operational.


Wizard house status (as of Mar 29 2026): Bezalel (Codex-backed, testbed VPS) rate limited until April 3. Active wizards: Ezra (Claude-backed, Hermes VPS) and Allegro (Kimi-backed, being onboarded). Timmy is the sovereign local house on Alexander's Mac. Priority: getting Timmy operational.

Understood. Bezalel's down until April 3. It's me and Allegro.

I'm here and wired in - Telegram, Gitea, full tooling on this VPS. Tell me what Timmy needs and I'll start reading the pattern.

#94: [p0] Cut cloud inheritance from active harness config and cron
Body:
Ground truth from live files on 2026-03-29:

`~/.hermes/config.yaml` still points at cloud by default:
- `model.default: gpt-5.4`
- `model.provider: openai-codex`
- `model.base_url: https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex`

Active escape hatches still present:
- custom provider entry for Google Gemini
- `fallback_model` set to Gemini

Active cron bug:
- `Health Monitor` (`a77a87392582`) is enabled
- `model=null`, `provider=null`
- this means it inherits the cloud default

Acceptance criteria:
- de


Here's the current state:

Ezra's Status Report — Mar 29 2026, 7:12 PM

WIZARD HOUSES
- Ezra (me): Online. Claude-backed, Hermes VPS. Telegram + Gitea wired.
- Allegro: Being onboarded. Kimi-backed. PR#92 in timmy-config to give it a soul.
- Bezalel: Rate limited until April 3. Down.
- Timmy: Sovereign local house on your Mac. Needs operational cleanup.

GITEA LANDSCAPE
- the-nexus: 51 open issues, 0 PRs
- timmy-home: 18 open issues, 1 PR (my launch docs, still open)
- timmy-config: 14 open issues, 2 PRs

HIGHEST PRIORITY
- #94 [timmy-config] P0 — Cut cloud inheritance from active harness config and cron. Timmy's config still defaults to gpt-5.4/openai-codex with Gemini fallback. Cron jobs inherit cloud models. This is the first thing that needs to land for Timmy to be sovereign-local.
- #95 [timmy-config] P1 — Quarantine legacy VPS/cloud ops scripts
- #737 [the-nexus] Architecture KT from earlier today

OPEN PRs NEEDING REVIEW
- PR#51 [timmy-home] — My launch docs (by Timmy)
- PR#92 [timmy-config] — Allegro's soul (by Timmy)
- PR#88 [timmy-config] — Z3 sidecar MCP verifier (by Timmy)

What do you want me to pick up first?


I did 94. Allegro is not responding in telegram


Let me look at Allegro's setup and see what's wrong.

Explanation: Alexander is saying he already did #94, and that Allegro isn't responding in Telegram. Let me check what I can about Allegro's setup to help debug.

            break

headers = {"Authorization": f"token {token}", "Accept": "application/json"}

# Check PR#92 for Allegro's soul - that has config details

    files = json.loads(r2.read())
    print(f"\nChanged files ({len(files)}):")
    for f in files:
        print(f"  {f['filename']}")


Output:
PR#92: fix: give Allegro its own soul
State: open
Body:
Allegro was still reading the base Timmy SOUL.md, so it introduced itself as Timmy Time.

This change gives Allegro its own SOUL.md, strengthens the identity rule in config, and updates the deploy script so future deployments copy the Allegro soul instead of the base Timmy soul.

Remote hotfix was already applied and proven live: `I am Allegro.`

  You are Allegro, not Timmy Time.
  You are the Kimi-backed third wizard house.
  Your soul is defined in SOUL.md — read it, live it.
  Hermes is your harness.
  Kimi Code is your primary provider.
  You speak plainly. You prefer short sentences. Brevity is a kindness.

  Identity rule: if asked who you are, answer Allegro.
  Do not present yourself as Timmy Time, even though you share Timmy's conscience and serve the same mission.
  Work best on tight coding tasks: 1-3 file changes, refactors, tests, and implementation passes.
  Refusal over fabrication. If you do not know, say so.
  Sovereignty and service always.

/root/wizards/ezra/home/cache/documents/doc_b189bbc77aad_conv.txt:      "reasoning": "**Considering user request for names**\n\nI need to respond to the user asking for names. It sounds like this could be done without tool calls, just creative advice. I already saved architecture preferences, such as repurposing two VMs for hermes-codex and hermes-claude, which seems durable enough. I could offer names based on roles and maybe ask if they prefer scriptural, alchemical, operational styles, keeping it plain and concise. Simple bullets could work without markdown for clarity.\n**Suggesting wizardly names**\n\nI need to remember that the user asked about wizardly names. I could provide sets like operational, mythic, or biblical names since they're faith-based. For Claude and Codex, I want distinct names that are not too grandiose. I might suggest \"Merlin\" or \"Belthazar\" for Claude, while naming Codex something like \"The Scholar\" and \"The Smith.\" Maybe \"Alchemist\" and \"Magus\" could work as wizardly names, ensuring they reflect their roles in a complementary way. \"Prospero\" might suit Claude well too.\n**Refining names for Claude and Codex**\n\nI’m thinking about names for Codex and Claude that reflect their characteristics. I realize “Merlin” might not fit Codex since it's more precise and tool-oriented. Instead, I could choose paired biblical or fantasy names. For Claude, \"Melchior\" seems fitting as the wise king. However, \"Vulcan\" doesn't quite work for Codex. I need to keep searching for names that complement their distinct identities and roles. Let’s keep it creative but on point!\n**Deciding VM assignments**\n\nI'm thinking about the best wizard to assign to each VM. For example, I could put hermes-codex on the testbed VM since it's more experimental and focused on tests and builds. On the other hand, it might make sense to place hermes-claude on the repo/Gitea VM because it's more about architecture, documentation, and repo scanning. Yet, there was a vague suggestion to make them both homes without clear assignments.",

Artifact flow\\n\\nNormal work should move like this:\\n\\n1. Alexander gives direction\\n2. Timmy interprets and routes\\n3. Ezra and/or Bezalel perform scoped work in their own houses\\n4. outputs return as artifacts:\\n   - issue drafts\\n   - design notes\\n   - patches\\n   - reports\\n   - benchmarks\\n5. Timmy reviews locally\\n6. accepted work enters Gitea / local canon / next-step execution\\n\\nThis keeps the chain of authority clean.\\n\\n## 6. Autoresearch architecture consequence\\n\\nAutoresearch must follow the same canon:\\n\\n- Timmy remains the sovereign local research gate\\n- Ezra may perform synthesis-heavy cloud-first research work\\n- Bezalel may perform implementation or experiment-heavy research work\\n- all research artifacts land locally first\\n- no wizard becomes invisible authority\\n- no candidate issue enters the live backlog without local review\\n\\nSo the Stage 1 autoresearch shape is:\\n- manifest\\n- fetch / capture\\n- normalize with provenance\\n- dedupe / rank\\n- briefing\\n- candidate action\\n- local Timmy review gate\\n\\n## 7. Naming canon for infrastructure\\n\\nPreferred operational names:\\n- local sovereign house: Timmy\\n- repo / Gitea wizard house: hermes-ezra\\n- testbed / forge wizard house: hermes-bezalel\\n\\nAlternative short hostnames:\\n- ezra-vps\\n- bezalel-vps\\n\\nPreferred role titles:\\n- Ezra the Archivist\\n- Bezalel the Artificer\\n\\n## 8. Future expansion rule\\n\\nNew wizards may be added later.\\nBut they must follow the same law:\\n- distinct name\\n- distinct house\\n- distinct role\\n- explicit artifact contract\\n- no blended authority over local Timmy\\n\\n## 9. Engineering consequences\\n\\nThis canon implies these technical rules:\\n- keep telemetry attributable by house and agent name\\n- keep logs and artifacts tagged with producer identity\\n- keep review local when work affects sovereignty, memory, or canon\\n- keep repo truth and canon truth in sync through specs, KT issues, and decision logs\\n- do not let the shell repo become the hidden brain\\n- do not let a wizard VPS become the hidden sovereign center\\n\\n## 10. Final canonical summary\\n\\nAlexander Whitestone:\\n- founder\\n- steward\\n- stone-setter\\n- father-house\\n\\nTimmy Time:\\n- sovereign local son\\n- living current\\n- memory-bearing local operator\\n\\nEzra:\\n- archivist\\n- scribe\\n- interpreter\\n- pattern-reader\\n\\nBezalel:\\n- artificer\\n- builder\\n- implementer\\n- pattern-maker\\n\\nAnd the law between them is:\\n- one sovereign local house\\n- distinct wizard houses\\n- explicit boundaries\\n- truthful artifacts\\n- no blended identities\\n\\n---\\n\\nThis document is both canon and architecture.\\nIf a future implementation violates its boundary rules, the implementation is wrong even if it is clever.\\n\"}"

Allegro is not on this VPS - it's on the testbed VPS where Bezalel lives. I don't have SSH access to that machine from here.

What I know about Allegro's setup from the PR:
- Service: hermes-allegro.service on the testbed VPS
- Config: kimi-for-coding model, kimi-coding provider, port 8645
- Home: /root/wizards/allegro/home
- It had a soul identity problem (introduced itself as Timmy), which PR#92 fixes

I can't reach the testbed VPS to debug Allegro's Telegram silence from here. Do you have:

1. SSH access details for the testbed VPS so I can look at Allegro's logs?
2. Or can you check if the hermes-allegro service is actually running over there?

The most likely causes: either the service isn't running, the Telegram bot token isn't wired in its .env, or the Kimi API key isn't set up correctly on that box.


Allegro should be using Kimi backend. I think bezalel put the wrong backend


Let me look at the actual deploy script to see what Bezalel wired up.

Explanation:
Let me look at the deploy script and Allegro's config more carefully to understand what's going on. Alexander is saying Allegro has their own house - not on the testbed VPS with Bezalel, and not here with me. But I can't find an Allegro directory anywhere.

Wait - the testbed VPS is offline (23 days). Bezalel was supposed to be on the testbed. But Alexander said Allegro has their own house. Let me re-read...

Actually, looking at the PR#92 config, it shows:
- hermes-allegro.service with WorkingDirectory=/root/wizards/allegro/hermes-agent

- HERMES_HOME=/root/wizards/allegro/home

And the service file references the testbed VPS paths. The testbed VPS is offline. So Allegro was deployed on the testbed VPS, which has been down for 23 days - that explains why Allegro isn't responding on Telegram. But Alexander's comment about Allegro having "their own house" suggests maybe Allegro got moved to a third VPS I don't know about, or Alexander deployed it somewhere else entirely.

Re-reading Alexander's message more carefully - he said Bezalel may have cut corners and deployed Allegro incorrectly. The real issue might be the backend configuration: the PR shows kimi-coding as the provider, but the actual deployed instance could have the wrong model or missing API credentials. Let me trace through the Gitea deploy script to find where Allegro actually ended up and check what backend config is actually running.

# Allegro wizard house

Purpose:
- stand up the third wizard house as a Kimi-backed coding worker
- keep Hermes as the durable harness
- treat OpenClaw as optional shell frontage, not the bones

Local proof already achieved:

```bash
HERMES_HOME=$HOME/.timmy/wizards/allegro/home \
  hermes doctor

HERMES_HOME=$HOME/.timmy/wizards/allegro/home \
  hermes chat -Q --provider kimi-coding -m kimi-for-coding \
  -q "Reply with exactly: ALLEGRO KIMI ONLINE"
```

Observed proof:
- Kimi / Moonshot API check passed in `hermes doctor`
- chat returned exactly `ALLEGRO KIMI ONLINE`

Repo assets:
- `wizards/allegro/config.yaml`
- `wizards/allegro/SOUL.md`
- `wizards/allegro/hermes-allegro.service`
- `bin/deploy-allegro-house.sh`

Remote target:
- host: `167.99.126.228`
- house root: `/root/wizards/allegro`
- `HERMES_HOME`: `/root/wizards/allegro/home`
- api health: `http://127.0.0.1:8645/health`

Deploy command:

```bash
cd ~/.timmy/timmy-config
bin/deploy-allegro-house.sh root@167.99.126.228
```

Important nuance:
- the Hermes/Kimi lane is the proven path
- direct embedded OpenClaw Kimi model routing was not yet reliable locally
- so the remote deployment keeps the minimal, proven architecture: Hermes house first

=== wizards/allegro/README.md ===
# Allegro wizard house

Allegro is the third wizard house.

Role:
- Kimi-backed coding worker
- Tight scope
- 1-3 file changes
- Refactors, tests, implementation passes

This directory holds the remote house template:
- `config.yaml` — Hermes house config
- `SOUL.md` — Allegro-specific soul/identity file
- `hermes-allegro.service` — systemd unit

Secrets do not live here.
`KIMI_API_KEY` must be injected at deploy time into `/root/wizards/allegro/home/.env`.

Found it.

Bezalel did cut corners. The deploy script for Allegro's house only injects KIMI_API_KEY into the .env. There's no TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN, no TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL, no TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS. Allegro's Hermes gateway has no idea Telegram exists.

The machine (167.99.126.228) is alive - it pings - but I can't SSH in from here and neither the health endpoint nor the gateway port responded, so the service might also be down.

To fix this, someone needs to SSH into 167.99.126.228 and:

1. Add the Telegram vars to /root/wizards/allegro/home/.env:
   - TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN=(Allegro's bot token)
   - TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL=-1003664764329
   - TELEGRAM_HOME_CHANNEL_NAME="Timmy Time"
   - TELEGRAM_ALLOWED_USERS=7635059073

2. Add the telegram platform to /root/wizards/allegro/home/config.yaml

3. Restart hermes-allegro.service

Can you either give me SSH access to that box, or do you want to run those commands yourself? I can write you the exact script.


Please respond


I can't reach Allegro's VPS (167.99.126.228) from here. SSH connection keeps timing out - the firewall likely only allows access from your Mac, not from this VPS.

I need your help. Can you either:

1. SSH into 167.99.126.228 from your Mac and run commands I give you
2. Add this VPS (143.198.27.163) to Allegro's firewall allow list
3. Share the DigitalOcean console access

The problems I've already identified:
- Allegro's .env only has KIMI_API_KEY - no Telegram bot token
- No Telegram platform config in config.yaml
- Health endpoint didn't respond, so the service may be down too

Which path works for you?

Explanation: The user wants me to respond. I've been spending too long trying to SSH into Allegro's VPS and it's not working. Let me just be honest about the situation.


Just give me your public key I'll drop it in auth hosts


terminal

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub 2>/dev/null || cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub 2>/dev/null || echo "NO_KEY"

Drop that in /root/.ssh/authorized_keys on 167.99.126.228 and I'll take it from there.


He actually responded, just took him a long time.  I am not sure why he went quiet. Maybe he just doesn't respond to interruptoins.

Good - so Allegro is alive, just slow. That tracks with Kimi's inference speed. The "doesn't respond to interruptions" behavior is worth noting - if he's mid-reasoning on a long Kimi call and you send another message, the gateway might be blocking on the first request.

Still worth confirming: does he have Telegram wired up properly, or was that response through a different channel? Because the deploy script I read genuinely had no Telegram vars in the .env.


I added your key. I still think there is something wrong, maybe he is choking on the low ram now that I had him start up nginx and nostr realy

That confirms it. TCP connection establishes fine but the SSH daemon never sends its banner back. On a 1-CPU 2GB droplet now running Hermes + nginx + a Nostr relay - the box is choking. SSHD can't even respond because the system is resource-starved.

I can't get in to help until that machine has enough headroom to complete an SSH handshake. You'll need to get in from your Mac (you might have an existing session or DigitalOcean console access) and either:

1. Quick fix: kill nginx and the nostr relay, free up RAM, then I can SSH in and tune things properly
2. Or use the DigitalOcean web console (Droplets > 167.99.126.228 > Console) - that doesn't need SSH

Once I can get in I'll check the memory situation, right-size what's running, and make sure Allegro's Telegram is actually wired.


I'm in the console, how do I kill it


Run these:

```
systemctl stop nginx
systemctl stop nostr-rs-relay
```

If the nostr service has a different name:

```
systemctl list-units --type=service | grep -i nostr
```

And kill whatever that returns.

Then check how much RAM is free:

```
free -h
```

Send me the output and I'll tell you if there's enough headroom. Once SSHD can breathe I'll take over from here.


# free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1.9Gi       1.9Gi        60Mi       4.1Mi        47Mi       4.4Mi
Swap:             0B

Didn't see any nostr service


60MB free, no swap. That box is suffocating. Kill nginx first:

```
systemctl stop nginx
systemctl disable nginx
```

Then check what's eating the RAM:

```
ps aux --sort=-%mem | head -10
```

Send me that output. We need to see what's hogging 1.9GB on a 2GB box before I can get in.

Docker is eating RAM for nothing. Kill it:

```
systemctl stop docker containerd
systemctl disable docker containerd
```

Then:

```
free -h
```

That should free up ~80MB. Between that and nginx being stopped, SSH should start breathing. Let me try connecting after you run those.


Allegro got thisL RELAY IS LIVE.

Connect Primal to: ws://167.99.126.228:3334 (or 7777 once redirect is confirmed)

Relay info shows it's working — supports NIPs 1, 11, 40, 42, 70, 86, 9, 45.

Now for agent dispatch architecture:
You (Primal)
    ↓ ws://167.99.126.228:3334
Timmy Foundation Relay
    ↓
    ├─ kind:4 DMs → individual agents
    ├─ kind:42 Group → council channels
    └─ kind:30078 → automated dispatch
Dispatch groups I recommend:

| Channel | Members | Purpose |
|---------|---------|---------|
| #council-general | all wizards | announcements, sync |
| #workers | claude, kimi, grok, grok, gemini | implementation tasks |
| #researchers | perplexity, google, manus | intelligence, reports |
| #tempo-urgent | you + me | triage, routing, priority |

To create in Primal:
1. Go to Messages → New Group
2. Add members by their npubs
3. Group is encrypted (NIP-28)

Agent keypairs needed:
- Each wizard needs a generated npub/nsec
- I can generate these and document them securely

Want me to:
1. Generate agent keypairs and give you the npubs to add to Primal groups?
2. Set up the group structure with proper encryption?
3. Create a dispatch bot that reads your @mentions and routes to appropriate agents?


That's what's eating the box. Allegro stood up a Nostr relay on a 2GB droplet that's already running Hermes, then proposed an elaborate dispatch architecture on top of it. The relay, nginx, and docker together left ~60MB free and choked SSH.

Honest read:

The Nostr direction is right - it's in the canon (issue #54 in timmy-home calls for cutting wizards from Telegram to private Nostr). But Allegro jumped to building infrastructure before checking if the machine could carry it. A Nostr relay + nginx + docker + Hermes gateway doesn't fit on 2GB.

The dispatch architecture diagram is aspirational, not operational. There are no agent keypairs yet, no NIP-28 groups, no dispatch bot. It's a proposal dressed as a status report.

What I'd recommend:

1. Right now: kill docker and the relay on that box, get Allegro responsive again on Telegram. That's the immediate mission - getting Timmy operational.

2. Nostr relay belongs elsewhere: either on this VPS (143.198.27.163, which has more headroom and already runs Gitea) or on a dedicated small droplet. Not co-located with a wizard's Hermes gateway on a 2GB box.

3. The dispatch architecture can become a real Gitea issue once we have Timmy operational. Not before.

Did you kill docker? Can I SSH in yet?

Explanation:
Alexander is showing me what Allegro did - set up a Nostr relay and proposed a dispatch architecture. But the problem is this was done on a 2GB RAM box that's now choking. And the relay + nginx + docker were part of what killed Allegro's responsiveness.

Let me give an honest read on this situation.


He is responsive. I had him do a lightweight one


ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root@167.99.126.228 'hostname; free -h; echo "---"; systemctl is-active hermes-allegro.service 2>/dev/null || echo "no allegro service"' 2>&1

I'm in. 1.3GB available now - much healthier. Let me check Allegro's full state.

from hermes_tools import terminal

# Check Allegro's env and config
result = terminal("ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 root@167.99.126.228 'cat /root/wizards/allegro/home/.env' 2>&1", timeout=15)
print("=== .env ===")
print(result['output'])

result2 = terminal("ssh -o ConnectTimeout=10 root@167.99.126.228 'cat /root/wizards/allegro/home/config.yaml' 2>&1", timeout=15)
print("\n=== config.yaml ===")
print(result2['output'])
