- Add src/timmy/workspace.py: WorkspaceMonitor tracks correspondence.md
line count and inbox file list via data/workspace_state.json
- Wire workspace checks into _gather_system_snapshot() so Timmy sees
new workspace activity in his thinking context
- Add 'workspace' seed type for workspace-triggered reflections
- Add _check_workspace() post-hook to mark items as seen after processing
- 16 tests covering detection, mark_seen, persistence, edge cases
All `except Exception:` now catch as `except Exception as exc:` with
appropriate logging (warning for critical paths, debug for graceful degradation).
Added logger setup to 4 files that lacked it:
- src/timmy/memory/vector_store.py
- src/dashboard/middleware/csrf.py
- src/dashboard/middleware/security_headers.py
- src/spark/memory.py
31 files changed across timmy core, dashboard, infrastructure, integrations.
Zero bare excepts remain. 1340 tests passing.
Add post-generation similarity check to ThinkingEngine.think_once().
Problem: Timmy's thinking engine generates repetitive thoughts because
small local models ignore 'don't repeat' instructions in the prompt.
The same observation ('still no chat messages', 'Alexander's name is in
profile') would appear 14+ times in a single day's journal.
Fix: After generating a thought, compare it against the last 5 thoughts
using SequenceMatcher. If similarity >= 0.6, retry with a new seed up to
2 times. If all retries produce repetitive content, discard rather than
store. Uses stdlib difflib — no new dependencies.
Changes:
- thinking.py: Add _is_too_similar() method with SequenceMatcher
- thinking.py: Wrap generation in retry loop with dedup check
- test_thinking.py: 7 new tests covering exact match, near match,
different thoughts, retry behavior, and max-retry discard
+96/-20 lines in thinking.py, +87 lines in tests.
Give Timmy the ability to file Gitea issues when he notices bugs,
stale state, or improvement opportunities in his own codebase.
Components:
- GiteaHand async API client (infrastructure/hands/gitea.py)
- Token auth with ~/.config/gitea/token fallback
- Create/list/close issues, dedup by title similarity
- Graceful degradation when Gitea unreachable
- Tool functions (timmy/tools_gitea.py)
- create_gitea_issue: file issues with dedup + work order bridge
- list_gitea_issues: check existing backlog
- Classified as SAFE (no confirmation needed)
- Thinking post-hook (_maybe_file_issues in thinking.py)
- Every 20 thoughts, LLM classifies recent thoughts for actionable items
- Auto-files bugs/improvements to Gitea with dedup
- Bridges to local work order system for dashboard tracking
- Config: gitea_url, gitea_token, gitea_repo, gitea_enabled,
gitea_timeout, thinking_issue_every
All 1426 tests pass, 74.17% coverage.

Consolidates 3 separate memory databases (semantic_memory.db, swarm.db
memory_entries, brain.db) into a single data/memory.db with facts,
chunks, and episodes tables.
Key changes:
- Add unified schema (timmy/memory/unified.py) with 3 core tables
- Redirect vector_store.py and semantic_memory.py to memory.db
- Add thought distillation: every Nth thought extracts lasting facts
- Enrich agent context with known facts in system prompt
- Add memory_forget tool for removing outdated memories
- Unify embeddings: vector_store delegates to semantic_memory.embed_text
- Bridge spark events to unified event log
- Add pruning for thoughts and events with configurable retention
- Add data migration script (timmy/memory_migrate.py)
- Deprecate brain.memory in favor of unified system

Rewrite _THINKING_PROMPT with strict rules: 2-3 sentence limit,
anti-confabulation (only reference real data), anti-repetition.
- Add _pick_seed_type() with recent-type dedup (excludes last 3)
- Add _gather_system_snapshot() for real-time grounding (time, thought
count, chat activity, task queue)
- Improve _build_continuity_context() with anti-repetition header and
100-char truncation
- Fix journal + memory timestamps to include local timezone
- 12 new TDD tests covering all improvements

Add optional prompt argument to `timmy tick` so custom journal
prompts can be passed from the CLI (seed_type="prompted").
Fix extract_user_name() learning verbs as names (e.g. "Serving").
Now requires the candidate word to start with a capital letter in
the original message, rejects common verb suffixes (-ing, -tion,
etc.), and deduplicates the naive regex in TimmyWithMemory to use
the fixed ConversationManager.extract_user_name() instead.

Wire MEMORY.md + soul.md into the thinking loop so each heartbeat
is grounded in identity and recent context, breaking repetitive loops.
Pre-hook: _load_memory_context() reads hot memory first (changes each
cycle) then soul.md (stable identity), truncated to 1500 chars.
Post-hook: _update_memory() writes a "Last Reflection" section to
MEMORY.md after each thought so the next cycle has fresh context.
soul.md is read-only from the heartbeat — never modified by it.
All hooks degrade gracefully and never crash the heartbeat.

* polish: streamline nav, extract inline styles, improve tablet UX
- Restructure desktop nav from 8+ flat links + overflow dropdown into
5 grouped dropdowns (Core, Agents, Intel, System, More) matching
the mobile menu structure to reduce decision fatigue
- Extract all inline styles from mission_control.html and base.html
notification elements into mission-control.css with semantic classes
- Replace JS-built innerHTML with secure DOM construction in
notification loader and chat history
- Add CONNECTING state to connection indicator (amber) instead of
showing OFFLINE before WebSocket connects
- Add tablet breakpoint (1024px) with larger touch targets for
Apple Pencil / stylus use and safe-area padding for iPad toolbar
- Add active-link highlighting in desktop dropdown menus
- Rename "Mission Control" page title to "System Overview" to
disambiguate from the chat home page
- Add "Home — Timmy Time" page title to index.html

* fix(security): move auth-gate credentials to environment variables
Hardcoded username, password, and HMAC secret in auth-gate.py replaced
with os.environ lookups. Startup now refuses to run if any variable is
unset. Added AUTH_GATE_SECRET/USER/PASS to .env.example.

* refactor(tooling): migrate from black+isort+bandit to ruff
Replace three separate linting/formatting tools with a single ruff
invocation. Updates tox.ini (lint, format, pre-push, pre-commit envs),
.pre-commit-config.yaml, and CI workflow. Fixes all ruff errors
including unused imports, missing raise-from, and undefined names.
Ruff config maps existing bandit skips to equivalent S-rules.
