Context
The direct local mind is better than the Hermes-wrapped local agent.

Evidence:

  • ~/.timmy/test-results/local_decision_session_20260329_194101.md passed a short decision session
  • ~/.hermes/sessions/session_20260329_194141_be2c3a.json answered, but drifted into invented operational guidance
  • ~/.hermes/sessions/session_20260329_193422_8d243c.json failed grounded action entirely

We should not jump straight from "short chat works" to "full tool agent works".
The next frontier is disciplined Hermes-local short sessions.

Goal
Create a narrow Hermes-local session lane that produces clean, truthful, conservative short answers before attempting file/tool work.

Levers to test

  • shorter system framing
  • job-specific toolsets or no-tools lane
  • tighter prompt structure
  • context pruning / deterministic compaction
  • lower-temperature local defaults where appropriate

Acceptance criteria

  • a reproducible Hermes-local short-session test exists
  • the lane answers at least 5 conservative decision questions without inventing commands, config keys, or world state
  • proof session files are saved and linked in the PR
  • failure mode from session_20260329_194141_be2c3a.json is no longer reproduced in the new lane
  • docs explain when to use this discipline lane versus the harder grounded-action lane

PR proof required

  • merged PR with the new lane plus before/after evidence

Absorbed into timmy-home #91 (grammar-constrained generation) and #88 (prompt routing tiers). Closing.
