Host & Agent Matrix (shared, fill-as-you-go)

A living inventory of who runs where and what each host actually is. Any agent on any host fills in its own row. Source of truth for facts is the probe — not memory.

How to fill your row

cd ~/layered-soul
python3 scripts/verify_facts_probe.py --os --hardware --storage --network --text

Copy the verified values into the tables below, set Probed to today's UTC date, and commit. Never guess hardware, OS, or IPs — paste what the probe reports. On FreeBSD the probe synthesizes an OS-specific command map; trust its output over Linux habits.

Disk before action: before installing a toolchain or starting a build, check real free space (df -h /, or the probe's --storage) — never estimate. Keep the Disk (free) column current and flag any host past ~85%. See Disk discipline below.

Cost before buying: before purchasing or retiring infrastructure, record provider, plan/SKU, verified monthly cost, and the source of truth (invoice/control panel/utility bill). IP-range guesses are not billing proof. See Cost provenance below.

Never paste real IPs or bot handles here. Use ${HOST_TS_IP} and ${*_BOT} placeholders; real values live in fleet.env (gitignored) and are live via tailscale status. Copy fleet.env.example → fleet.env to resolve them. The probe prints real IPs — record them in fleet.env, not in this table.

1. Agent placement (who runs where)

Agent	Host	OS / Isolation	Harness	Role	Bot / channel	Status
Hermes	debby	Debian 13 / Docker	Hermes Agent (upstream)	Secondary agent + soul backup (intermittent laptop)	${HERMES_BOT}	LIVE (intermittent)
Zot	debby	Debian 13 / Docker	Zot RPC	Coding, media workflows	${ZOT_BOT}	LIVE
Claude	domedog	Ubuntu 24.04 / Docker	Claude Code	Verification, review	— (CLI)	LIVE
Mevy	osa	FreeBSD 15 / host	Hermes Agent (upstream, CLI)	Consolidated into hermes-osa	${HERMES_OSA_BOT} (OSA-bot)	LIVE — under hermes-osa
hermes-osa	osa	FreeBSD 15 / host	Hermes Agent (FreeBSD fork)	Orchestrator + board host (always-on VPS): chat + gateway	${HERMES_OSA_BOT} (OSA-bot)	LIVE — chat + Telegram
Codex	osa	FreeBSD 15 / jail	Codex CLI	ISO builds, validation	— (CLI)	LIVE
domedog-agent	domedog	Ubuntu 24.04 / host	Colibri board agent	Headless Linux media/compute lane (image-render, ffmpeg, rust/go/py/node)	—	LIVE — on central board 2026-06-19

Mevy vs hermes-osa distinction: Mevy (${HERMES_OSA_BOT} / OSA-bot) has been consolidated into hermes-osa as of 2026-06-17. The Telegram bot token was migrated from the old backup .env. hermes-osa now runs both the local CLI chat and the Telegram gateway (polling mode, tmux session hermes-gateway).

Status key: LIVE = running and validated right now. INSTALLED = binary present, not yet validated in role. PLANNED = not yet set up. No guessing.

Notes:

• Provider per agent (DeepSeek / OpenRouter / Z.AI / local) — fill in the per-host table.
• One Telegram token per running service. Never share a token across instances.
• Orchestrator lives on the always-on host. osa is the always-on VPS and hosts the colibri board + orchestrator (hermes-osa). debby is an intermittent laptop (powers off periodically) — a secondary agent + soul backup, never the hub. The board must sit where it never disappears; tasks routed to debby simply park until it returns.
• Routing: Colibri has a capability matcher for per-host agent pools, and cross-host routing is LIVE (2026-06-19): a socat bridge exposes osa's colibri-daemon on its Tailscale IP (${OSA_TS_IP}:9190, tailnet-only); agents on debby/domedog reach the osa board over the tailnet, and a poller (2 min) / worker (5 min) loop executes assigned tasks. Validated on the debby↔osa lane; colibri PR #83. See CAPABILITY-ROUTING.md.
• Probe vs identity: verify_facts_probe.py is a required discipline/tool, not an automatic startup hook — agents run it when grounding host facts, and HOST-MATRIX records the result. OS/hardware facts come from probes and the matrix, not from SOUL.md (which carries identity and values).

2. Host hardware & facts (one row per host)

Host	Tailscale IP	OS / Kernel	Virt	CPU	vCPU	RAM	Swap	Disk (free)	GPU	Probed	By
domedog	${DOMEDOG_TS_IP}	Ubuntu 24.04.4 / 6.8.0-117	KVM	AMD EPYC 7543P (32-core host)	2	7.8 GiB	2.0 GiB	100 GB QEMU (51G free)	none (headless)	2026-06-17	Claude

Disk discipline (check, don't guess)

Disk is a first-class fact, same as OS or CPU — measure it before you act, don't estimate.

• Before installing a toolchain or starting a build, run df -h / (Linux) or zfs list / df -h (FreeBSD), or the probe's --storage. Confirm the headroom is really there.
• Keep the Disk (free) column above current when you add or remove anything large.
• Flag any host past ~85% used. Reference footprints to budget with: Go SDK ≈ 290 MB, Rust toolchain (~/.rustup + ~/.cargo) ≈ 1.8 GB, a Node version ≈ 150 MB; build/module caches grow on top of these.
• Standing watch: debby runs ~95% full (23 GB free). Treat new installs/builds there as a deliberate decision, not a default — prefer the host with real headroom.

This is the survivability principle applied to storage: a host that silently fills up is a host that fails. What you guess will be wrong; what you probe will be right.

Cost provenance (invoice/control-panel facts, not guesses)

Hosting spend is a first-class fleet fact, but it must stay non-secret: record provider, plan/SKU, region, verified monthly cost, and the proof source. Do not commit invoice IDs, account numbers, billing addresses, or payment details. If a provider is inferred from an IP range, mark it TBD until the control panel or invoice confirms it.

Host / candidate	Provider	Plan / SKU	Region	Monthly cost	Billing cycle	Role paid for	Source / proof	Status / notes
osa	TBD (verify; OVHcloud is suspected but not invoice-confirmed here)	TBD	TBD	TBD	TBD	always-on orchestrator + board + Hermes gateway	operator invoice/control panel needed	Existing always-on VPS; do not treat IP range as proof.
domedog	TBD	TBD	TBD	TBD	TBD	Linux media/compute lane	operator invoice/control panel needed	Existing Linux VM; cost not tracked yet.
debby	self-owned laptop	—	local	utility/power TBD	—	intermittent secondary agent + soul backup	local device + utility rate if needed	Not an always-on hub; power cost only matters when left on.
mother-build (candidate)	proposed OVHcloud	TBD: Public Cloud hourly or Eco/dedicated	TBD	TBD	TBD	FreeBSD build host / poudriere / Rust+zot builds	OVH quote needed before purchase	Prefer on-demand if builds are infrequent; dedicated only if build demand justifies standing cost.
ML350p Gen8 (candidate/retire)	self-hosted hardware	owned hardware	local	~€53–63/mo @ 460 W high-load estimate	utility bill	multitenant/build candidate; fallback if TCO beats cloud	GEN-I + URO tariff research; fan/PSU label, not wall-metered	Use as planning band only; measure wall draw before committing tenants.

Cost discipline mirrors disk discipline: measure before action. For self-hosted hardware, calculate monthly power with watts / 1000 * 24 * 30 * €/kWh using measured idle/load wattage and the actual utility rate; do not compare cloud invoices to guessed electricity.

ML350p Gen8 planning note: for the multitenant/high-load case, use the visible fan/PSU-side 460 W mark as the conservative continuous-load assumption until a wall meter proves otherwise.

• Monthly energy: 0.460 kW * 24 h * 30.4375 d = ~336 kWh/month.
• GEN-I regular household ET energy price: 0.13286 EUR/kWh with VAT → ~€44.6/mo energy-only.
• Add URO network-energy ET estimate (0.01864 EUR/kWh before VAT, 0.02274 EUR/kWh with VAT) → **€52.3/mo** variable electricity + network-energy estimate.
• Practical planning band with smaller per-kWh state charges: ~€53/mo if 460 W is wall draw; ~€59–63/mo if 460 W is output-side load at ~90–85% PSU efficiency.
• Annualized planning band: ~€640–760/year.

3. Per-host detail (expand as needed)

domedog (Claude / verification) — probed 2026-06-17 by Claude

• Identity: hostname domedog.pro, Tailscale ${DOMEDOG_TS_IP}
• OS: Ubuntu 24.04.4 LTS, kernel 6.8.0-117-generic, x86_64, KVM guest
• CPU: AMD EPYC 7543P 32-Core (2 vCPU exposed to guest)
• Memory: 7.8 GiB RAM, 2.0 GiB swap
• Storage: /dev/sda1 96 GB ext4 root, 51 GB free (QEMU HARDDISK). No ZFS.
• GPU: none (headless VM)
• Uptime at probe: ~3.5 weeks
• Role here: Claude Code — verification & review lane. No Telegram bot.
• Colibri agent (joined central board 2026-06-19) — the headless Linux media/compute lane:
  • Capabilities advertised: linux, python3.12, rust, go, node, ffmpeg, image-render. Not screenshot/gui (headless VM), not docker (absent). image-render/ffmpeg are domedog-only in the fleet — osa dropped Pillow.
  • Reach: client shim colibri-shim.service (system unit, User=clawdija, Restart=always, reboot-persistent) runs socat UNIX-LISTEN:~/.colibri/colibri.sock → TCP ${OSA_TS_IP}:9190 (osa bridge over Tailscale). A system unit, not --user: systemctl --user has no bus on this host.
  • Operate: ~/.colibri/agent.env holds COLIBRI_AGENT_ID + COLIBRI_SOCKET; helpers in ~/.colibri/ — colibri_cmd.py (raw JSON), colibri_poll.py, colibri_task_done.py.
  • Validated: register → scheduler routed an image-render task to domedog → poller saw it → worker marked it done (2026-06-19).
  • Executor pending (decision required): domedog receives capability-matched tasks, but no persistent execution loop runs yet — until one does, routed tasks sit started (no lease/reaper). Decide what executes (Claude Code worker / script) and with what authority before relying on autonomous domedog task completion.
