V16: Rules 22-25 (trust calibration, error-feedback, attribution gate, backtest integrity) + land prior uncommitted Rule 15 two-phase exit rewrite

Detects snapshot poisoning by positive re-derivation (pre-inception, raw-balance
leak, adaptive sanity bound); quarantines (never deletes); tiered fail-closed
health (HEALTHY commits, DEGRADED report-only, CRITICAL holds) with age-adaptive
MIN_CLEAN; self-heals to HEALTHY via natural clean-snapshot refill. Backs the
2026-07-02 audit finding (36/37 snapshots poisoned, OSS steering live params off
a phantom drawdown).

+| 0.2 | `scripts/compute_oss.py:344-362` | Removed dead `_compute_adapt_win_rate()` + call site |
+| 0.3 | `scripts/compute_oss.py:45-61` | Added `_fetch_spy_30d_return()` (yfinance via ^GSPC) |
+| 0.3 | `scripts/compute_oss.py:293-301` | Replaced hardcoded 0.58 with live fetch; alpha=None on failure |

+
+### Changes Made
+
+| Sub-gate | File | Changes |
+|----------|------|---------|
+| 1.1 | `scripts/migrate_gate1_schema.py` | NEW — creates `adaptations` + `parameter_state` tables, seeds 5 params |
+| 1.1 | `trade_journal.db` | `parameter_state` (5 params) + `adaptations` (0 rows, clean) |
+| 1.2 | `scripts/apply_adaptations.py` | NEW — reads OSS+regime, proposes bounded changes, writes DB |
+| 1.3 | `scripts/apply_adaptations.py:auto_unwind()` | Auto-reverts params after 3 consecutive non-positive forward_oss_delta |
+| 1.4 | `scripts/compute_oss.py:W_ADAPT=0.10` | Re-weighted: W_CALMAR=0.35, W_WIN_RATE=0.10, W_ADAPT=0.10 |
+| 1.4 | `scripts/compute_oss.py:_compute_adapt_win_rate()` | Queries `adaptations.result='improved'` (not dead `analysis_runs`) |
+| 1.5 | `tests/test_adaptation_persistence.py` | NEW — 3 tests (seeded params, write+unwind, migration idempotent) |
+| 1.5 | `~/.hermes/scripts/contract_invariant_watchdog.py` | Added test_adaptation_persistence.py (now 8 test files) |
+
+### Adaptation Logic
+
+| OSS Range | Trend | Regime | Action |
+|-----------|-------|--------|--------|
+| < 0.5 | degrading | bearish | **Tighten**: lower STOP_LOSS_PCT, raise CONFIDENCE_FLOOR, lower HEDGE_CAP |
+| > 0.8 | improving | bullish | **Loosen**: raise STOP_LOSS_PCT, lower CONFIDENCE_FLOOR, raise HEDGE_CAP |
+| Any | — | neutral | **Hold** — no change needed |
+
+- Step size: 10% of (max−min) range
+- Bounds enforced from `parameter_state`
+- Auto-unwind after 3 consecutive non-positive forward_oss_delta
+
+### Verification
+
+- `apply_adaptations.py` runs clean: proposes STOP_LOSS_PCT adaptation in bearish regime
+- Auto-unwind test: 3 failed adaptations → reversion to original value
+- `compute_oss.py` shows `AdaptWR=0.5` (neutral default, wired to real data)
+- **39 tests pass** (30 original + 6 Gate 0 + 3 Gate 1)
+- **Watchdog: "✅ All contract invariants hold (8 test files passed)"**
+- LLM cron `2ca03134ea62` is now reporter, not actor — calls `apply_adaptations.py`

+
+**DBs:**
+- `trade_journal.db` — perf, orders, trades, `analysis_runs`, `config_store`. **This is the DB `compute_oss.py` reads** (`DB_PATH`, line 18).
+- `consensus/signals.db` — `signals`, `consensus`.
+
+**Governing design principle (Theo, non-negotiable):** the contract must be **declarative** — declare desired *outcome states* + expose *levers* + define *feedback signals*, IaC-style. NOT prescriptive step lists. Every fix below converts a frozen constant into a tuned lever or adds a missing feedback signal. Wherever you must hardcode, justify it as an irreducible exception.
+
+**[fv] discipline for this work:** internal claims (code lines, DB columns) are verified by direct inspection (stronger than search — it's ground truth). External claims (financial definitions, SOTA findings) require independent `web_search` per claim. Label every assertion CONFIRMED / DISPUTED / UNVERIFIED. Add a property test that would have caught each defect before shipping the fix.

+
+### Confirmed defects (all [fv] CONFIRMED by direct inspection)
+
+| ID | Defect | Exact location | Evidence |
+|----|--------|---------------|----------|
+| D1 | Calmar uses `abs(cagr)` — sign destroyed | `scripts/compute_oss.py:65` | `compute_calmar(-2.35,-0.43,30)=2.174` vs `(+0.43)=2.28` |
+| D1b | Calmar clamp floor `max(calmar,0.0)` erases negatives even if sign fixed | `scripts/compute_oss.py:66` | `return round(min(max(calmar,0.0),5.0),3)` |
+| D2 | Benchmark hardcoded | `scripts/compute_oss.py:274` (`portfolio_return - 0.58`), `:319` (`spy_30d_return = 0.58`) | never fetched; alpha+beta are self-referential |
+| D3 | Win-rate query references 2 non-existent columns | `scripts/compute_oss.py:352` (`analysis_type`), `:349` (`result`) | `PRAGMA table_info(analysis_runs)` has NEITHER → bare `except:pass` at :360 → returns 0.5 forever |
+| D4 | Hedge structurally incapable | `.env.prod` + `consensus/ross/config.py:84-86` | `MAX_HEDGE_POSITIONS=1`, `HEDGE_POSITION_SIZE_PCT=0.01` → max ~1% of equity; contract Rule 8 assumes 25% (`PARKER_HEDGE_CAP_PCT=0.25`, config.py:113) |
+| D5 | P-004/005/006 unimplemented | grep entire tree | `hedge_strategy`, `discovery_lens`, `source_provenance` = 0 hits in *.py, 0 DB columns |
+| D6 | No adaptation persistence | DB introspection | tables `parameter_state`/`adaptations`/`regime_state` do not exist; `config_store` untouched since 2026-05-25 |
+| D7 | Discovery is static | `config_store.tickers` | 7 fixed symbols, last write 2026-05-22; frank=1, janet=1 distinct tickers ever |
+| D8 | Position size flat, `POSITION_SIZE_PCT` dead | `consensus/ross/sizing.py:7`, `config.py:138` | `calculate_position_size` returns `cfg.MAX_POSITION_NOTIONAL` which `= MIN_NOTIONAL` ($5); the 0.025 pct is never used |
+| D9 | Watchdog covers only P-002/P-003 | `contract_invariant_watchdog.py:19-25` | 5 test files = dust filter + equity source + pipeline; P-004/5/6 never tested |

+### Confirmed ASSETS (things that already exist — reuse, don't rebuild)

+|-------|----------|---------|
+| Live market fetch (VIX/SPX/NDX/BTC via yfinance) | `consensus/track_parker.py:76-101` (`_fetch_market_data`) | D2 fix — reuse `spx.history(period="1mo")` for real SPY 30d return |
+| Bounded tunable levers (already documented w/ min-max) | `config.py:99-113`: STOP_LOSS_PCT[-0.03,-0.07], PROFIT_TAKE_PCT[0.03,0.10], STALE_EXIT_DAYS[3,7], CONFIDENCE_FLOOR[0.65,0.85], PARKER_HEDGE_CAP_PCT[0.10,0.30] | D6 — levers EXIST; they need a *writer*, not a redesign |
+| Property-test harness (hypothesis, temp-DB, module-reload) | `tests/test_perf_equity_property_invariants.py` | template for all new invariant tests |
+| Regime detection (VIX-trend + SPX-vs-SMA20) | `track_parker.py:152+` (`_detect_regime`) | D4 — regime signal exists to drive dynamic hedge sizing |
+| slippage_bps / intended_price columns | broker_orders schema | P-008 cost-aware gate (data already captured, unused) |
+| Risk-gate framework (Gates 0-7) | `consensus/ross/gates.py:14` (`check_risk_gates`) | insert cost-aware gate here |
+
+---
+
+## 2. EXTERNAL EVIDENCE (July 2026 SOTA) — [fv] CONFIRMED against sources
+
+- **Calmar = signed CAGR ÷ |maxDD|** — negative return MUST yield negative Calmar. (Investopedia, Wikipedia, QuantifiedStrategies — CONFIRMED, ≥3 sources.) → D1/D1b are unambiguous bugs.
+- **FINSABER (arXiv:2505.07078v5, KDD'26):** LLM edge deteriorates over long horizons/broad universe; agents "overly conservative in bull, overly aggressive in bear." Prescription: **prioritize trend detection + regime-aware risk controls over framework complexity.** CONFIRMED (abstract).
+- **StockBench (arXiv:2510.02209):** most LLM agents don't beat buy&hold over 4mo, but ALL limit drawdown (-11/-14% vs -15.2%). → realistic capturable edge = **drawdown control, not alpha.** CONFIRMED.
+- **Agent Market Arena (arXiv:2510.11695):** performance driven by **architecture (memory/risk/sizing), not LLM choice.** CONFIRMED.
+- **CLQT (arXiv:2606.29771):** return leaderboards mislead; apparent alpha dissolves once look-ahead controlled → "mostly passive factor exposure." Evaluate capability, not single score. CONFIRMED. → OSS is exactly the single-number leaderboard being warned against.
+- **Signal half-life/capacity (OpenAlgo):** turnover set by half-life; every trade pays half-spread+impact; net-of-cost is the only honest test. CONFIRMED.
+- **Leveraged inverse decay (StockTitan 2026):** daily-reset -3x (SQQQ/SPXU) decays even when directionally right → prefer 1x inverse (SH/PSQ) for multi-day holds. CONFIRMED. Contract Rule 18 already says this; `MAX_HEDGE_HOLD_DAYS=3` + HEDGE_TICKERS still lists SQQQ/SPXU fight it.
+
+**Synthesis implication:** the honest declared outcome state is **"match benchmark net of costs while bounding drawdown,"** NOT "maximize growth." Re-weight the objective accordingly (P-011).
+
+---
+
+## 3. THE PLAN (dependency-ordered gates; LLM-paced, no human timelines)
+
+> Each task: **DO** (exact edit) → **VERIFY** (command + expected result) → **TEST** (property/regression test to add). No task is "done" until its VERIFY passes and its TEST is committed.
+
+### GATE 0 — Restore metric truth (BLOCKING; everything downstream is meaningless until this lands)
+
+**0.1 — Fix Calmar sign + clamp**
+- DO: `scripts/compute_oss.py:65` → `calmar = cagr / (abs(max_drawdown_pct) / 100.0)` (drop `abs(` on cagr).
+- DO: `:66` → allow negatives: `return round(min(max(calmar, -5.0), 5.0), 3)` (floor -5.0, not 0.0).
+- CONSIDER: the OSS aggregate weight math (`:278-280`) assumes non-negative components — after this, re-derive so a negative Calmar drags OSS below floor. Verify OSS can now go below 0.5 on a losing month.
+- VERIFY: `.venv/bin/python -c "import sys;sys.path.insert(0,'scripts');from compute_oss import compute_calmar as c;print(c(-2.35,-0.43,30), c(-2.35,0.43,30))"` → first value must be **negative**, second positive.
+- VERIFY: `.venv/bin/python scripts/compute_oss.py` → with current -0.43% return, `oss` must now be **< 0.5** and `oss_trend` must NOT be "improving".
+- TEST: add `tests/test_oss_monotonicity.py` (hypothesis): `∀ dd, days, r1<0<r2 ⇒ compute_calmar(dd,r1,days) < compute_calmar(dd,r2,days)` AND `compute_calmar(dd, r<0, days) < 0`.
+
+**0.2 — Fix or remove adaptation win-rate**
+- Root cause: query needs `analysis_type` AND `result` columns that don't exist in `analysis_runs`.
+- OPTION A (preferred, aligns with Gate 1): create the `adaptations` table (Gate 1.1) and repoint this query at it.
+- OPTION B (interim): remove the `W_ADAPT * 0.5` term from OSS and renormalize weights, so OSS isn't diluted by a frozen constant. Document as temporary.
+- VERIFY: grep confirms no silent `except: pass` returns a magic 0.5 that feeds OSS.
+- TEST: assert `_compute_adapt_win_rate` raises or returns None (not 0.5) when the backing table/columns are absent — no silent defaults.
+
+**0.3 — Live benchmark (kill the 0.58 literal)**
+- DO: add `_fetch_spy_30d_return()` reusing Parker's pattern (`import yfinance as yf; yf.Ticker("^GSPC").history(period="1mo")`; 30d pct change). Thread into `:274` (alpha) and `:319` (beta).
+- DO: on fetch failure, FAIL LOUD (return error dict / mark UNVERIFIED) — never silently default to a constant.
+- VERIFY: `.venv/bin/python scripts/compute_oss.py` shows a `spy_30d_return` that changes day-to-day and ≠ 0.58; `rolling_alpha` flips sign when portfolio crosses SPY.
+- TEST: `tests/test_benchmark_integrity.py` — alpha sign must equal sign(portfolio_return − live_spy_return); mock the fetcher.
+
+**0.4 — Gate 0 acceptance**
+- Re-run `compute_oss.py`; confirm it now reflects reality (the -$1.67 loss).
+- Add 0.1/0.2/0.3 tests to the watchdog TEST_FILES list; run watchdog → must now FAIL if any regression reintroduces the bugs.
+
+### GATE 1 — Make the optimization loop load-bearing (depends on Gate 0)
+
+**1.1 — Persistence schema.** Create tables in `trade_journal.db`:
+- `adaptations(id, fired_at, param_name, old_value, new_value, regime, trigger_reason, oss_before, oss_after, forward_oss_delta, result TEXT, unwound INTEGER DEFAULT 0)`
+- `parameter_state(param_name PRIMARY KEY, current_value, min_bound, max_bound, updated_at, last_adaptation_id)`
+- seed `parameter_state` from `config.py:99-113` bounds (STOP_LOSS_PCT, PROFIT_TAKE_PCT, STALE_EXIT_DAYS, CONFIDENCE_FLOOR, PARKER_HEDGE_CAP_PCT).
+
+**1.2 — Move adaptation from LLM prompt to code.** Create `scripts/apply_adaptations.py`: reads OSS + regime, proposes bounded param change, writes `adaptations` + `parameter_state` rows, and config now READS from `parameter_state` (falls back to env). LLM cron `2ca03134ea62` becomes reporter, not actor.
+- Declarative framing: contract declares target OSS ≥ 1.0 and the bounded levers; this code is the controller that tunes toward it.
+
+**1.3 — Auto-unwind (Rule 8-14 guardrail).** After N evaluations (contract says 3), if `forward_oss_delta ≤ 0`, revert param from `parameter_state` and mark `unwound=1, result='reverted'`.
+- TEST: property test — any adaptation with non-positive forward delta over N evals is reverted; reversibility holds (state returns to pre-adaptation value).
+
+**1.4 — Wire win-rate.** Repoint `_compute_adapt_win_rate` at `adaptations.result='improved'`. Now OSS weight 0.15 is real.
+
+**1.5 — Watchdog.** Add P-009 (monotonicity) + P-010 (persistence/reversibility) tests. Watchdog fails if loop goes inert.

+- 1x inverses (SH, BITI, PSQ): 5-day max hold (Rule 18 + StockTitan evidence)
+- 3x inverses (SQQQ, SPXU): 2-day max hold (crisis-only, high decay)

+| 3.1b | `consensus/signals.db:signals` | Added `discovery_lens TEXT` + `source_provenance TEXT` columns |
+| 3.1b | `trade_journal.db:broker_orders` | Added `discovery_lens TEXT` + `source_provenance TEXT` columns |

+| 3.1c | `consensus/ross/executor.py` | Passes `db_path` to sizing for probationary check |
+| 3.2 | `scripts/update_ticker_universe.py` | **NEW** — Replaces static config_store.tickers with lens-proposed, correlation-gated, aggregated universe (≥2 lenses → priority) |
+| 3.3 | `scripts/update_ticker_universe.py` | Coverage-gap streaks + auto-broaden lens criteria after 3 consecutive gaps (Rule 19) |

+
+- **Source Health Score**: yield_rate × avg_PF × 100 × decay (0.85^months) — per lens, 90-day lookback
+- **Correlation gate**: rejects proposed tickers with r ≥ 0.80 vs existing positions (20-day min history)

+### OSS Impact
+
+| Metric | Before (Gate 3) | After (Gate 4) |

+| OSS | −0.477 | **−0.590** |
+| Trend | degrading | degrading |
+| Calmar weight | 35% | **40%** |
+| Alpha weight | 20% | **15%** |
+
+The shift to drawdown-first weighting amplifies the honest signal: Calmar at −2.174 now drives the composite more heavily, producing a truer picture.
+
+### Verification
+
+- Contract updated per Theo's approval ✓
+- **54 tests pass** (unchanged — contract edits don't affect test count)
+- **Watchdog: "✅ All contract invariants hold (10 test files passed)"**
+- OSS −0.590 | Calmar −2.174 | SPY −1.1% | Beta 0.39
+
+### Next: Gate 5 — Wire the loop end-to-end (cron + adaptation pipeline integration)
+
+
+### GATE 3 — Real field of view (parallelizable with Gate 2)
+
+**2.1 — Dynamic hedge sizing.** Replace frozen `MAX_HEDGE_POSITIONS=1`/`HEDGE_POSITION_SIZE_PCT=0.01` with regime-driven sizing bounded by `PARKER_HEDGE_CAP_PCT` (up to the 0.25 already authorized). Sizing reads `parameter_state`. Reconcile `MAX_HEDGE_HOLD_DAYS=3` with Rule 18 (allow longer 1x-inverse holds).
+**2.2 — P-004 hedge attribution.** Add `hedge_strategy` column to orders/trades + tagging; compute per-strategy profit factor; retire strategies <0.5. Demote SQQQ/SPXU (decay) to crisis-only; default SH/PSQ (1x) per Rule 18 + StockTitan evidence.
+**2.3 — P-008 cost-aware gate.** New gate in `gates.py` using existing `slippage_bps`/`intended_price`: reject trades where expected edge < modeled round-trip cost (half-spread+commission+slippage). Directly addresses small-account cost drag.
+- TEST: hedge sizing scales with regime severity; cost gate blocks a sub-cost-edge trade; P-004 attribution sums correctly.
+
+### GATE 3 — Real field of view (parallelizable with Gate 2)
+
+**3.1 — P-005/P-006.** Add `discovery_lens` + `source_provenance` columns + tagging; per-lens yield + Source Health Score; correlation-admission gate; probationary sizing for new tickers.
+**3.2 — Dynamic universe.** Replace static `config_store.tickers` with lens-proposed candidates each cycle (declare: "≥3 active lenses, correlation-gated"; expose lens criteria as lever).
+**3.3 — Rule 19 hindsight.** Write coverage-gap counts; broaden lens criteria when gaps detected.
+- TEST: universe changes across cycles; correlation gate rejects a highly-correlated add; ≥3 lenses active invariant (P-005).
+
+### GATE 4 — Re-baseline objective to evidence (contract edit; depends on Gates 0-2)
+
+**4.1 — Rewrite objective declaratively (P-011).** Primary outcome = **match benchmark net of costs + bounded drawdown** (per StockBench/FINSABER), not "maximize growth." Re-weight OSS toward downside/drawdown metrics. Make hedge cap a regime-driven lever.
+**4.2 — Convert remaining prescriptive constants** in the contract to `#### parameter-state` blocks: each = declared target + lever + bounds + feedback signal. The system tunes them; the contract stops fixing them.
+**4.3 — Add P-007/008/009/010/011** to the invariant set + watchdog.
+
+---
+
+## 4. NEW CONTRACT PROVISIONS (declarative form — to add in Gate 4)
+
+- **P-007 Benchmark integrity:** every alpha/beta computed vs a live point-in-time benchmark fetched this cycle; alpha sign flips when portfolio crosses benchmark. (Kills 0.58 literal.)
+- **P-008 Cost-aware execution:** no trade admitted whose expected edge < modeled round-trip cost; feedback = realized slippage_bps vs intended_price.
+- **P-009 Metric monotonicity:** OSS and every sub-metric sign-correct; a losing period can never score ≥ a winning one. (Property-tested.)
+- **P-010 Adaptation persistence & reversibility:** every param change writes before/after + regime; auto-reverts if forward OSS doesn't improve over N evals.
+- **P-011 Drawdown-first objective:** declared outcome = benchmark-match net of costs with bounded drawdown; hedge capacity sized to actually bound it.
+
+---
+
+## 5. EXECUTION ORDER & GUARDRAILS
+1. **Gate 0 first, always.** Until OSS sees losses, every adaptation optimizes against a lie.
+2. Human gate before contract edits (Gate 4) per Theo's 2-agent + 1-human policy. Contract source of truth is Gitea `SyslogSolution/prose-contracts` — mirror any contract edit there, not just `/opt/openprose-contracts/`.
+3. Every code change ships with a property/regression test that would have caught the defect it fixes.
+4. Pin any new cron jobs (unpinned LLM crons break on provider switch).
+5. After each gate: run `compute_oss.py` + watchdog; record OSS before/after as evidence.
+6. [fv] label every claim in progress reports: CONFIRMED / DISPUTED / UNVERIFIED.
+
+## 6. OPEN ITEMS TO RE-VERIFY AT PICK-UP (state may drift)
+- Re-run the live OSS command — confirm it still shows the inverted "improving" before you fix it (proves you're fixing a live bug, not a stale one).
+- Confirm `PRAGMA table_info(analysis_runs)` still lacks `analysis_type` + `result`.
+- Confirm `.env.prod` hedge caps unchanged (`MAX_HEDGE_POSITIONS`, `HEDGE_POSITION_SIZE_PCT`).
+- Re-grep `hedge_strategy|discovery_lens|source_provenance` — confirm still 0 hits before building P-004/5/6.
+- Skill hygiene: `verification-protocol` has TWO colliding copies (`productivity/` + `ra-h-os-sync/`) causing `skill_view` ambiguity errors. Load by full path or dedupe.

 - **Agent key monitor** (`/root/scripts/agent-health-check.py` on pi .24, cron `*/10`): reads each agent's **live** `LITELLM_API_KEY` from its gateway process env via SSH — never hardcodes keys (hardcoded keys rot on rotation and caused 9×401/30min). Fleet roster: abiba, tanko, mumuni, koby, koonimo (legacy `tdunna`/`baggy` removed — never existed).
 - **Stale keys cleaned**: `daily-infra-report.py` SYNTHETIC_API_KEY was stale (`sk-U_ydi3B` → 401); now reads `LITELLM_MASTER_KEY` from env. Deprecated scripts (`router-original.py`, `router-phase0-backup.py`, `apply-fixes.py`) still reference `sk-syslog-local-master-key` but do not actively poll LiteLLM.

+## Incident Log — 2026-07-18 Fleet-Wide Audit
+
+### Fleet State After Audit
+
+| Agent | Platform | Zulip State | Issues Found | Fix Applied |
+|-------|----------|-------------|--------------|-------------|
+| **Abiba** | pi (CT 100) | ✅ Connected | API key missing from Infisical injection; poll timeout noise | Added .env fallback; AbortError treated as empty poll (no retry); poll timeout 65s→90s |
+| **Tanko** | Hermes (CT 112) | ✅ Connected | Gateway disconnected since Jul 11; watchdog restart didn't re-establish Zulip | Full gateway restart (kill wrapper, let infisical-gateway.sh respawn) |
+| **Mumuni** | Hermes (CT 114) | ✅ Connected | No issues found | None needed |
+
+### Key Fixes Applied
+
+**1. Abiba — Credential Fallback (L4 Pattern)**
+- Root cause: `zulip.api_key` in config.yaml is `""` (expected from Infisical). Infisical vault `ABIBA_ZULIP_API_KEY` wasn't being injected into the process environment.
+- Fix: Added `.env` file fallback at `/root/.pi/agent/extensions/zulip/.env` with known-working key, sourced before the Infisical `exec`.
+- Lesson: Per L4 from gpu-self-heal, Infisical is not always available — always keep a local `.env` fallback.
+
+**2. Abiba — Poll Timeout Handling**
+- Root cause: Zulip long-poll uses `AbortSignal.timeout(65000)`. Zulip's default `event_queue_longpoll_timeout_seconds` can exceed 65s. When the signal fires, an `AbortError` is thrown and caught by the circuit breaker as a failure.
+- Fix: Caught `AbortError` inside `poll()` and return empty array (no events) instead of throwing. Extended timeout to 90s to match Zulip server default.
+- Reference: [Zulip Events System — long-poll timeout](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/11.6/subsystems/events-system.html)
+
+**3. Tanko — Gateway Restart**
+- Root cause: Gateway process was running but Zulip platform stayed in "disconnected" state since Jul 11, 2026. The wrapper script (`infisical-gateway.sh`) restarts on crash but the gateway wasn't re-establishing Zulip on restart.
+- Fix: Killed gateway PID to trigger wrapper restart. New gateway (PID 331991) established Zulip connection successfully.

+### Fleet-Wide Zulip Health Metrics (as of 2026-07-18)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Zulip server | ✅ HTTP 200 |
+| Agents connected | 3/3 (Abiba, Tanko, Mumuni) |
+| Abiba circuit breaker | CLOSED (0 failures) |
+| Abiba uptime | 2D (post-restart) |
+| Tanko gateway uptime | Ongoing |
+| Mumuni gateway uptime | Ongoing |
+| Watchdog status | ✅ Online (2D uptime) |
+
+### Hermes Agent Zulip Plugin Improvements
+
+Based on the audit, improvements that should be ported to all Hermes Zulip adapters:
+
+1. **Circuit breaker pattern** — Already in Abiba's pi extension. Hermes adapters should add the same CLOSED→OPEN→HALF_OPEN state machine with exponential backoff.
+2. **Credential fallback** — All Hermes agents use Infisical for credentials. Add `.env` local fallback per L4 pattern for `ZULIP_API_KEY`.
+3. **Queue re-registration** — Handle `BAD_EVENT_QUEUE_ID` with automatic re-registration instead of gateway restart.
+4. **Supervisor watchdog** — Hermes uses PM2 which auto-restarts on crash, but has no health-check watchdog. Add lightweight external health checks.
+5. **Streaming** — All agents have `streaming: true` in their zulip config. Verify `edit_message()` is implemented in each adapter.
