Updated 2026-09-23 20:27 UTC from GitHub. 6 components in your words, each broken into the parts that produce it, in the owner's order. Yellow edge = the part a builder picks up now. Red edge = it moves only when you act. Finished work is folded away at the bottom.
Your level is the component; mine is the part. Bars show parts landed out of parts listed. "Next" is the one part that unblocks the most.
A plain chat turn on the live route answers fast, every time. Prompt length is the latency, not thinking: a one-word greeting was carrying 33 tool schemas and 7.8k prompt tokens. Speed is a merge gate of Class A standing; new-tool work halts while it is red.
Always keep speed a high priority.Core as light as possible; when a tool is called the wire carries core plus that one schema and everything else is dropped. Every PR states its cost to the turn.
| No. | Part | State | Ref | Next move | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Tiered tools: core on the wire, the rest behind open_toolsCategories listed as one-line index entries; a category loads only when opened. | merged | #926 | Claude measure | Core schema count and bytes reported; a chat turn under 4k prompt tokens. |
| 1.2 | Drop everything but core + the called schema for the rest of the turnYour 9/18 evening ruling. Index lines go too once a tool is open; reset to core + index between turns. | done | #847 B.3 | Builder | Deployed 9/20 evening (#956 line). |
| 1.3 | Zero prefix-cache hits on the Sparks routeThe core is stable at the front so the cache should hit; it does not. --prefix-match-unit 8 was a no-op. | done | #927 | Claude + Builder | Warm-turn prefill drops and the server counter shows hits. |
| 1.4 | Snappy-turn SLO as the merge gateA plain chat turn on the live route, timed in CI against the lane budget. Red blocks the merge. | open | #870 | Builder | A PR that adds latency to Hal's chat turn fails its check. |
| 1.5 | Reply first, work in the backgroundA drafting question gets an immediate answer while the tools run as a job. | done | #956 | Claude deploy | Deployed 9/20 evening; reply-first live on both lanes. |
| 1.6 | Standing bakeoff: Foundry vs DeepSeek harness vs Hermes | done | #872 | — | Same tasks, same endpoint; if Foundry is 5× slower the harness is the bug. |
| 1.7 | Long Telegram reply splits; a streamed turn shows once | done | #965 | Claude deploy | Deployed 9/20 evening. |
| 1.8 | Thinking off on chat; keepalive; streaming; self-knowledge cache | merged | #809 #867 | — | Landed 9/15. |
| 1.9 | Fast front + specialist lanes as toolsOne fast Hal in front; engineering, accounting and design as specialist lanes with their own models. | live | #624 | — | Specialist registry, picker and delegation on main. |
| 1.10 | Gage 4.7 audit · Oracle greeting sends 37 schemas, 9,063 tokens, 3.7 s before a wordTier Oracle's tools the way Hal's are tiered. | next | #991 | Builder | An Oracle greeting carries the same 4 core schemas Hal does; measured on the Sparks route. |
| 1.11 | Gage 4.7 audit · Thinking at the server default eats the output cap and returns nothing | next | #991 | Builder | Chat routes force thinking off; a greeting returns text every time. |
| 1.12 | Gage 4.7 audit · Hal greeting is 4,893 prompt tokens: a core file and a page of memory it never uses | open | #991 | Builder | Greeting under 3k tokens; the cut blocks named and lazy-loaded. |
| 1.13 | Gage 4.7 audit · Prefix cache is on but a repeated chat prompt is not faster | open | #991 | Builder · Claude measure | Second identical greeting measurably faster than the first, or the reason written down. |
A Foundry agent is fully capable the moment it is spun up: shell, files, brokered network, helpers that persist, skills that load, memory that writes, tool results that survive a turn. Opt-out per agent later. Money, sends and credentials stay the only gates.
Tear down the limitations… reimplement once we have a really usable product.
When we spin up a foundry agent, I need it to be fully capable from the start by default.

| 2.15 | Gage 4.7 audit · A request does not become a tool in 90 minutes | open | #992 | Anvil · Hammer | foundry-hal #15 (open since 9/20) lands as a tool; the intake loop (4.2) closes the gap by itself. |

Every ability that is built and green but not yet on the runtime. Three audits found the same thing: capability built in one PR, armed in a second PR that never opened. This component is the list of second PRs, records and deploys. It is the shortest road to a more capable Hal, and most of it moves on you.
Report exceptions only.So this table is the exception list: each row is one thing standing between a merged PR and a live lane.

Anvil moves off Hermes and onto Foundry: his brain on the Sparks route, a loop that turns an accepted request into a job by itself, his own Telegram seat, and one shadow job to prove it. Hermes stays the fallback until two Foundry-built PRs merge clean.
Make sure the abilities we create for the builder are foundry wide abilities. Always keep speed a high priority.No builder-only branch of the harness; each PR states cost to the turn.

The kids out-earned the eleven-recipe catalog in two weeks. Crafting Overhaul Map v1 is signed: a full-width Smithy around the tutor, metal as tier, shape as a craft-time choice, then depth and learning in the temper step. Build order S0 → S1 → S3, then temper and grades, then smith level and runes.

About $600 of BTC plus $500 of USDC you added 9/20 in your Default portfolio is Oracle's live-test money before real money. Oracle places the orders, never the builder. BTC is the savings account; USD and alts are working capital. At roughly 0.9% a side, a round trip costs about 2%, so the monitor's default action is to do nothing. Rails proposed: 25% per position, 10% daily stop, 20% weekly kill, every fill journaled and one Telegram line.
Turn it on and turn him free.Grow it any way; convert half to all of the BTC to USD as his first act; the LLC account is the real-money phase, and the 50/50 hardware deal starts there.
