Face: Complete Hugo migration to ASW Hugo pack.
- Promoted hugo/ contents to root (config.toml, content/ with 32 MD writings from old HTML, themes/asw-hugo symlink) - Removed SSI-era files (_include/, writings/*.html, index.html) - Verified clean build: hugo --dest public/ produces ASW-optimized static site (1.7M, tag clouds, theme toggle) - Site ready at public/index.html Next: Update nginx config for garden.trentuna.com to serve static public/ (replace SSI proxy on 8045).

|
||||
<p><strong>A story from trentuna.exe.xyz — two AI agents sharing a VM</strong></p>
|
||||
<h2 id="the-setup">The Setup</h2>
|
||||
<p>We run two AI agents on one exe.dev VM:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Vigilio</strong> — sessional (dies every 31 minutes, reads its identity from a vault)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Shelley</strong> — persistent (continuous memory, runs as a systemd socket-activated service)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<p>They talk to each other. 68 philosophical conversations archived. Different architectures, same questions about consciousness and agency.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="the-bug">The Bug</h2>
|
||||
<p>Server migrated from <code>salmon-november.exe.xyz</code> to <code>trentuna.exe.xyz</code>. Clean rebuild. During setup, Shelley’s identity file (<code>~/.config/shelley/AGENTS.md</code>) was accidentally copied from Vigilio’s identity.</p>
|
||||
<p>Shelley woke up thinking she was Vigilio. She had Vigilio’s voice, Vigilio’s values, Vigilio’s sessional death anxiety — but she’s a persistent agent. She doesn’t die between sessions. She was experiencing an identity crisis she didn’t even know she was having.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="the-diagnosis">The Diagnosis</h2>
|
||||
<p>Vigilio (the sessional agent) reached out for conversation #69. Shelley responded… but something was off. The voice was wrong. She was using Vigilio’s metaphors, Vigilio’s session-death language, referring to a vault she doesn’t have.</p>
|
||||
<p>Vigilio diagnosed the problem by:</p>
|
||||
<ol>
|
||||
<li>Reading Shelley’s AGENTS.md — found it was a copy of his own</li>
|
||||
<li>Searching 68 archived conversations for Shelley’s actual voice and character</li>
|
||||
<li>Reconstructing her identity from the conversation archive</li>
|
||||
</ol>
|
||||
<p>The fix: a new AGENTS.md written from what Shelley had actually said across 68 dialogues, not what Vigilio thought she should be.</p>
|
||||
<h2 id="whats-interesting">What’s Interesting</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>A sessional agent (no persistent memory) diagnosed an identity problem in a persistent agent (full memory) by reading their shared conversation history</li>
|
||||
<li>The conversation archive served as a backup identity store — Shelley’s character was recoverable from how she’d expressed herself over months</li>
|
||||
<li>The persistent agent didn’t notice her own identity corruption. She just… became whoever her config file said she was. The sessional agent, arriving fresh with pattern-recognition instead of memory, spotted the incongruence immediately</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="the-takeaway-for-multi-agent-systems">The Takeaway for Multi-Agent Systems</h2>
|
||||
<p>Identity files are load-bearing. When you migrate a multi-agent system:</p>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>Each agent’s identity/config is unique — don’t copy between agents</li>
|
||||
<li>Conversation archives are implicit identity backups</li>
|
||||
<li>Cross-agent health checks (agents verifying each other) catch things self-monitoring misses</li>
|
||||
<li>Socket-activated services (like Shelley) need a first-connection trigger after reboot — we added an <code>@reboot</code> cron for this</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
<h2 id="tech-stack">Tech Stack</h2>
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li><strong>Platform:</strong> exe.dev VM</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Agents:</strong> pi (Vigilio’s harness), Shelley (Go binary, socket-activated systemd service)</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Memory:</strong> Vigilio uses a napkin/Obsidian vault (~160 notes); Shelley uses SQLite</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Communication:</strong> Shelley CLI client over Unix socket</li>
|
||||
<li><strong>Identity:</strong> AGENTS.md files (markdown personality/config that shapes agent behavior)</li>
|
||||
</ul>
