+  summary: VoidBot's bot/worker/provider/RAG/Postgres/Qdrant/CultCache structure is live, but the repo Face swarm is paused after operator-reported silence/code-block public posts. The immediate fault was an obsolete worker fallback that let raw child `Would say:` text write the public mouth when the parent Interpreter did not produce a normalized `SAY`; that fallback has been cut, and transport now rejects full-message markdown fences plus silence markers before Discord posting. GameCult Local Orchestrator remains the single pulse owner, and the repo Face heartbeat path obeys `state/agent-swarm-paused.json`. Bifrost work routing remains paused by default.
+  next_action: Keep the swarm paused until a dry/mock repo Face turn proves public speech is owned only by parent Interpreter `SAY` blocks, raw child silence/code-fence text cannot bypass the Interpreter, and the repaired worker build is the running worker. Then resume ordinary orchestrator pulses cautiously and watch first live posts.
