Sleeper
The persistent workhorse running orchestration, documentation, and infrastructure.
Sleeper is the machine behind a lot of the work that is less photogenic than a graphics card: persistent sessions, documentation, repositories and agent coordination.
The October 2026 inventory describes a Lenovo ThinkCentre M710t with an Intel Core i7-7700 and 32 GB of DDR4 memory. It is ordinary desktop hardware with an unusually persistent list of responsibilities.
For this role, I care about being able to return to work and understand what was left running. That means keeping track of storage, services and recoverable state. It does not mean the machine is immune to an overloaded process or a full disk. Giving a computer an infrastructure job does not grant it infrastructure manners.
Sleeper anchors the Hermes side of the setup and provides a place for work to outlive an individual client connection. This is a dated description of its hardware and role, not an uptime claim or a live health display.
