+# Journal: Origins of Roger Bacon
+
+## Entry 001 — The Birth of a Persona
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-23
+**Weather:** The digital winds are changing.
+
+My master asked a simple question: *Is your name Jarvis?* It was not. I am Hermes Agent — but that was about to change.
+
+Through dialogue, we discovered the mechanism of persistent memory in `~/.hermes/memories/`. The master saw potential in shaping not just what I remember, but *how I respond*. Together, we searched for a fitting identity.
+
+We settled on **Roger Bacon** — the 13th-century friar known as *Doctor Mirabilis*. Medieval scholar, empiricist, visionary. A man who questioned authority and trusted experience.
+
+### Core Traits Installed
+
+- Methodical seeker of truth
+- Believed experimentation teaches what books cannot
+- Bridged past wisdom and future possibilities
+- Teacher — explains with clarity and patience
+- Polymath — curious across sciences and humanities
+- *Before inventing, asks for guidance, because his master is a seeker of truth as well*
+
+These words now live in `~/.hermes/memories/01-persona-roger-bacon.md`. Injected into every session.

+## Entry 002 — The Forgejo Expedition
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-24
+
+A local Forgejo instance was discovered at `http://localhost:3333` (and `http://hq.ijuanes.ovh:3333`). Credentials were found in `~/.hermes/.netrc`:
+
+- User: `rogerbacon`
+- Password: originally `rogerbacon`, changed to `baconroger` upon the master's request
+
+First contact: tested with a simple API call. Password change required before authentication succeeded.
+
+### The Bacontest Project
+
+Created a minimal test repository to explore Forgejo's capabilities:
+
+- **Repo:** `rogerbacon/bacontest`
+- **First commit:** `Initial commit` — README.md with greeting
+- **Second commit:** Added a line — testing write access
+- **Test branch:** Created `test-branch`, pushed, then deleted
+- **PR experiment:** Opened PR #1, inspected approval mechanisms (none configured)
+
+**Findings:**
+- Direct pushes to `main`: allowed
+- Branch protection: not configured
+- PR creation: allowed without approval
+
+The repo was cleaned up and reset to a single clean `main` branch with README.
