Athena ELT Profile Cleanup

Context

Arijit asked Athena who the CTO was. Athena answered that CTO was only a role card and not a live profile.

That was wrong. Vulcan is the live CTO profile.

Cause

The My OS and Chowmes knowledge layers had drift:

  • 11-elt-role-cards.md described ELT role cards but did not clearly state the current live profile roster.
  • MEMORY.md still said ELT roles were not yet live profiles.
  • Chowmes workspace files still referenced old melonie routing paths.
  • Live Hermes had multiple copies of USER.md and MEMORY.md; some were stale.

Correct Current Roster

Role Profile Name Profile Status
CEO / Orchestrator default Athena Live primary Telegram agent
CTO vulcan Vulcan Existing profile
Product / UX Strategy arjuna Arjuna Existing profile
Business / Revenue kubera Kubera Existing profile
Legal / Risk prometheus Prometheus Existing profile
COO none none Deferred
CFO none none Role card only
CMO none none Role card only

Operating Rule

Athena should not answer from the role-card layer alone when Arijit asks who an advisor is.

She should check the current live-profile roster:

  • If the role is live, name the profile.
  • If the gateway is stopped, say the profile exists but is not currently exposed as an always-on chat surface.
  • If the role is not live, say it is currently a role card and explain what would justify promotion.

Verification

After cleanup, a fresh Athena prompt answered:

Vulcan is my CTO, and the exact live profile home path is `/opt/data/profiles/vulcan`.

The post-change Chowmes health check passed: gateway running, Telegram send test succeeded, runtime ownership healthy, and no root-owned runtime drift.
