+OpenClaw is not part of the current inference path, but its deployment history
+is retained:
+
+- `1bc58e10` added the OpenClaw testing-triage workspace, workload, model,
+  ingress, RBAC, and storage.
+- follow-up commits wired local diagnosis, OIDC, persistence, and the gateway.
+- `97ecb36b` replaced OpenClaw with Hermes and moved the agent-facing resources.
+- `bb5e286f` decoupled Hermes from the retired OpenClaw Flux dependency.
+- the `openclaw-home` PVC remains bound as retained state while no OpenClaw
+  workload is running.
+
+Have Brad verify the commits and live resource shape. This establishes the
+cluster deployment and replacement sequence; Brad's direct experience remains
+the evidence for how he personally used the old agent.
