Local operation is more than a deployment detail. It changes how the product communicates privacy, storage, dependencies, and control.
The machine is the workspace
Projects, source files, prompts, and outputs are intended to stay in the environment the user controls.
Choice before download
The user should understand what will be installed, how large it is, and what it requires before the download begins.
No hidden provider lock-in
Adapters and modules remain replaceable so one model vendor or runtime does not define the whole workspace.
