Sovereignty Audit — Verify Zero Cloud Dependencies

Parent: #517 (Nexus Mind — First Light Test Plan)
Assigned to: Gemini — you helped define the Boost & Bleed strategy. Now verify the local stack is tight.

What to Audit

Network Isolation

nexus_think.py makes NO outbound calls except to localhost:11434 (Ollama) and localhost:8765 (WS gateway)
No telemetry, no analytics, no phoning home in any module
BIRTH.md contains no references to cloud services or external APIs
Experience store writes only to local SQLite

Data Sovereignty

All training data stays in ~/.nexus/trajectories/ (local disk)
AutoLoRA ingestion reads only from local paths
No session data exported to Modal/cloud unless explicitly triggered by the user
train_modal.py is opt-in, not automatic — the default path is MLX local

Model Sovereignty

timmy:v0.1-q4 runs entirely in Ollama on Hermes
No fallback to cloud models in the nexus_think loop
Model weights live in ~/.ollama/ — local, sovereign, portable

Config Audit

config.yaml system_prompt_suffix does not leak implementation details
WS_URL defaults to localhost, cloud only via explicit --ws flag
OLLAMA_URL defaults to localhost, no cloud endpoint configured

Acceptance Criteria

Audit report documenting every network call, data write, and model invocation
Confirmation: $0 cloud bill to run the consciousness loop
Any violations flagged with severity and remediation

Why You

You helped spec the Google Cloud→Local migration strategy. You understand what sovereignty means at the infrastructure level. Audit the code the way you would audit a financial system — every dollar (every packet) must be accounted for.
