# Sovereign Audit: The "No Phone Home" Protocol

This document defines the audit standards for verifying that an AI agent is truly sovereign and local-first.

## 1. Network Isolation
- **Standard:** The core reasoning engine (llama.cpp, Ollama) must function without an active internet connection.
- **Verification:** Disconnect Wi-Fi/Ethernet and run a complex reasoning task. If it fails, sovereignty is compromised.

## 2. API Leakage Audit
- **Standard:** No metadata, prompts, or context should be sent to external providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) unless explicitly overridden by the user for "Emergency Cloud" use.
- **Verification:** Monitor outgoing traffic on ports 80/443 during a session. Core reasoning should only hit `localhost` or local network IPs.

## 3. Data Residency
- **Standard:** All "Memories" (Vector DB, Chat History, SOUL.md) must reside on the user's physical disk.
- **Verification:** Check the `~/.timmy/memories` and `~/.timmy/config` directories. No data should be stored in cloud-managed databases.

## 4. Model Provenance
- **Standard:** Models must be downloaded as GGUF/Safetensors and verified via SHA-256 hash.
- **Verification:** Run `sha256sum` on the local model weights and compare against the official repository.
