## Context
The foundation requires a robust, local-first architecture that ensures agent sovereignty while leveraging cloud connectivity for complex tasks.

## Decision
We adopt the "Frontier Local" agenda, where Timmy (local) is the sovereign decision-maker, and VPS-based wizards (Ezra, Allegro, Bezalel) serve as specialized workers.

## Consequences
- Increased local compute requirements.
- Sub-100ms telemetry requirement.
- Mandatory local review for all remote artifacts.
