-- Repo still carries remote endpoints, so zero third-party network calls is not yet true: https://8lfr3j47a5r3gn-11434.proxy.runpod.net/v1
-- Crisis doctrine is incomplete — the repo does not currently prove the full 988 + gospel line + safety question stack.
 - Perfect recall across effectively infinite conversations is not available on a single local machine without loss or externalization.
 - Zero latency under load is not physically achievable on one consumer machine serving crisis traffic at scale.
 - Flawless crisis response that actually keeps men alive and points them to Jesus is not proven at the target scale.
