## Non-goals (current)

- Mobile iOS/Android clients  
- Hosted multi-user SaaS backend for chat  
- Autonomous background tasks without user message  
- Cryptocurrency / unrelated integrations

## How priorities are set

1. **Safety and trust** before new capabilities  
2. **Cross-platform parity** before niche features  
3. **Local-first privacy** preserved for default paths  
4. **Portfolio/demo quality** aligned with production bar
