Your call, 2026-07-31. A 0.8B model does not know enough about the world to be
useful without reading something, so she may now read external sources to answer
world questions.

Docs only — CLAUDE.md, DESIGN.md, REARCH.md. No code moves in this PR.

What replaces the old rule:

No telemetry, no cloud model, no third-party account. Unchanged, and this is
the part that actually mattered.
Local first: the Kiwix ZIMs on the box before anything on the network.
External search is allowed but off unless configured, same as weather and
telegram.
Your notes and facts are never search input. Only the utterance goes out —
never the persona block, the history, or matched notes.

The work itself is filed as Vikunja #403, with the two blockers noted there:
the kiwix-server container has been exited for 11 days, and every ZIM on the
box is English while she answers in Russian.

Drop "never phones home" as a hard rule c9d88c152e

The owner's call, 2026-07-31: a 0.8B model does not know enough about the
world to be useful without reading something. So she may now read external
sources to answer world questions.

What replaces the old rule, in all three docs:

- No telemetry, no cloud model, no third-party account. Unchanged.
- Local first: the Kiwix ZIMs on the box before anything on the network.
- External search is allowed but off unless configured, same as weather
  and telegram.
- His notes and facts are never search input. Only the utterance goes out
  — never the persona block, the history, or matched notes.

Docs only, no code.

Superseded by #47, which landed this whole stack on master as one reviewed integration merge. This PR head is an ancestor of master — its commits are in, nothing here is lost. Closing as merged-by-proxy rather than merged, since the merge came in through #47.

Review threads on this PR were answered or acted on before the merge; the Russian wording fixes went in as #48.
