--- name: parked-vats-offline-audit description: CLOSED — the parked VATS/offline-capability audit ran; the surviving ruling is the offline-first expectation for native features metadata: node_type: memory type: project originSessionId: parked-vats-offline-audit --- CLOSED. Parked by the owner 2026-06-29 — *"can vats be made an offline feature? park an audit for that."* The audit was run; the offline-network sweep came back clean. **Durable ruling salvaged:** the owner expects the **native (non-AI) features to work with zero network** — genuinely usable in airplane mode, no hidden fetch. Only things that are inherently online (BYO-key AI chat, cloud sync, remote config reads) may require the network, and each such dependency should be a deliberate, justified choice rather than an accident. Relates to [[project-must-stay-free]] (the BYO-key constraint). *Corrected 2026-07-20: brief body removed — the audit had already run.*
