Data Privacy

Exceptional privacy-by-design architecture for a solo v0.1.0 project, but solo maintenance with no legal entity means you need an exit plan before relying on it for team workflows.

Production ready with minor notes — strong overall; small gaps unlikely to block adoption for most teams.
