| Layer | Strength | Gap |
|---|---|---|
| Legal rails | Strong matrix + validators + honest banners | Operator education in more languages |
| Offline node | First-boot, packs, PWA, zero-network kit | One-click golden Pi SD image still thin |
| Nexus fabric | Sim multi-node + village DTN (SHA-256/TTL/hop/custody) | Real batman-adv hop-forward on radio |
| Skybrary | Curated PD corpus (~78 works), dual-access export | Bulk open corpora; live global catalog polish |
| Ops | Rich CLI (mission, power, disaster, integrity...) |
Privacy-preserving fleet (opt-in only) |
Legal rails non-negotiable: receive-only, FTA/open only, ISM mesh TX, no commercial decrypt, no false free-Starlink claims. Not a complete archive. Not free commercial broadband.
- Software mission meter sealed at 100% for shipped software tracks (BLE GATT sim, power Wh calibration, soak protocols, partner tabletop). See
docs/MISSION-SEAL.md. - Field residuals (real RF, hostapd, solar wiring, spectrum law) stay operator-owned.
- Sample / curated holdings are demos and starters - holdings grow via operator-run legal imports.
- Golden Raspberry Pi SD bake path + day-one batman-adv checklist video.
- Operator-run Gutenberg / OA bulk import with license gate (no over-claim of completeness).
- Multi-language operator onboarding copy beyond EN.
