# Local-first architecture

> The VPS changes capacity and isolation, not protocol semantics.

All essential Genesis functions run locally:

* observation;
* content-addressed storage;
* deterministic encoding;
* Go and C verification;
* adapter execution;
* provenance inspection;
* conformance testing.

Normal tests do not require public internet access. The controlled origin provides reproducible fixtures, and recorded evidence supports offline replay.

## Migration principle

Moving to a VPS must not alter:

* artifact formats;
* digest identities;
* adapter semantics;
* ontology versions;
* provenance structure;
* conformance behavior.

The VPS adds:

* separate networks;
* isolated workers;
* durable object storage;
* database-backed metadata;
* monitoring;
* backups;
* quotas and circuit breakers.

It must not become a hidden dependency required to implement the protocol.
