Emergency Runtime Profile

This folder defines a downstream emergency profile for Project N.O.M.A.D.

The profile is designed for a dedicated Android device running Ubuntu/Linux where the system must remain useful with zero network and treat network availability as an opportunistic ingest path, not as part of the main read path.

Core principles

  • Hard-offline first: search, maps, and critical reads must work from local storage.
  • Incremental compatibility: reuse upstream Project N.O.M.A.D. code where practical and keep the delta small.
  • Device-first runtime: prefer a local daemon plus a mobile-friendly PWA over server/admin assumptions.
  • Bounded sync: network use should be explicit, short, and policy-driven.

Network policy model

  • ON: normal background sync is allowed.
  • OFF: no normal network activity is allowed.
  • Armed one-shot sync: a bounded exception that can remain armed while base policy stays OFF.

Intended use

This is not a chat-first product. It is a continuity-of-information runtime that keeps a local corpus current while it can, then continues to serve that corpus when the network disappears or should not be used.
