Why local first does not mean local only.
Local-first routing is a priority order: keep context and the first decision point close, then use outside compute when it adds practical value.
Agents near operations need visible boundaries.
A useful agent runtime needs identity, least privilege, review points, observability, containment, and recovery.
Restaurants are the proving ground, not the ceiling.
Restaurant operations combine physical signals, fast decisions, many tools, and real customer consequences in one useful first environment.
Why Atarla publishes the evidence boundary.
Present proof, work in development, and long-term direction should never be presented as if they were the same thing.
