Trust

Don't take my word on the privacy stuff. Read the audits:

• docs/NETWORK_AUDIT.md — every endpoint listed, telemetry verdict per call
• docs/SETTINGS_AUDIT.md — default-value diffs vs upstream
• docs/BLOAT_AUDIT.md — what got stripped, why

Status

Personal project. I use it daily, that's the only QA. No support guarantees. Bugs happen. Use at your own risk.

PRs welcome but not promised to merge — this is opinionated by design.
