+# AIDE Sovereign Community Node
+
+The community layer is local-first and disabled by default. A user can develop privately without an account, server, relay, payment provider, or network connection.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+- `private`: local-only repository, prompts, traces, credentials, and drafts.
+- `group`: explicitly invited collaborators; encrypted sync and signed changes are required.
+- `public`: deliberately published repository, discussion, issue, or release artifact.
+- `marketplace`: public artifact plus license, price or bounty terms, checksums, and payout provider disclosure.
+
+## Current Status
+
+This release contains the policy and node manifest only. Peer sync, relays, payments, and moderation services are not implemented and must not be represented as available. The UI must show those capabilities as disabled until their adapters are installed and audited.
+
+## Required Design
+
+Use Git for code history, signed commits for authorship, end-to-end encryption for group data, explicit replication scopes, replaceable relays for reachability, and user-controlled payment adapters. Never put payment custody or moderation authority in the IDE core.
