• ✅ Runtime operation requires no internet

Bootstrap Process

• ✅ Uses local Elasticsearch instance
• ✅ No external downloads
• ✅ All templates and configs local

Service Dependencies

• ✅ All dependencies are internal services
• ✅ No external service dependencies
• ✅ No cloud services required

---
