### Non-Goals
ChronoSeal is **not** designed to be:
- Cloud-first or vendor-specific
- Browser-first or JavaScript-heavy
- Dependency-heavy or framework-driven
- GUI-centric (any graphical interface must be a thin wrapper)
- Telemetry-oriented or privacy-invasive
- Optimized for rapid prototyping at the cost of long-term reliability
These non-goals help keep the project focused on stability, simplicity, security, and deep Unix integration.
