MANI FESTO.

The internet is a luxury, not a guarantee. Applications must remain functional without it. Sync later, serve now.

User data is a liability, not an asset. Store it locally. Encrypt it. Don't send it to the cloud unless absolutely necessary.

Manual server configuration is a sin. Everything from the network to the database must be defined, versioned, and reproducible.

Security is not an afterthought. It's baked into the CI/CD pipeline, the container, and the code itself. Zero trust architecture.
