Task Mode executes in a local VM on your machine; tool call results never transit our servers. This is an architectural choice, not just a security pitch.

Interaction Task Mode runs inside a local macOS virtual machine (Apple Virtualization.framework) — your AI coworker works right on your own computer. All tool calls — reading and writing files, running scripts — happen on your device, and the results never pass through Lumirain servers.

Tool calls complete entirely inside the local VM, never touching cloud servers

Session metadata (title, timestamp) syncs to Lumirain servers for multi-device access, but file contents and intermediate tool state always stay local.

What our servers do: route model requests, sync session metadata (title, timestamp), manage account quotas. They never see file contents or intermediate tool state.

This is a design choice, not an accident. Local-first execution lets us implement genuine "undo" — snapshot and rollback — without relying on cloud state.
