Engineering phases
10 phases, scoped end to end — objective, approach, acceptance criteria, and risks.
Foundation & runtime
Done50%▸Containers, repo-as-infra, and verified GPU access — the bedrock.
Local AI stack
Done100%▸A local LLM + embeddings running on the 4060 — fully offline. Voice STT/TTS live in the Blu module.
Data layer
To do60%▸One Postgres for relational + vectors + time-series, plus cache and object store — with restores that actually work.
Event backbone & API
Done100%▸The event schema and the gateway every service and device speaks to.
AI Orchestrator
To do0%▸The differentiated core: events in, typed tool-calls to the LLM, actions out.
Secure remote access
To do0%▸Reach Centra from anywhere with zero open router ports.
IoT & Home Assistant
To do0%▸The physical world plugs into the bus via Home Assistant + ESPHome.
Clients
To do0%▸Your face on the system — a web dashboard and a phone client.
Observability, backup & hardening
To do0%▸The sleep-at-night layer: metrics, logs, offsite DR, and secrets.
Expansion & NAS migration
To do0%▸Move the brain to dedicated hardware — the payoff for containerizing everything.
