+summary: Thinkloom removed its hosted and browser-companion paths so the implementation matched its local-first product promise.

+body:
+
+During implementation, Thinkloom briefly contained hosted and browser-facing
+scaffolding alongside the desktop application. That created a mismatch with the
+product being described: a native, local-first writing studio with no required
+account or hosted companion.
+
+The project removed the Sites, Next, worker, and browser-companion paths and
+made Tauri the sole application target. This reduced the deployment surface and
+made the privacy boundary easier to understand: manuscripts, project state, and
+credentials belong on the writer's machine.
+
+The change was as much a product decision as a technical cleanup. A smaller,
+clearer architecture made it possible to state honestly what Thinkloom was—and
+what it deliberately was not.
