Things run on a laptop or a small cloud box to see what actually happens.
A minimal cloud baseline focused on identity, networking, and cost control.
A first-time Azure run that turned identity and networking into the real curriculum.
A small experiment to see where longer context starts to degrade quality.
A first cloud baseline with focus on projects, IAM, and network rules.
A launcher flow that hands a local Ollama model to Codex or OpenCode. Setup walkthrough, the two gates it checks, failure modes and what fixed them.
A baseline run to learn where M1 throttles and why it matters.
A first clean install that taught me where local stacks really fail.
How I built a policy-governed MCP runtime where models can reason freely but execution stays deterministic, verifiable, and auditable.
