The archive becomes queryable context
Conversation history is reframed as governed personal data rather than a pile of exported transcripts.
How can personal context become useful without becoming somebody else's permanent asset?
A private context vault exploring local-first memory, selective disclosure, trust boundaries, and human control over retained knowledge.
Working thesis

Local storage, trust boundaries, and selective disclosure define the first architecture.
