ADR-001: Phase 0/1 is a standalone simulator

Context

The full system targets PG + Node + WebSockets (Railway). But we needed a fast, shareable, investor-facing proof of the orchestration concept first.

Decision

Val Town val guardiq-command hosts a self-contained single-page Command Center. All robots/cameras/events are simulated client-side. No live hardware, no GuardIQ connection. Demo data clearly labeled.

Consequences

  • ✅ Instant shareable link, zero infra, no login.
  • ✅ The orchestrator story (detect → analyze → mission → verify → human → resolve → report) is fully demonstrated.
  • ⚠️ No persistence server-side; KPIs live in browser localStorage.
  • ⚠️ Not the real product — that is guardiq-platform (this repo) on Railway.

Status

accepted. Superseded by ADR-002 as the real platform begins.

Next step

[[ADR-002]] — cross-platform architecture on Railway.
