Set AI performance and privacy guardrails

[ScottMorris]

Goal

Define non-negotiable performance and privacy constraints for AI features.

Questions to answer

• What maximum latency is acceptable for interactive commands?
• What memory/CPU budgets must be respected during scans?
• What data must never leave local machine by default?

Scope

• performance budgets and instrumentation hooks
• privacy defaults and telemetry boundaries
• feature flag and disable controls

Acceptance Criteria

• numeric guardrails documented (latency, memory, startup impact)
• local-only default policy documented
• kill-switch/disable path defined for users and maintainers
