Clam is a calm, local assistant with scoped continuity.

The main goal is trust through legibility: you should be able to understand how it works, what context it has, and why it answered the way it did.

The foundation is intentionally simple:

• single user
• single device
• custom Swift UI
• SQLite + FTS for storage and retrieval
• AI-compatible API (ollama, openrouter) for inference
• conversation search available to the assistant as a first-class tool from day one
• filesystem and network access, but no extension ecosystem yet

The design principle is to avoid magic memory systems and instead rely on explicit containers, visible boundaries, and inspectable context assembly.
