Local vs Global Balance

Green Goods keeps capture and recovery close to the user while treating shared protocol records as the durable coordination layer.

Boundary​

  • Drafts, media preparation, retry state, and install-specific caches are local-first.
  • Attestations, Garden roles, approvals, and contract state are global and chain-scoped.
  • The job queue bridges the two: it preserves recoverable work locally, then records it through the authoritative protocol path when connectivity and authorization are available.
  • Derived UI state may explain syncing or failure, but it must not masquerade as confirmed protocol state.

When changing this boundary, start at the shared job-queue and service-worker modules. Prove offline recovery and duplicate prevention before updating interface copy.
