A local boundary changes operational ownership
A separate control service introduces listeners, ports, service discovery and inter-process authentication. A local library or FFI boundary shifts attention toward process integration, lifecycle, threading, state transfer and update ownership.
What remains project-specific
- Target platform and packaging.
- Host lifecycle, update and rollback ownership.
- Operational boundaries between the primary system, Headless component and external services.
- Supported profiles, external versions and acceptance criteria.
What this page explicitly does not claim: The local Headless path is not a claim that every MEMM function is local or network-free. External communication services remain outside the local host control boundary.
