| C01 | Seven ideals, paragraph 3 | The device's data copy becomes primary rather than subordinate to a server. | Local Authority differs from caching. |
| C02 | Ideal 3, paragraph beginning Since local-first applications | Local reading/writing can continue offline; synchronization follows connectivity. | Commit location and synchronization timing are separate decisions. |
| C03 | Introduction, paragraph beginning The software we are talking about | The discussion targets documents and personal repositories, excluding several centralized service domains. | Do not generalize the proposal to every transaction. |
C02/C03 were checked manually beyond the bench excerpt.
## Limits and counterexample
A hypothetical shared inventory reservation requires a separate concurrency argument;
local durability alone does not prove that a reservation is globally valid.
The excerpt does not establish a merge algorithm or access-revocation semantics.
## Disposition
Retain Local Authority as a hypothesis candidate. Review persistence, synchronization,
conflict handling and independent implementations before admission or maturity changes.
