Continuity: what happens if Orionfold disappears

Relay is built so that our disappearance cannot take your work with it. Four properties make that real.

• The engine is Apache-2.0. The complete application, from orchestration to governance to the UI and CLI, is open source in the Relay repository. You can fork it, patch it, and run it indefinitely under the same license, with no copyleft obligations on your side.
• Your data is a local SQLite file you already possess. Relay has no cloud backend. Projects, tasks, workflows, documents, usage ledgers, everything lives in a SQLite database in your data directory, in an open format any SQLite client can read. There is nothing to export and no one to request it from, because it never left your machine.
• Licenses verify offline, forever. License verification is an Ed25519 signature check against public keys embedded in the open-source code. No activation server exists, so no activation server can be shut down. Installed premium packs never re-lock.
• Installed versions keep working. Nothing in Relay checks for updates, sends your data to Orionfold, or depends on an Orionfold service at runtime. A version you installed and run today runs the same on the day our domain lapses.

A trust page that only lists the good parts is not trustworthy. Here are the real edges.

• First run of a new install downloads a prebuilt server artifact from the repo GitHub Releases. If GitHub or the repo vanished, the npm package still contains the full source, so any install can build and run from source, and a build-artifact URL setting points installs at your own mirror. Published npm versions stay installable regardless: npm blocks removal of established versions, and your lockfile plus a registry mirror close the rest of that gap if your policy requires it.
• Model providers are your relationship, not ours. Relay runs agents against API keys you hold (Anthropic, OpenAI, or a local Ollama model at zero external dependency). Our continuity has no bearing on those.
• What you would actually lose if Orionfold wound down: future pack updates, new releases, and support. What you keep: everything you have.
