+Local persistence is **embedded** (a bundled pglite database at `~/.horus/horus.db`) — no database to run or configure. Teams that need shared state use **Horus Cloud** (an API mirror), not a self-run Postgres.

 **No connector runs without an explicit project/env scope** — there are no global connector defaults.
 
 **Secrets are never committed.** `horus connect` encrypts connector credentials at rest into `.horus/secrets.local.json` (AES-256-GCM, never `config.json`) and auto-adds `.horus/` to `.gitignore`; environment variables are also supported at runtime. For the full secrets and gitignore model, see **[horus.sh/docs/security](https://horus.sh/docs/security)**.
