Every mode is a status and control boundary, not permission for unrestricted hardware access. The OLED and field-control page show only verified state: queued, running, completed, failed, denied, timed out, stale, or unavailable.

Mode purpose

Mode Purpose Boundaries
Standalone Local health, provisioning, and confirmed rules No external deployment claim
Sentinel Owner-started, time-bounded Wi-Fi/BLE summaries No identity, pursuit, or raw identifier retention
Ragnar Named Heltec-native observation for the remote Ragnar workflow Ragnar never obtains generic radio control
Intercept Verified sensor/connector result Absent host hardware remains unavailable
TAK Attributable preview/confirmation and shared map-event state No automatic publication before policy and manual proof
