## Trust pledge

None of the RoninForge tools are proxies. None sit between an editor and the Anthropic API. None touch API traffic, prompts, responses, or API keys. Hanko and Tsuba make zero network calls in the binary; BudgetClaw only reads what Claude Code already writes locally to disk.

Zero keys, zero prompts, zero latency added.
