# GCP hosted architecture

> Regional control plane and isolated execution

The hosted foundation targets `europe-central2` initially. A regional private
control plane persists workspace, review, scan, integration, usage, and audit
state; durable queues dispatch work to capability-specific execution pools.

Standard and Pro prefer light, component-scoped isolation. Ultra and work that
requires a complete build use the heavy execution path. Capability resolution
fails closed: unsupported work emits a cannot-run receipt rather than running
unisolated.

Azure OpenAI is the initial managed model route. Vertex AI is a governed
fallback and future primary. Provider route, model, effort, token usage, and
cost remain part of each job's provenance.

Terraform and image-factory validation do not create production resources.
Live staging requires an approved plan, authenticated operator, quota review,
containment campaign, restore drill, load/cost test, and failover evidence.
