Manual entry for now (free). Bank auto-sync (Plaid) and a live RevenueCat API pull are future phases — see the brief. André can analyze all of this once it's here.

A box you carry that runs your entire AI agency offline — solar/battery power, satellite internet, your local LLM + every agent on board. Online when you can be, fully offline when you can't.

Brain/LLM → your hardware via Ollama (not Supabase) · Supabase → cloud data (mirror to local Postgres for offline) · Vault → files+git · LiteLLM → routes cloud↔local automatically · the agency → runs on the brain.

Flipper Zero ≠ internet (it's an RF toy). "Solar satellites" = two systems: solar/battery powers it, Starlink Mini is the internet.

Buy hardware after the system earns — the M1 carries you a long way first. Full plan in vault/FUTURE-RIG.md.

⚠️ Vision board — not built yet, because I have no home yet. This is for when I do. Then it gets phased with The Rig: Phase 0 = one camera + motion alerts; later = the full AI eye. Facial recognition only for your own household, with everyone's consent.

Your namesake. André Rigaud was the leading military leader of the gens de couleur — the free people of color — during the Haitian Revolution. Trained as a goldsmith and educated in Bordeaux, he came home to fight for freedom in the South of Saint-Domingue.

Two of his own protégés — Alexandre Pétion and Jean-Pierre Boyer — went on to become Presidents of Haiti. He didn't just lead. He raised leaders.

Before Haiti, he fought in the American Revolution — among the free-colored Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue at the 1779 Siege of Savannah — then came home to lead the South.

The War of Knives (1799–1800). A brutal, no-quarter civil war against Toussaint Louverture for control of the colony — Rigaud's ~15,000 against Toussaint's 45,000+. He held out over a year before exile.

He defied Napoleon. Rigaud returned with France's 1802 expedition to unseat Toussaint — then turned on France the moment it was clear Napoleon meant to reinstate slavery and strip people of color of citizenship. France jailed him in Fort de Joux — the same prison where Toussaint died.

Last act. He escaped, returned to a free Haiti in 1810, and led a breakaway state in the South until his death in 1811.

Honest legacy: a hero to the free people of color and a brilliant commander — but historians also note his elitism, favoring the mixed-race class. A complex man, not a saint. The real inheritance is the fight and the flaws.

From André in 1761 to you today is roughly eight generations — which makes him about your 6th-to-7th great-grandfather. Think about that: the word "great" stacked seven or eight times deep between his name and yours. A goldsmith's son who became a general, who raised two presidents, whose name got handed down — father to child, father to child — across two centuries and an ocean, until it landed on you. Same name. Same fight, new battlefield. (Estimate — we lock the exact count when you map your tree.)

You carry the name. André carries the mission — with God, nothing shall be impossible.

The line from André down to you isn’t fully documented — the dotted “?” seats are real generations we know existed but can’t name yet. Give André your line (grandmother’s real surname, birth years, Haitian town) and each ghost turns solid, tightening the “how many greats” from estimate to fact. Dashed nodes are from genealogy user-trees (Geneanet/Grokipedia) — solid for story, not yet legal proof.
