 ## Vision
 A minimalist, offline-first, CLI-first orchestration engine inspired by HashiCorp Nomad, prioritizing stability, security, and simplicity over feature richness.
@@ -18,6 +18,8 @@ Build a lightweight system to manage and execute workloads across a set of nodes
 - No web UI as a primary requirement.
 - Must not implement K8s-level complexity.
 - Feature development must move slowly to ensure stability.
+- Only CI system allowed: CoreCI (git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/coreci).
+- Gitea remote: git.cloudinit.dev/coreci/orca.
 
 ## Out of Scope
 - Full-blown Kubernetes-compatible API.
