 **Secure BIP39 mnemonic backup using PGP encryption and QR codes**
 
 A client-side web app for encrypting cryptocurrency seed phrases with OpenPGP and encoding them as QR-friendly Base45 frames with CRC16 integrity checking.
 
+**Quick note for Bitcoin users (beginner-friendly):**
+
+- This tool helps you securely back up your Bitcoin seed phrase (BIP39) by encrypting it with OpenPGP and giving you a compact QR-friendly export. You don't need to understand the internals to use it — follow the Quick Start below and test recovery immediately.
+- If you are new to Bitcoin: write your seed phrase on paper, keep copies in separate secure locations, and consider using Tails for larger amounts.
+
 **Live App:** <https://seedpgp-web.pages.dev>
 
 ---
 
+## 🚦 Quick Start — Bitcoin Beginners
+
+If you're new to Bitcoin, this short guide gets you from zero to a tested backup in a few minutes.
+
+1. Clone the repo and install dependencies:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/kccleoc/seedpgp-web.git
+cd seedpgp-web
+bun install
+```
+
+1. Build the offline bundle and serve it locally (recommended):
+
+```bash
+make full-build-offline   # builds and verifies dist/
+make serve-local         # start local HTTP server on http://localhost:8000
+# or: bun run serve       # uses Bun server
+```
+
+1. Open your browser at `http://localhost:8000`, generate a seed, write it on paper, then encrypt/export using the app.
+
+2. IMPORTANT: Test recovery immediately — import the backup into the app and confirm the seed matches.
+
+Notes:
+
+- Always store the written seed (paper) securely; treat it like cash.
+- For larger amounts, follow the Tails air-gapped instructions in the `doc/TAILS_OFFLINE_PLAYBOOK.md` file.

+# Local Testing & Offline Build Guide
+
+## What Changed
+
+✅ **Updated vite.config.ts**
+
+- Changed `base: '/'` → `base: process.env.VITE_BASE_PATH || './'`  
+- Assets now load with relative paths: `./assets/` instead of `/assets/`
+- This fixes Safari's file:// protocol restrictions for offline use
+
+✅ **Created Makefile** (Bun-based build system)
+
+- `make build-offline` - Build with relative paths for Tails/USB
+- `make serve-local` - Test locally on <http://localhost:8000>  
+- `make audit` - Security scan for network calls
+- `make full-build-offline` - Complete pipeline (build + verify + audit)
+
+✅ **Updated TAILS_OFFLINE_PLAYBOOK.md**
+
+- All references changed from `npm` → `bun`
+- Added Makefile integration
+- Added local testing instructions
+- Added Appendix sections for quick reference
+
+---
+
+## Why file:// Protocol Failed in Safari
+
+```
+[Error] Not allowed to load local resource: file:///assets/index-DRV-ClkL.js
+```
+
+**Root cause:** Assets referenced as `/assets/` (absolute paths) don't work with `file://` protocol in browsers for security reasons.
+
+**Solution:** Use relative paths `./assets/` which:
+
+- Work with both `file://` on Tails
+- Work with `http://` on macOS for testing
+- Are included in the vite.config.ts change above
+
+---
+
+## Testing Locally on macOS (Before Tails)
+
+### Step 1: Build with offline configuration
+
+```bash
+cd seedpgp-web
+make install           # Install dependencies if not done
+make build-offline     # Build with relative paths
+```
+
+### Step 2: Serve locally
+
+```bash
+make serve-local
+# Output: 🚀 Starting local server at http://localhost:8000
+```
+
+### Step 3: Test in Safari
+
+- Open Safari
+- Go to: `http://localhost:8000`
+- Verify:
+  - All assets load (no errors in console)
+  - UI displays correctly
+  - Functionality works
+
+### Step 4: Clean up
+
+```bash
+# Stop server: Ctrl+C
+# Clean build: make clean
+```
+
+---
+
+## Building for Cloudflare vs Offline
+
+### For Tails/Offline (use this for your air-gapped workflow)
+
+```bash
+make build-offline
+# Builds with: base: './'
+# Assets use relative paths
+```
+
+### For Cloudflare Pages (production deployment)
+
+```bash
+make build
+# Builds with: base: '/'
+# Assets use absolute paths (correct for web servers)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Check assets are using relative paths
+head -20 dist/index.html | grep "src=\|href="
+
+# Should show: src="./assets/..." href="./assets/..."
+
+# Run full security pipeline
+make full-build-offline
+
+# Just audit for network calls
+make audit
+```
+
+---
+
+## USB Transfer Workflow
+
+Once local testing passes:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build with offline paths
+make build-offline
+
+# 2. Format USB (replace diskX with your USB)
+diskutil secureErase freespace 0 /dev/diskX
+
+# 3. Create partition
+diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskX 1 MBR FAT32 SEEDPGP 0b
+
+# 4. Copy all files
+cp -R dist/* /Volumes/SEEDPGP/
+
+# 5. Eject
+diskutil eject /Volumes/SEEDPGP
+
+# 6. Boot Tails, insert USB, open file:///media/amnesia/SEEDPGP/index.html in Firefox
+```
+
+---
+
+## File Structure After Build
+
+```
+dist/
+├── index.html                    (references ./assets/...)
+├── assets/
+│   ├── index-xxx.js            (minified app code)
+│   ├── index-xxx.css           (styles)
+│   └── secp256k1-xxx.wasm      (crypto library)
+└── vite.svg
+```
+
+All assets have relative paths in index.html ✅
+
+---
+
+## Why This Works for Offline
+
+| Scenario | Base Path | Works? |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| `file:///media/amnesia/SEEDPGP/index.html` on Tails | `./` | ✅ Yes |
+| `http://localhost:8000` on macOS | `./` | ✅ Yes |
+| `https://example.com` on Cloudflare | `./` | ✅ Yes (still works) |
+| `file://` with absolute paths `/assets/` | `/` | ❌ No (security blocked) |
+
+The relative path solution works everywhere! ✅
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. **Test locally first**
+
+   ```bash
+   make build-offline && make serve-local
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify no network calls**
+
+   ```bash
+   make audit
+   ```
+
+3. **Prepare USB for Tails**
+   - Follow the USB Transfer Workflow section above
+
+4. **Boot Tails and test**
+   - Follow Phase 5-7 in TAILS_OFFLINE_PLAYBOOK.md
+
+5. **Generate seed phrase**
+   - All offline, no network exposure ✅
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**"Cannot find module 'bun'"**
+
+```bash
+brew install bun
+```
+
+**"make: command not found"**
+
+```bash
+# macOS should have make pre-installed
+# Verify: which make
+```
+
+**"Port 8000 already in use"**
+
+```bash
+# The serve script will automatically find another port
+# Or kill existing process: lsof -ti:8000 | xargs kill -9
+```
+
+**Assets still not loading in Safari**
+
+```bash
+# Clear Safari cache
+# Safari → Settings → Privacy → Remove All Website Data
+# Then test again
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Differences from Original Setup
+
+| Aspect | Before | After |
+|--------|--------|-------|
+| Package Manager | npm | Bun |
+| Base Path | `/` (absolute) | `./` (relative) |
+| Build Command | `npm run build` | `make build-offline` |
+| Local Testing | Couldn't test locally | `make serve-local` |
+| File Protocol Support | ❌ Broken in Safari | ✅ Works everywhere |
+
+---
+
+## Files Modified/Created
+
+- ✏️ `vite.config.ts` - Changed base path to relative
+- ✨ `Makefile` - New build automation (8 commands)
+- 📝 `TAILS_OFFLINE_PLAYBOOK.md` - Updated for Bun + local testing
+
+All three files are ready to use now!

+bun ./serve.ts
+# Open: http://127.0.0.1:8000

+- The Bun server sets correct `Content-Type` for `.wasm` and other assets.
+- Always use HTTP (localhost) rather than opening `file://` to avoid CORS/file restrictions.

+# Tails Offline Air-Gapped Workflow Playbook
+
+## Overview
+
+This playbook provides step-by-step instructions for using seedpgp-web in a secure, air-gapped environment on Tails, eliminating network exposure entirely.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Prerequisites & Preparation
+
+### 1.1 Requirements
+
+- **Machine A (Build Machine)**: macOS with Bun, TypeScript, and Git installed
+- **Tails USB**: 8GB+ USB drive with Tails installed (from tails.boum.org)
+- **Application USB**: Separate 2GB+ USB drive for seedpgp-web
+- **Network**: Initial internet access on Machine A only
+
+### 1.2 Verify Prerequisites on Machine A (macOS with Bun)
+
+```bash
+# Verify Bun is installed
+bun --version  # Should be v1.0+
+
+# Verify TypeScript tools
+which tsc
+
+# Verify git
+git --version
+
+# Clone repository
+cd ~/workspace
+git clone <repository-url> seedpgp-web
+cd seedpgp-web
+```
+
+### 1.3 Security Checklist Before Starting
+
+- [ ] Machine A (macOS) is trusted and malware-free (or at minimum risk)
+- [ ] Bun is installed and up-to-date
+- [ ] Tails USB is downloaded from official tails.boum.org
+- [ ] You have physical access to verify USB connections
+- [ ] You understand this is offline-only after transfer to Application USB
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: Build Application Locally (Machine A)
+
+### 2.1 Clone and Verify Code
+
+```bash
+cd ~/workspace
+git clone https://github.com/seedpgp/seedpgp-web.git
+cd seedpgp-web
+git log --oneline -5  # Document the commit hash for reference
+```
+
+### 2.2 Install Dependencies with Bun
+
+```bash
+# Use Bun for faster installation
+bun install
+```
+
+### 2.3 Code Audit (CRITICAL)
+
+Before building, audit the source for security issues:
+
+- [ ] Review `src/lib/seedpgp.ts` - main crypto logic
+- [ ] Review `src/lib/seedblend.ts` - seed blending algorithm
+- [ ] Check `src/lib/bip39.ts` - BIP39 implementation
+- [ ] Verify no external API calls in code
+- [ ] Run `grep -r "fetch\|axios\|http\|api" src/` to find network calls
+- [ ] Confirm all dependencies in `bunfig.toml` and `package.json` are necessary
+
+```bash
+# Perform initial audit with Bun
+bun run audit  # If audit script exists
+grep -r "fetch\|axios\|XMLHttpRequest" src/
+grep -r "localStorage\|sessionStorage" src/  # Check what data persists
+```
+
+### 2.4 Build Production Bundle Using Makefile
+
+```bash
+# Using Makefile (recommended)
+make build-offline
+
+# Or directly with Bun
+bun run build
+```
+
+This generates:
+
+- `dist/index.html` - Main HTML file
+- `dist/assets/` - Bundled JavaScript, CSS (using relative paths)
+- All static assets
+
+### 2.5 Verify Build Output & Test Locally
+
+```bash
+# List all generated files
+find dist -type f
+
+# Verify no external resource links
+grep -r "cloudflare\|googleapis\|cdn\|http:" dist/ || echo "✓ No external URLs found"
+
+# Test locally with Bun's simple HTTP server
+bun ./dist/index.html
+
+# Or serve on port 8000
+bun --serve --port 8000 ./dist  # deprecated: Bun does not provide a built-in static server
+# Use the Makefile: `make serve-local` (runs a Python http.server) or run directly:
+# cd dist && python3 -m http.server 8000
+# Then open http://localhost:8000 in Safari
+```
+
+**Why not file://?**: Safari and Firefox restrict loading local assets via `file://` protocol for security. Using a local HTTP server bypasses this while keeping everything offline.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Prepare Application USB (Machine A - macOS with Bun)
+
+### 3.1 Format USB Drive
+
+```bash
+# List USB drives
+diskutil list
+
+# Replace diskX with your Application USB (e.g., disk2)
+diskutil secureErase freespace 0 /dev/diskX
+
+# Create new partition
+diskutil partitionDisk /dev/diskX 1 MBR FAT32 SEEDPGP 0b
+```
+
+### 3.2 Copy Built Files to USB
+
+```bash
+# Mount should happen automatically, verify:
+ls /Volumes/SEEDPGP
+
+# Copy entire dist folder built with make build-offline
+cp -R dist/* /Volumes/SEEDPGP/
+
+# Verify copy completed
+ls /Volumes/SEEDPGP/
+ls /Volumes/SEEDPGP/assets/
+
+# (Optional) Generate integrity hash for verification on Tails
+sha256sum dist/* > /Volumes/SEEDPGP/INTEGRITY.sha256
+```
+
+### 3.3 Verify USB Contents
+
+```bash
+# Ensure index.html exists and is readable
+cat /Volumes/SEEDPGP/index.html | head -20
+
+# Check file count matches
+echo "Source files:" && find dist -type f | wc -l
+echo "USB files:" && find /Volumes/SEEDPGP -type f | wc -l
+
+# Check assets are properly included
+find /Volumes/SEEDPGP -type d -name "assets" && echo "✅ Assets folder present"
+
+# Verify no external URLs in assets
+grep -r "http:" /Volumes/SEEDPGP/ && echo "⚠️  Warning: HTTP URLs found" || echo "✅ No external URLs"
+```
+
+### 3.4 Eject USB Safely
+
+```bash
+diskutil eject /Volumes/SEEDPGP
+```
+

+
+## Phase 4: Boot Tails & Prepare Environment
+
+### 4.1 Boot Tails from Tails USB
+
+- Power off machine
+- Insert Tails USB
+- Power on and boot from USB (Cmd+Option during boot on Mac)
+- Select "Start Tails"
+- **DO NOT connect to network** (decline "Connect to Tor" if prompted)
+
+### 4.2 Insert Application USB
+
+- Once Tails is running, insert Application USB
+- Tails should auto-mount it to `/media/amnesia/<random-name>/`
+
+### 4.3 Verify Files Accessible & Start HTTP Server
+
+```bash
+# Open terminal in Tails
+ls /media/amnesia/
+# Should see your Application USB mount
+
+# Navigate to application
+cd /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP/
+
+# Verify files are present
+ls -la
+cat index.html | head -5
+
+# Start local HTTP server (runs completely offline)
+python3 -m http.server 8080 &
+# Output: Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080
+
+# Verify server is running
+curl http://localhost:8080/index.html | head -5
+```
+
+**Note:** Python3 is pre-installed on Tails. The http.server runs completely offline—no internet access required, just localhost.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Run Application on Tails
+
+### 5.1 Open Application in Browser via Local HTTP Server
+
+**Why HTTP instead of file://?**
+
+- HTTP is more reliable than `file://` protocol
+- Eliminates browser security restrictions
+- Identical to local testing on macOS
+- Still completely offline (no network exposure)
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. **In Terminal (where you started the server from Phase 4.3):**
+   - Verify server is still running: `ps aux | grep http.server`
+   - Should show: `python3 -m http.server 8080`
+   - If stopped, restart: `cd /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP && python3 -m http.server 8080 &`
+
+2. **Open Firefox:**
+   - Click Firefox icon on desktop
+   - In address bar, type: `http://localhost:8080`
+   - Press Enter
+
+3. **Verify application loaded:**
+   - Page should load completely
+   - All UI elements visible
+   - No errors in browser console (F12 → Console tab)
+
+### 5.2 Verify Offline Functionality
+
+- [ ] Page loads completely
+- [ ] All UI elements are visible
+- [ ] No error messages in browser console (F12)
+- [ ] Images/assets display correctly
+- [ ] No network requests are visible in Network tab (F12)
+
+### 5.3 Test Application Features
+
+**Basic Functionality:**
+
+```
+- [ ] Can generate new seed phrase
+- [ ] Can input existing seed phrase
+- [ ] Can encrypt seed phrase
+- [ ] Can generate PGP key
+- [ ] QR codes generate correctly
+```
+
+**Entropy Sources (all should work offline):**
+
+- [ ] Dice entropy input works
+- [ ] User mouse/keyboard entropy captures
+- [ ] Random.org is NOT accessible (verify UI indicates offline mode)
+- [ ] Audio entropy can be recorded
+
+### 5.4 Generate Your Seed Phrase
+
+1. Navigate to main application
+2. Choose entropy source (Dice, Audio, or Interaction)
+3. Follow prompts to generate entropy
+4. Review generated 12/24-word seed phrase
+5. **Write down on paper** (do NOT screenshot, use only pen & paper)
+6. Verify BIP39 validation passes
+
+---
+
+## Phase 6: Secure Storage & Export
+
+### 6.1 Export Encrypted Backup (Optional)
+
+If you want to save encrypted backup to USB:
+
+1. Use application's export feature
+2. Encrypt with strong passphrase
+3. Save to Application USB
+4. **Do NOT save to host machine**
+
+### 6.2 Generate PGP Key (Optional)
+
+1. Use seedpgp-web to generate PGP key
+2. Export private key (encrypted)
+3. Save encrypted to USB if desired
+4. **Passphrase should be memorable but not written**
+
+### 6.3 Verify No Leaks
+
+In Firefox Developer Tools (F12):
+
+- **Network tab**: Should show only `localhost:8080` requests (all local)
+- **Application/Storage**: Check nothing persistent was written
+- **Console**: No fetch/XHR errors to external sites
+
+**To verify server is local-only:**
+
+```bash
+# In terminal, check network connections
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 8080
+# Should show: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8080 (LISTEN only on localhost)
+# NOT on 0.0.0.0 or external interface
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 7: Shutdown & Cleanup
+
+### 7.1 Stop HTTP Server & Secure Shutdown
+
+```bash
+# Stop the http.server gracefully
+killall python3
+# Or find the PID and kill it
+ps aux | grep http.server
+kill -9 <PID>  # Replace <PID> with actual process ID
+
+# Verify it stopped
+ps aux | grep http.server  # Should show nothing
+
+# Then power off Tails completely
+sudo poweroff
+
+# You can also:
+# - Select "Power Off" from Tails menu
+# - Or simply close/restart the laptop
+```
+
+**Important:** Killing the server ensures no background processes remain before shutdown.
+
+### 7.2 Physical USB Handling
+
+- [ ] Eject Application USB physically
+- [ ] Eject Tails USB physically
+- [ ] Store both in secure location
+- **Tails memory is volatile** - all session data gone after power-off
+
+### 7.3 Host Machine Cleanup (Machine A)
+
+```bash
+# Remove build artifacts if desired (optional)
+rm -rf dist/
+
+# Clear sensitive files from shell history
+history -c
+
+# Optionally wipe Machine A's work directory
+rm -rf ~/workspace/seedpgp-web/
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 8: Verification & Best Practices
+
+### 8.1 Before Production Use - Full Test Run
+
+**Test on macOS with Bun first:**
+
+```bash
+cd seedpgp-web
+bun install
+make build-offline  # Build with relative paths
+make serve-local    # Serve on http://localhost:8000
+# Open Safari: http://localhost:8000
+# Verify: all assets load, no console errors, no network requests
+```
+
+1. Complete Phases 1-7 with test run on Tails
+2. Verify seed phrase generation works reliably
+3. Test entropy sources work offline
+4. Confirm PGP key generation (if using)
+5. Verify export/backup functionality
+
+### 8.2 Security Best Practices
+
+- [ ] **Air-gap is primary defense**: No network = no exfiltration
+- [ ] **Tails is ephemeral**: Always boot fresh, always clean shutdown
+- [ ] **Paper backups**: Write seed phrase with pen/paper only
+- [ ] **Multiple USBs**: Keep Tails and Application USB separate
+- [ ] **Verify hash**: Optional - generate hash of `dist/` folder to verify integrity on future builds
+
+### 8.3 Future Seed Generation
+
+Repeat these steps for each new seed phrase:
+
+1. **Boot Tails** from Tails USB (network disconnected)
+2. **Insert Application USB** when Tails is running
+3. **Start HTTP server:**
+
+   ```bash
+   cd /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP
+   python3 -m http.server 8080 &
+   ```
+
+4. **Open Firefox** → `http://localhost:8080`
+5. **Generate seed phrase** (choose entropy source)
+6. **Write on paper** (pen & paper only, no screenshots)
+7. **Stop server and shutdown:**
+
+   ```bash
+   killall python3
+   sudo poweroff
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Issue: Application USB Not Mounting on Tails
+
+**Solution**:
+
+```bash
+# Check if recognized
+sudo lsblk
+
+# Manual mount
+sudo mkdir -p /media/usb
+sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /media/usb
+ls /media/usb
+```
+
+### Issue: Black Screen / Firefox Won't Start
+
+**Solution**:
+
+- Let Tails fully boot (may take 2-3 minutes)
+- Try manually starting Firefox from Applications menu
+- Check memory requirements (Tails recommends 2GB+ RAM)
+
+### Issue: Assets Not Loading (Broken Images/Styling)
+
+**Solution**:
+
+```bash
+# Verify file structure on USB
+ls -la /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP/assets/
+
+# Check permissions
+chmod -R 755 /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP/
+```
+
+### Issue: Browser Console Shows Errors
+
+**Solution**:
+
+- Check if `index.html` references external URLs
+- Verify `vite.config.ts` doesn't have external dependencies
+- Review network tab - should show only `localhost:8080` requests
+
+### Issue: Can't Access <http://localhost:8080>
+
+**Solution**:
+
+```bash
+# Verify http.server is running
+ps aux | grep http.server
+
+# If not running, restart it
+cd /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP
+python3 -m http.server 8080 &
+
+# If port 8080 is in use, try another port
+python3 -m http.server 8081 &
+# Then access http://localhost:8081
+```
+
+### Issue: "Connection refused" in Firefox
+
+**Solution**:
+
+```bash
+# Check if port is listening
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 8080
+
+# If not, the server stopped. Restart it:
+cd /media/amnesia/SEEDPGP
+python3 -m http.server 8080 &
+
+# Wait a few seconds and refresh Firefox (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Security Checklist Summary
+
+Before each use:
+
+- [ ] Using Tails booted from USB (never host OS)
+- [ ] Application USB inserted (separate from Tails USB)
+- [ ] Network disconnected or Tor disabled
+- [ ] HTTP server started: `python3 -m http.server 8080` from USB
+- [ ] Accessing <http://localhost:8080> (not file://)
+- [ ] Firefox console shows no external requests
+- [ ] All entropy sources working offline
+- [ ] Seed phrase written on paper only
+- [ ] HTTP server stopped before shutdown
+- [ ] USB ejected after use
+- [ ] Tails powered off completely
+
+---
+
+## Appendix A: Makefile Commands Quick Reference
+
+All build commands are available via Makefile on Machine A:
+
+```bash
+make help              # Show all available commands
+make install           # Install Bun dependencies
+make build-offline     # Build with relative paths (for Tails/offline)
+make serve-local       # Test locally on http://localhost:8000
+make audit             # Security audit for network calls
+make verify-offline    # Verify offline compatibility
+make full-build-offline  # Complete pipeline: clean → build → verify → audit
+make clean             # Remove dist/ folder
+```
+
+**Example workflow:**
+
+```bash
+cd seedpgp-web
+make install
+make audit              # Security check
+make full-build-offline # Build and verify
+# Copy to USB when ready
+```
+
+---
+
+## Appendix B: Local Testing on macOS Before Tails
+
+**Why test locally first?**
+
+- Catch build issues early
+- Verify all assets load correctly
+- Confirm no network requests
+- Validation before USB transfer
+
+**Steps:**
+
+```bash
+cd seedpgp-web
+make build-offline  # Build with relative paths
+make serve-local    # Start local server
+# Open Safari: http://localhost:8000
+# Test functionality, then Ctrl+C to stop
+```
+
+When served locally on <http://localhost:8000>, assets load correctly. On Tails via <http://localhost:8080>, the same relative paths work seamlessly.
+
+---
+
+## Appendix C: Why HTTP Server Instead of file:// Protocol?
+
+### The Problem with file:// Protocol
+
+Opening `file:///path/to/index.html` directly has limitations:
+
+- **Browser security restrictions** - Some features may be blocked or behave unexpectedly
+- **Asset loading issues** - Sporadic failures with relative/absolute paths
+- **localStorage limitations** - Storage APIs may not work reliably
+- **CORS restrictions** - Even local files face CORS-like restrictions on some browsers
+- **Debugging difficulty** - Hard to distinguish app issues from browser security issues
+
+### Why http.server Solves This
+
+Python's `http.server` module:
+
+1. **Mimics production environment** - Behaves like a real web server
+2. **Completely offline** - Server runs only on localhost (127.0.0.1:8080)
+3. **No internet required** - No connection to external servers
+4. **Browser compatible** - Works reliably across Firefox, Safari, Chrome
+5. **Identical to macOS testing** - Same mechanism for both platforms
+6. **Simple & portable** - Python3 comes pre-installed on Tails
+
+**Verify the server is local-only:**
+
+```bash
+sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 8080
+# Output should show: 127.0.0.1:8080 LISTEN (localhost only)
+# NOT 0.0.0.0:8080 (would indicate public access)
+```
+
+This ensures your seedpgp-web app runs in a standard HTTP environment without any network exposure. ✅
