What the pack adds

The app keeps its own interface. This runs underneath it.

Web search, no account
DuckDuckGo through a maintained client. No key, no sign-up, nothing hosted.
An agent behind the chat box
Tools, memory and skills answer on the API the app already speaks, so its interface needs no changes.
Your own model
llama.cpp, ollama, vLLM and LM Studio are discovered automatically; --setup-model installs one sized to the machine.
Weights without an account
Resumable, rate-capped and size-verified, so a dropped connection costs minutes rather than the whole download.

About

GobboNet (Elodine / GoblinCorps, MIT) is a local-first chat client: pick a model, open a page, talk. Nothing leaves the machine. Its maintainer has publicly described what it is NOT good at, and the list is specific:

"Can not: be a complex agent ... run an intense harness ... reliably produce code outside context limits [most agents have special sauce to handle this]" "Will soon be able to: produce more complex file structures [spreadsheets, slides, etc] ... group chat where multiple AIs speak to the other ... read text it generates back to you"

This pack is that harness, offered so those stay strengths of GobboNet rather than a rewrite of it. The "special sauce" is not a secret: it is a turn loop that keeps a working set small and re-derivable, so a long task does not depend on everything fitting in one window.

THE CONSTRAINT THAT SHAPES EVERYTHING BELOW: GobboNet's value is that it runs on YOUR machine with no account. An integration that quietly needs a hosted service would take the product's whole point away. So this pack is built to run against the user's OWN local model, and every capability that genuinely cannot be local is marked optional and degrades to a clear message rather than a broken feature.
