• 📚 360 Documents - 291 developer guides + 69 release notes (Apex, LWC, REST API, Metadata API, and more)
• 🏠 100% Local - All data stays on your machine, works offline
• ⚡ Fast - Sub-second query latency with intelligent filtering + LRU caching
• 🔍 Smart Fallback - Expands search if topic-filtered results are sparse
• 📦 Packageable - Pure JavaScript (sql.js), no native dependencies
• 🔐 Secure - Parameterized queries, input validation with zod
