Local coding assistance
Keep source-code assistance on a controlled execution path while matching the model and runtime to the developer workstation.
Local coding assistants and agents have different runtime, context, memory and hardware demands. STACKELIER evaluates the complete configuration instead of assuming model parameter count alone determines fit.
The useful configuration depends on what the work actually contains, not only on the profession label.
Keep source-code assistance on a controlled execution path while matching the model and runtime to the developer workstation.
Evaluate agents as complete systems, including the model endpoint, tool execution path, context needs and hardware requirements.
Analyze proprietary repositories without assuming that a local editor extension also means local inference.
Use this as a constraint when comparing reference stacks and when completing the Finder.

Source code privacy depends on the complete execution path: application, data layer and inference endpoint. External inference is excluded when the requirement is that nothing leaves the controlled machine or network.
Where does the interface or service run?
Where are documents, embeddings and indexes stored?
Where does the model actually process the request?
Which authoritative sources support those claims?
These are verified launch configurations already used by the deterministic Finder. They are reference profiles, not universal recommendations.

Hard constraints win: if a mandatory privacy or hardware requirement is incompatible, the stack is excluded rather than merely ranked lower.
Use the guides for the architecture questions, compare verified baselines side by side, or run the Finder with your exact privacy and hardware constraints.
Understand the decision boundary before choosing a specific stack.

Open the relevant reference configurations side by side.
Apply your exact task, privacy requirement and hardware instead of relying on a generic baseline.
Privacy depends on where the editor or application runs, what repository data is transmitted or stored, and where the model performs inference. A local extension alone is not sufficient evidence.
They can be because agentic workflows may need larger context, repeated inference and tool interaction. STACKELIER therefore evaluates workload, runtime and hardware together rather than using parameter count alone.
Yes. Quantization, runtime overhead, context and offload behavior can change memory use and practical performance, so hardware fit belongs to the complete configuration.
