# GeoIntel v1.0.0-rc.1 Known Limitations

## Release position

These limitations are explicit, bounded and non-deceptive. None is a hidden
CRITICAL or HIGH release defect. Coverage and capability responses remain the
runtime source of truth.

## Source coverage

- National administrative land and maritime scope is operational from
  persisted NGI/RBINS editions. Detailed themes are federated by jurisdiction;
  an operational Flemish source does not imply equivalent Walloon or Brussels
  coverage.
- Buildings, population, terrain, imagery, nature, agriculture, soil and flood
  themes may report `partial`, `not_configured` or `unsupported` outside the
  materialized source partitions. The UI and exports retain that state.
- Belgian North Sea planning/reporting boundaries are materialized. Continuous
  authoritative bathymetry acquisition remains `not_configured`; VHA profile
  observations are not presented as a seabed model or water volume.
- Official endpoints can be temporarily unavailable. Bounded acquisition fails
  closed and never substitutes fixture or fabricated production data.

## Selection semantics

- Coverage resolution currently accepts an EPSG:4326 rectangle. A rectangle
  around an irregular municipality or region can include land across a border
  or adjacent sea, so `outside_supported_scope` can be true even when the
  underlying named Area itself is wholly valid.
- Cross-region and land/sea selections stay split by legal/source zone.
  Semantically incompatible metrics are not merged.

## Historical analysis

- Historical comparison requires compatible source editions, units, coverage
  and observation periods. Sources without a governed series correctly return
  no comparable time series.
- The RC10 storage audit reports 224 unavailable historical manifest
  intermediates from prior operator runs. There are zero missing current
  database artifact references; the historical paths remain visible as
  provenance warnings and are protected from cleanup inference.

## AI

- The configured local YOLO model is opt-in, building-focused and bounded by
  its documented operator evidence. It is not claimed to be an optimally
  trained general model for all Belgian objects or themes.
- PyTorch and Ultralytics are present only in the AI image. No model weights
  auto-download. A missing local model reports unavailable.
- Real segmentation models remain placeholders; fixture segmentation is
  explicit-only. No SAM or YOLO-seg dependency is installed.

## Operations

- Long AI/GIS work still uses the existing synchronous job abstraction rather
  than a distributed durable queue. Interrupted synchronous work is marked
  failed on restart and must be retried explicitly.
- GeoIntel RC is a controlled single-operator deployment. Authentication,
  multi-user authorization and tenant isolation are outside the frozen RC
  scope.
- Cleanup remains manual, dry-run-first and confirmation-gated. No automatic
  retention schedule is installed.
