# Topic 17: Deployment & Sandbox Configuration

**Audit Date**: 2026-02-01
**Auditor**: Agent Antigravity

## 1. The Sandbox (`config.py`)
The system runs in a strict **Containerized Sandbox** logic by default.

### **Safe-Mode Flags**
| Flag | Value | Effect |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **`SANDBOX_MODE`** | `True` | Disables real-world effects (no emails sent, no real bans). |
| **`ANONYMIZE_LOGS`** | `True` | Masks PII in console logs (Privacy First). |
| **`SYNTHETIC_DATA_ONLY`** | `True` | Law Enforcement reports generate "TEST_CASE_123" IDs instead of contacting APIs. |

## 2. Deployment Readiness

### **A. Environment Variables (`.env`)**
Required for Production:
*   `GROQ_API_KEY`: Intelligence Source.
*   `GUVI_API_KEY`: Ingress Auth.
*   `DATABASE_URL`: Persistence.

### **B. Docker Compatibility**
*   **Port**: 8000 (Standard FastAPI).
*   **Host**: `0.0.0.0` (Exposed).
*   **Workers**: System is AsyncIO compatible, works with `uvicorn` workers.

---

## 3. The "Hackathon Mode" Preset
The default configuration is tuned for **Demo Performance**:
*   `ENABLE_ENGAGEMENT_DELAY`: **True** (Shows off "Human" typing).
*   `LLM_TEMPERATURE`: **0.7** (Creative/Unpredictable responses).
*   `DEBUG`: **False** (Clean output).

---

## 4. Final Verdict
The system is "Click-to-Deploy" ready.
1.  `pip install -r requirements.txt`
2.  `python -m app.main`
3.  **It Just Works.**
