# 🚧 Technical Limitations & Market Positioning
## The "Sovereign Evolution" Context (v2.0.2)

While the **AgentOps Cockpit** is a powerful "Mission Control" for Sovereign AI Agents, it is designed for **Development Velocity** and **Governance-as-Code**, not as a replacement for specialized enterprise engineering suites.

---

## ⚖️ Comparison & Positioning

### 1. Load Testing vs. Enterprise Suites (JMeter/Locust)
**Is this a replacement?** ❌ No.

| Feature | Cockpit Load Test | JMeter / Locust.io |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Scale** | Local (capped by machine) | Distributed (1M+ concurrent users) |
| **Protocols** | HTTP REST / A2UI Handshakes | Websockets, gRPC, MQTT, etc. |
| **Analysis** | Summary Table (p90, TTFT) | Real-time APM Heatmaps |

**Best Use Case**: A "Safe-Build" sanity check to ensure your **Sovereign Gateway** doesn't have immediate concurrency bottlenecks before promotion.

### 2. Architecture Review vs. Static Analysis (Snyk/SonarQube)
**Is this a replacement?** ❌ No.

*   **Logic**: The Cockpit uses **SME Reasoning** (AST + Semantic Graph Probing) to detect agent-specific architectural debt (e.g. RAG for Math).
*   **Capabilities**: It performs structural analysis to identify Sovereign Gaps, PII scrubbers, and hardcoded secrets.
*   **Best Use Case**: Verifying high-fidelity alignment with **Sovereign Evolution** standards.

---

### 3. Red Team vs. Penetration Testing
**Is this a replacement?** ❌ No.

*   **Logic**: Uses a curated set of adversarial prompts (Injection, Jailbreaking) authored by the **SecOps SME**.
*   **Limitation**: It lacks the creative pivot capabilities of a human pen-tester.
*   **Best Use Case**: Automated safety regression testing to ensure code hardening hasn't regressed.

## 🛠️ Summary of Limitations (v2.0.2)

1.  **Multi-Cloud Dependency**: While the **Sovereign Bridge** abstracts logic, deployment still requires valid cloud-native credentials/IAM for target regions.
2.  **Environment Visibility**: The Cockpit audits the *code* and *manifest*. It cannot see live cloud infrastructure states (e.g., if an AWS Security Group is misconfigured).
3.  **Local Context**: It assumes access to the local filesystem. Remote repository auditing requires a `git clone` first.

---
**Verdict**: Use the Cockpit to **Standardize and Govern** your Sovereign Fleets. Use specialized enterprise tools for **Deep Infrastructure Validation**.
