## Architecture & Security
- **Startup:** Non-blocking asynchronous licensing cache. Revit launches in milliseconds without UI freezing.
- **Offline Support:** Cryptographically signed RSA-2048 SHA-256 node-locked licenses tied to hardware fingerprints (Motherboard, CPU, Machine GUID). Works 100% offline with 14-day token cache (`%ProgramData%\Birooni\familyloader.lic`, `viewreferencerobot.lic`, `avoidmepclash.lic`, `projectsetuptools.lic`, `route3d.lic`, and `license.lic`). Avoid MEP Clash also stores a 30-day first-run clock in `avoidmepclash-trial.txt`. Project Setup Tools stores a 15-day first-run clock in `projectsetuptools-trial.txt`. 3D Route stores a 15-day first-run clock in `route3d-trial.txt`.
- **Automated Updates:** Built-in background update engine checks for new builds via https://api.ibrooni.com, downloads ZIP packages, stages files, and updates automatically on Revit exit.
