CLI
Local and Cloud targets
Choose where Cortex executes while preserving one governed session.
| Target | Best for | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
local |
Fast workspace work using the connected execution host | Commands and file changes require local approval |
cloud |
Durable managed work, validation and release evidence | Requires Cloud readiness and a reviewed handoff |
Select with --execution-target TARGET or /target TARGET. Availability comes
from the server and can differ by tenant, client and session.
