# 009 localization / location: AXP vs LOS (deferred — FR-018)

**Status**: Look later — **not** an MVP acceptance gate.

Owner note (2026-09-17): AXP has historically felt aggressive on localization /
location; want a deliberate compare vs stock LineageOS before cloning that
policy blindly.

## What to compare later

| Area | AXP / GOLDEN | Stock LOS 23 | Decision TBD |
|------|--------------|--------------|--------------|
| Network location / NLP backends | microG BeaconDB path (see `004`/`005` docs) | LOS + microG defaults | |
| Location permission defaults | | | |
| Privacy toggles / sensors | | | |
| Extra lockdown patches | | | |
| UX: “how much it capea” | Owner complaint baseline | | |

## Until then

Do **not** invent extra location lockdown beyond what the rest of the AXP clone
already implies. Matrix row = `deferred`.
