Summary

Adds docs/competitive-feature-scope.md — a grounded scoping doc for competing with Home Assistant and Homebridge on Lumen's terms (calm, explainable, consent-before-action), not by cloning their breadth/density.

The doc maps each competitor onto the one gap where Lumen genuinely locks a user out today:

Competitor User need Lumen's gap
Homebridge Control devices Apple Home can't see Lumen speaks only HomeKit (+ fire-and-forget IR)
Home Assistant Rich automation triggers (time, sensor, conditional) Scene has one trigger axis — geofence arrival/departure

Scope tiers

  • Tier 1 (lock-out gaps): a second real SmartHomeBridge for local-LAN devices (DeviceService is already multi-bridge, routing by device.bridgeID — HomeKit is just the first bridge); time/schedule triggers for scenes, generalizing the single geofenceTrigger.
  • Tier 2 (latent capability → explainable automation): sensor-driven suggestions (feed the already-ingested motion/contact streams into SuggestionEngine), an explainable conditional-rule builder, and a calm "what happened today" history over the persisted ExecutionEvents.
  • Tier 3: richer notifications, incremental capability breadth, config export, Matter commissioning (already Roadmap Phase 5).

Moat guardrails

Explicit non-goals section reaffirms ROADMAP.md: no auto-apply-without-confirmation, no plugin runtime, no cloud integrations, no dashboard-density race. Flags the one open decision that needs a ROADMAP.md sign-off before building — whether a scheduled scene firing directly counts as pre-given consent.

Docs-only change; no code or tests touched.

Add a grounded feature-scoping doc that maps the two competitors onto the
two gaps where Lumen genuinely locks users out today — HomeKit-only device
support (Homebridge's niche) and geofence-only automation triggers (Home
Assistant's niche) — and scopes closing both on Lumen's calm/consent terms.
