-The **Go poller** communicates with RouterOS devices using the binary API over TLS,
-publishing metrics to NATS and persisting to PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB hypertables.
-The **FastAPI backend** enforces tenant isolation via Row-Level Security and streams
-real-time events to the **React frontend** over SSE. **OpenBao** provides Transit
-secret engine for per-tenant envelope encryption.
