Research direction

The issue proposes partitioning actions across separate nodes or network zones, with results reported back to a main instance. No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by locating the existing sensor-partitioning implementation and determine how action execution and result reporting would mirror it. Done means actions can run remotely while the main instance receives their results.
