+## Network endpoints
+
+The CLI may fetch remote resources when scaffolding or refreshing the template catalog:
+
+| Host | Purpose | Timeout | User-Agent |
+|------|---------|---------|------------|
+| `raw.githubusercontent.com` | Template catalog `templates.json` from `cpa-templates` | 10 s | `create-awesome-python-app/<version>` |
+| `github.com` | Template and extension repositories (git clone) | — | git |
+
+Override the catalog URL with `CPA_CATALOG_URL`. Use `CPA_OFFLINE=1` / `--offline` and local `file://` URLs when working air-gapped.
