@aaronpk The Yale Assure keyed series gets most of the way there: https://www.yalehome.com/au/en/products/smart-products/assure-lock-series/yale-assure-digital-lock
It's keyed from the outside. (And a keypad. Not sure if you want to avoid that for security, or style.)
You can enable auto-lock so it re-locks after say 30 seconds.
It's a turnable handle from inside, always unlocked.
It has modular radios, so you can choose Wi-Fi/HomeKit, Z-Wave, or ZigBee. They've also commited a Matter moduel. Pick the local control protocol you trust: https://www.yalehome.com/au/en/products/smart-products/assure-lock-series/network-modules

I want all those features and "doesn't talk to the cloud" or at least "talking to the cloud isn't necessary at all and can be disabled."
@aaronpk I am with you on this. Locks need a lot of work still in #homeautomation land.
@aaronpk I fell down that rabbit hole no fewer than four times and always came back with no new hardware. So much cloud. So little beauty.
