Governance

Governance is a set of mechanisms enforced outside the process: auditable, trip-able, and role-scoped — not conventions alone. This series covers approval and accountability, boundary control, and runtime support.

Articles in this series

Approval and accountability

• HITL approval: self-confirm vs. third-party approval
• How the hash-chain audit works

Boundary control

• Circuit breaker: stop on breach
• RBAC and permission layers
• Identity and tenant binding
• Data retention

Runtime support

• Observability: Trace and Probe
• Multi-role team collaboration (supervisor)
• File sandbox (local / MinIO / S3)
