The governance layer turns the Cortex architecture into a controlled operating system: every material change is observed, validated, deployed, verified and recorded.
Observe → Audit → Diff → Decide → Change → Validate → Deploy → Verify → Record → Improve
Evidence supports normal operation.
A known issue or incomplete verification exists.
A dependency prevents safe operation.
Evidence is insufficient. Do not infer.
Intentionally removed from active operation.
Prove which project serves the canonical host and its GitHub/main relationship.
Cortex has pending edits; no overwrite until the state is safe.
Published redirect typo remains a controlled exception.
Compliance and webhook configuration require real dashboard verification.
External channels remain documented until successful operations prove connectivity.
Live analytics claims require confirmed backend/storage authority.
Make the system truthful before making it larger.
Protect secrets, payment authority and identity.
Stabilize payment, delivery and external routes.
Record evidence so future decisions are grounded.
Automate only after the underlying path is verified.
Grow the network after the core is controlled.
