Shared governance for every repo under the traverse-framework GitHub organization: constitution, non-functional requirements, quality standards, antipatterns, compatibility policy, exception process, contributor license agreement, issue/PR templates, the shared spec-alignment CI gate script, and AI-agent hardening rules.

Default templates GitHub falls back to for any repo in this org that doesn't define its own |
Each repo (traverse, registry, etc.) vendors a pinned copy of the content it needs (constitution, docs, CI script) rather than duplicating and independently maintaining it. A repo's own CLAUDE.md states which version of this governance it has adopted. Adopting a new version is a deliberate step — never automatic or silent.
This repo does not have its own GitHub Project board — governance work here is tracked via issues and PRs only.
