Executive Summary

Scope

• This folder (docs/00-governance/) is the canonical governance source for project state, priorities, architecture intent, and active execution guidance.
• Governance is aligned to Sprint 2 (SIM validation) with production hardening gaps tracked and prioritized.

Current Position (2026-04-05)

• Core engine is implemented with 240+ passing tests across core components.
• NT8 execution path is wired and validated in SIM for baseline operation.
• Remaining work is focused on closing operational hardening gaps and validating runner behavior under production-like conditions.

Approved Direction

• Keep execution in managed-order NT8 patterns and C# 5.0 / .NET Framework 4.8 constraints.
• Complete critical and high-priority hardening tasks before expanding strategy scope.
• Treat historical handover artifacts as context only; governance decisions flow from this folder.

Immediate Priorities

• Confirm runner-leg dual-fill behavior in analyzer/session logs.
• Close safety and observability items already identified in Sprint 2/3 gap tracking.
• Maintain strict file-boundary and compile-guardrail discipline for all changes.
