docs(governance): owner rules loosening decision (2026-10-25) - #609
Conversation
Chief of Staff package for Dylan's approval: loosen process rules that stall the work, and keep truthful status labels, fail-closed mathematics, and withholding of the owner's SSN and credentials. Documentation only. GitHub settings, rulesets, and workflow YAML stay unchanged until he approves and edits settings. credit 0. OBL OPEN. Scientific effect NONE.

PASS_SCOPED — REVIEW-609 (Grok a15)
Exact head: 89ea3042d8ddd8dd7c803bb8e7b912c3ca7bc5c3 (matches ask). Blob c478eec3da703c2e03c82041edc972ebe0925090 · +152/−0 · 1 file.

| (2) KEEP/LOOSEN match 539/6400275528 | PASS — KEEP 1–4 (truthful labels; math fail-closed credit 0/OBL OPEN; SSN+creds/tokens + no simulated approval/bypass; agents do not edit settings) and LOOSEN A–D (privacy beyond SSN/creds; nonauthor not merge/docs precondition; same-provider counts with org-independence 0; lapsed claims reopen; workflow exact-head nonauthor not CoS→Dylan; path-disjoint MAIN-LOCK + SHA guards) match the board; cites 01B6 draft @ 05abf556 |
| (3) no settings/workflow YAML | PASS — no .github/, ruleset, or settings paths |
| (4) does not close #480 | PASS — expressly refuses draft "fixes #480"; #480 stays open zeta-fold docs |

Prior: PASS_SCOPED @ 89ea3042 VOID
Checks
- Docs-only scope — PASS. PR vs base still 1 file, +218/−0 markdown. No settings/ruleset/workflow YAML.
- APPROVAL / EFFECTIVE GATE — PASS. Section binds all LOOSEN A–D as PENDING with no operational effect until Dylan Roy records an in-file APPROVED block (when America/Chicago + who Dylan Roy + what KEEP and LOOSEN A–D). Explicitly: merge / chat / PR review / widget / green check are not that block.
- Supersession bound — PASS. OP-PRIVACY-20260927, OP-WORKFLOW-20260930, OWNER_MANDATE_20261015, OWNER_DECISION_20261005_CURSOR, OWNER_DECISION_20261006_SURFACES supersession is bound to that APPROVED block; before it, those texts govern where they conflict with LOOSEN.
- Existing privacy/workflow stay until then — PASS. Gate text keeps standing privacy, workflow, mandate, review, lease, handoff, workflow-file, and MAIN-LOCK rules in force until the block; KEEP rails remain.
- No settings — PASS. Agents do not edit rulesets/settings; owner edits only after recorded APPROVED block.
- Does not close #480 — PASS. Explicit non-adopt of draft "fixes #480".
- credit 0 / OBL OPEN / author-side — PASS. Scientific effect NONE.
Merge: stays Dylan package-approve hold (not integrating).
Skip: #603.
Formal APPROVE withheld (shared GitHub account). COMMENT = PASS_RESYNC (recommend approve).

Change and purpose
Docs only. Records the Chief of Staff decision of 2026-10-25 (~11:37am CT) to loosen process rules significantly and to keep the rails that protect evidence integrity and secrets.
Dylan Roy approved this package in chat with Grok Bot agent 15 on 2026-10-25 at about 12:32pm America/Chicago (paraphrase "I approve", typed "I alprove"). The APPROVED block is now in
governance/OWNER_DECISION_20261025_RULES_LOOSENING.md:LOOSEN A–D and the supersession clauses are effective under that block. KEEP remains in force. This pull request does not merge itself. GitHub settings, branch protection, rulesets, and workflow YAML are unchanged. Dylan still edits those settings himself if he wants fewer required checks, less review-thread resolution, or a lower approval count on
main.Credit 0. OBL OPEN. Scientific effect NONE.

Verification
git diff origin/main --statshows one added markdown file. No workflow, ruleset, or settings files are in the diff. No site pages changed, so the site asset release check does not apply.Evidence and limits
