Source Engineering - Project Governance Notes

This file is not the discipline README. The discipline README is at the top-level README.md. This file holds project-level governance notes that surface on the GitHub Insights / About pane.

What this repo is

The working home for the Source Engineering discipline: framework, reference architecture, and reference tooling.

Issue and PR templates (future)

When Slice 1 opens, this directory will carry:

• .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/pillar-critique.md
• .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/cots-proposal.md
• .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/validation-finding.md
• .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md

Workflows (future)

When the first CI gate is needed (Slice 2 + reference implementation), workflows will live here.
