Governance

RC1 planned public routes cover en and zh-Hant-TW; the 41-locale source catalog is private. This normative governance policy remains canonical in English.

Better Workflows is maintainer-led.

Decision model

• The maintainer accepts or rejects project-level design and release changes.
• Evidence, reproducible tests, safety boundaries, compatibility, and maintenance cost are considered before popularity or majority vote.
• Public contract and security-boundary changes require explicit review.
• A rejected proposal may be reconsidered when new evidence changes the trade-off.

Workflow authority

Within a Better Workflows run, Root is the only mutation and risk-acceptance authority. This runtime rule does not grant repository ownership or override GitHub permissions.

Releases

Plugin cache builds are immutable. A release candidate must pass the applicable tests, evaluation, freshness, evidence, protected-branch, and source/cache reconciliation gates before publication.

Changes to governance

Governance changes are reviewed as public-contract changes and must be recorded in repository history.
