BLUF

• Tracks central governance#112/Feature Request: control beacon transmission using an external command wb2osz/direwolf#179: document the owner-approved protected-branch operating contract after the two rulesets were activated and independently read back.
• AGENTS.md now records the dated rule IDs, eight exact context/App identities, normal signed/DCO merge gates and narrow PR-only emergency boundary. It requires fresh live readback rather than treating these dated instructions as current enforcement proof.
• No source/runtime, dependency, workflow, rule, scanner, credential or publication change. This is useful contributor guidance and an ordinary maintenance PR; it may provide positive merge evidence under the new controls, not a negative-test or acceptance substitute.

Security Review Evidence and validation

• Reviewed the one-file diff against active rulesets26542532/26542536 and central#182's payloads; no privilege expansion, bypass over hard gates, invented status context or fake human acceptance. Existing instructions retained.
• Diff check and staged Gitleaks passed. No local native tests rerun for documentation-only changes; every repository-required hosted native/CodeQL gate must actually pass at this signed/DCO head before normal merge. Inspect full reviews/threads and GitHub signatures.
• No admin bypass or unsafe master probe. Root will read integrated ancestry, checks/analyses and applicable policy evidence afterward. Governance#112/Feature Request: control beacon transmission using an external command wb2osz/direwolf#179 remain open for their own acceptance criteria and board readback.

Lessons Learned

• LL0002 preserves the distinction between symptom/root control; LL0003 uses existing workflows/scanner owner; LL0004/0011 require live exact-head, App and output correlation; LL0005/0010 require signing/DCO and authoritative verification; LL0007 preserves unrelated work. No factory/Codespace/catalogue/identity-scope change.
• Complexity removed or justified: reference central policy once, explain existing controls in operating guidance; add no duplicate enforcement or new workflow.
• Project9/10 owning issues remain In Progress; PR field addition/readback remains pending the recorded authorised UI fault.

🔵 Needs a closer look

Inaccessible governance issues and unavailable live ruleset state prevent independent verification of ruleset/App identities and emergency-bypass boundaries, requiring an authorized maintainer’s review against approved policy.

No open issues 🎉

What changed in this PR

This documentation-only PR explains the protected-branch operating requirements for contributors without changing runtime behavior or enforcement.

Changes:

Review summary reconciled: root used existing owner-authorised API access to independently inspect active rulesets26542532/26542536, effective default-branch union and exact context/App producers. The reviewer's lack of live/cross-repo tools is preserved as a limitation, not counted as verification. The approved policy is merged centrally in#182; selected actual activation readback is merged in central#183 at d600a7e0f61d968adeb52ffa423f2d928b37f35f. Hard controls have no bypass; only PR review has OrganizationAdmin/pull_request, with0 mandatory approvals and resolved threads. Both native runs/3 analyses/aggregate at exact24a678c are successful and the signature/DCO is valid. No code/source finding or unresolved thread remains; no bot comment is represented as human approval/operational acceptance. Normal merge only, no admin override; wb2osz#112/wb2osz#179 stay open for their remaining criteria.
