Public operating rules
Integrity and funding boundaries
Evidence integrity
The public data root detects changes to the published dataset but does not replace signed releases, source history, or independent reproduction. Reviews are evidence—not certification, warranty, or assurance of universal safety.
Funding integrity
Wallet- or project-directed donations remain earmarked. Matching-pool funds are accounted for separately and require published allocation criteria, caps, approvers, destination, rationale, and reversion rules.
Custody
The site, CI, Hermes, and review agents must not hold unrestricted treasury signing keys. Public payment channels remain disabled until receive information and accounting are independently verified.
