Generated code policy
.sando.go files are compiler-managed outputs only when they contain the exact Sandwich Hime generated marker and name the adjacent .sando source. “Compiler-managed” describes replacement behavior, not copyright ownership. The compiler may atomically replace that exact output; it never edits other Go files.
Generated files are committed by default so production builds and source audits do not require the compiler. himesan check recreates output in memory and reports missing, invalid, or stale files without writing.
Output must be deterministic for identical source, compiler version, runtime ABI, and platform-independent inputs. Unchanged bytes retain their existing timestamp. If any affected source cannot be parsed, context-checked, or formatted, no output in that operation is replaced and last-good files remain available.
The template/application author chooses the generated file's license to the extent they hold the necessary rights. A project-wide license may cover generated files because inline headers would be overwritten. Sandwich Hime adds provenance metadata, not an AGPL license identifier or a compiler copyright claim.
OUTPUT_EXCEPTION.md is an additional permission for Cole Speelman-owned generator scaffolding copied into output. It is intended to remove licensing ambiguity without claiming that every generated file is or is not a derivative work. It does not cover third-party inputs, code copied manually from the compiler, other contributors' additions unless they grant the same permission, or the Apache-licensed runtime.
