Publish the sanitized Beta 1 source candidate with version-stable generated provenance, classroom/evaluation support boundaries, provisional macOS support, signed-source release policy, and an exact candidate preflight.

Material implementation, drafting, and review were assisted by OpenAI Codex. Cole Speelman reviewed the public snapshot and accepts human responsibility for the contribution.

# Founder-led governance
Sandwich Hime is founder-led. Cole Speelman is lead maintainer and has final authority over product direction, merges, releases, project identity, and security coordination. Authority is exercised through reviewable public releases, written rationale for material public decisions, and the published compatibility and release policies. Publishing a prerelease creates only the support commitment stated for that version; it does not transfer stewardship.
Pre-1.0 contributions use the DCO process described in `CONTRIBUTING.md`; the CLA draft is inactive. Acceptance is never guaranteed. Maintainers may close work that expands the product beyond an HTML-first, ahead-of-time Go template engine, weakens fail-closed safety, couples the runtime to a framework, or imposes unsustainable maintenance.
Maintainers disclose relevant employment or financial conflicts and recuse when a conflict would compromise review. If the project reaches three maintainers, no single employer may control a majority of seats.
Repository ownership, domain control, package namespace, release signing, and security recovery must not depend on a sponsor account. Before a supported v1.0.0 release, at least two independent humans must hold documented recovery capability. Succession may transfer official stewardship to a person or mission-aligned organization committed to the license map, public source releases, and trademark policy.
The project does not accept copyright assignment as a condition of contribution. It will not represent that it can proprietary-relicense contributor-owned code unless it has permission from every rights holder whose permission is required. This governance statement does not alter rights already granted by an applicable file license.
