Context

Without a documented governance model, it's unclear to external contributors how decisions get made, what happens if a PR conflicts with the architecture, and how the architecture itself is allowed to evolve over time.

What was done

  • Defined a three-level review model for contributions: automated checks, architectural compliance, and general project quality
  • Clarified that architectural changes proposed by the community only become official once the corresponding ADR/ADM documentation is updated to reflect them (Architecture Change Management)
  • Summarized the governance model in contributor-facing documentation so it doesn't only exist in the deeper ADM pages

Outcome

  • Governance model documented in the Implementation Governance ADM phase
  • Summarized for contributors directly in CONTRIBUTING.md
