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
