Problem
The repository lacks a Code of Conduct and maintainer identity, CODEOWNERS lists a broad individual set because no team exists, and the security policy points to private reporting without establishing its settings/support scope. Main currently requires no approval.
Scope
CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, MAINTAINERS.md, SECURITY.md, .github/CODEOWNERS, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/config.yml, and narrowly scoped public-intake changes in AGENTS.md/docs/agents/workflow.md/coordination consumers as needed. GitHub team, Discussions, private reporting and repository protection settings.
Acceptance
- Identify @0monish as confirmed applicant/founding maintainer and retain real existing maintainers.
- Create visible @gyldlab/keld-maintainers with repository write authority, without granting new outside users access.
- CODEOWNERS parses and covers critical paths using that valid team.
- Publish enforceable conduct/reporting and pre-release security-support policies with working contact routes.
- External contributors can use public GitHub issues and ordinary forks/branches; internal agents retain claims/specs/gates.
- Require PR, current CI checks, at least one independent approval and critical CODEOWNER review; deny force-push/deletion and preserve administrator enforcement.
- Record before/after settings and independent review; no fabricated independent participation.
The user explicitly approved this foundation/governance direction. Linear connectivity was verified after initial tool discovery. Internal claims and dependencies remain in Linear; public contributors use GitHub without needing private access. No product boundary change.
Internal coordination
Maintainer execution: KEL-179. Public scope, progress and acceptance remain visible here; contributors do not need access to the internal board.
