Reference: org governance & release runbooks

Section titled “Reference: org governance & release runbooks”

This repository follows the shared governance, CI, and release process of the modeled-information-format organization. Those processes are maintained once, centrally, in the org .github repository and apply to every repo that adopts the attested-delivery backbone — including this one. The runbooks below are the authoritative, governing process; this page makes them reachable from here.

RunbookWhat it governs
Release runbookThe required, audit-gated attested release process: punch-list audit, epics + sub-issues, a decision log, a release workplan issue, one PR per epic under GitHub Flow, and the attested cutover.
Branch-protection runbookThe required-checks, single-review, and linear-history rules applied to protected branches.
Dependabot auto-merge runbookThe policy and rollout for auto-merging patch Dependabot updates via the org CI app — minor/major and non-semver bumps stay manual for review.
Labels runbookThe org-wide label taxonomy and the reusable label-sync that keeps every repo consistent.

This repo’s CI and release gates are thin SHA-pinned callers of the org’s reusable workflows in .github/.github/workflows/ — SAST (CodeQL/Semgrep), SCA (OSV-Scanner), Trivy, Checkov, Scorecard, secrets, VEX, actionlint, shellcheck, sign-and-attest, and verify-gates. The architecture is recorded in the org ADR-002: reusable quality-gate architecture.
