Stephen Reed is the sole administrator and custodian of this repository. He controls release
approval and is answerable for published content. No organization name, site design, automated
check, or AI-assisted review changes that fact.

The complete operative statement is [`GOVERNANCE.md`](../../GOVERNANCE.md).
