# TASK: Amend agent-stack GOVERNANCE.md release policy (mechanical gate)

## Objective
Replace the per-release founder gate in agent-stack GOVERNANCE.md with a mechanical release gate modeled on TSYSGroupAIOS.

## Context
- Current GOVERNANCE.md (~L33): "reachableceo: capture anywhere, anytime. Approve releases (founder gate)."
- TSYSGroupAIOS (~/projects/TSYSGroupAIOS, per Charles 2026-08-28) establishes the model: policy in AGENTS.md prose, enforcement via git hooks + scripts/check-rules.sh audit; audit-clean = shippable.
- Proposed policy: agent-stack tooling releases are PRE-APPROVED when the repo's mechanical checks pass (bash -n on scripts, git commit hooks, no changes outside tooling/). Founder gate is RETAINED for: systemd units, relaunchers/stack-touching scripts, multiuser/perms changes, credentials/.

## Constraints
- Edit only /home/_crossfeed/tooling/agent-stack/GOVERNANCE.md; commit to that repo; no other files.
- Wording must stay plain-language (Charles reads this doc).
- Do not rename or touch /home/_crossfeed/founder/ references (separate pending decision).

## Deliverables
1. GOVERNANCE.md amended with the mechanical-gate release policy.
2. Commit with clear message.
3. REPORT to inbox-pmo with the diff.
