# Governance

**Version:** 1.0.0  
**Language:** English  
**Status:** Stable  
**Applies to:** Oluntir 1.0.0  
**Last updated:** 2026-07-29

Oluntir is currently maintained by a single project maintainer.

## Decision areas

The maintainer controls release scope, architecture, dependency inclusion, licensing records, issue prioritization, and repository access.

## Change acceptance

Changes are accepted when they are technically justified, compatible with the project architecture, documented, tested, and license-compliant. Acceptance does not imply a scheduled release date.

## Releases

Release candidates may include feature consolidation and compatibility corrections. Stable releases require completion of the release checklist and resolution of release-blocking defects.
