# Sea Haven Governance

**Standards authority:** engineering-handbook · **Status authority:** Jira

## Routing

- Product / feature work → DEV
- Infrastructure and platform → PLAT
- Security → SEC

## Branches

`feature/`, `fix/`, `hotfix/`, `chore/`, `docs/`, `refactor/`, `release/` + kebab-case description.
No Jira keys in branch names.

## Pull Requests

**Title:** `type(scope): description (DEV-123)` — every non-exempt PR ends with its Jira key.

**Body sections (in order):** Summary · Validation · Tests · Notes — use "None." when a section is empty.
State verifiable facts only. Do not cite the handbook to justify changes.

Allowed types: `feat` `fix` `docs` `style` `refactor` `perf` `test` `build` `ci` `chore` `revert` `release`.

## CI and SHA Pins

Pin every GitHub Actions ref to a full commit SHA with an inline version comment:

```yaml
uses: actions/checkout@abc123def456 # v4.1.0
```

The deterministic global pre-push security hook must not be bypassed (`--no-verify` requires
explicit approval). Linting stays in CI; do not gate on it locally.

## Repository Note

**Docs-only repository.** CI runs markdownlint and lychee; no build or test artifacts are produced.
The required check context for branch protection is `ci / ci` — the job must be named literally
`ci / ci` to emit that exact context string. Do not rename the job without updating the ruleset.
