Technical steering

Technical authority lives close to the work.

The technical steering function will coordinate maintainers, reviews, compatibility, and release discipline.

Technical steering

Good technical governance makes room for disagreement without losing direction.

This page is ready for the technical steering roster, remit, review cadence, and decision log when those records are available.

Until then, project governance in source remains the working authority for code: maintainer review, compatibility, least authority, and public architecture records.

Maintainers

People closest to the implementation.

Technical stewardship should respect the context of maintainers and implementers.

Conformance

Compatibility is a practice.

A specification matters when independent implementations can test against it.

Review

Disagreement is part of rigor.

Public review is a quality mechanism, not a ceremony.
