Owner decision (2026-07-07)

The Governance Licence consistency gate has been red on main: LICENSE carried MPL-2.0 text while Cargo.toml — and 6 of 9 workspace crates — already declared AGPL-3.0-or-later. Owner ruled AGPL.

Changes

  • LICENSE → verbatim GNU AGPL-3.0 text with an SPDX-License-Identifier: AGPL-3.0-or-later header. (The gate script establishes identity from the SPDX header; AGPL isn't in its body-template table, so the header is load-bearing — body then correctly WARNs 'manual review' without failing.)
  • LICENSES/AGPL-3.0-or-later.txt added (REUSE).
  • The three lagging interface crates (grpc/graphql/rest) aligned from MPL-2.0 to AGPL-3.0-or-later.
  • guix.scm licence field → license:agpl3+ (was a palimpsest non-copyleft stub commented "MPL-2.0").
  • README badge + licence section + BibTeX, CLAUDE.md licence lines. Documentation keeps its MPL-2.0/CC-BY-SA headers (intentional doc stance); the per-file source-header migration (thousands of MPL-2.0 SPDX lines) remains the owner-managed sweep and is called out in prose.

Verification

Ran the actual gate script (standards/scripts/check-licence-consistency.sh) against this tree:

[OK] SPDX header: AGPL-3.0-or-later
[OK] Manifest licence (Cargo.toml): AGPL-3.0-or-later
[OK] Licence identity matches manifest declaration.
[OK] Licence consistency check passed.

REUSE lint findings are unchanged pre-existing debt (missing CC0/MIT/PMPL texts predate this PR).

Closes the licence half of the Governance red; the other half (Validate Hypatia Baseline) is tracked separately.

…adges, manifests (owner decision 2026-07-07)

Governance 'Licence consistency' has been red on main: LICENSE carried
MPL-2.0 text while Cargo.toml (and 6 of 9 workspace crates) already
declared AGPL-3.0-or-later. Owner ruled AGPL.

- LICENSE -> verbatim GNU AGPL-3.0 text with an SPDX identifier header
  (the gate script accepts SPDX-header identity; AGPL body is not in
  its template table, so the header is load-bearing)
- LICENSES/AGPL-3.0-or-later.txt added for REUSE
- The three lagging interface crates (grpc/graphql/rest) aligned to
  AGPL-3.0-or-later
- guix.scm license field -> license:agpl3+ (was a palimpsest-licence
  non-copyleft stub commented MPL-2.0)
- README badge/licence section/citation + CLAUDE.md licence lines
  updated; docs keep their MPL-2.0/CC-BY-SA headers (intentional doc
  stance), per-file header migration remains the owner-managed sweep

Verified: standards check-licence-consistency.sh passes locally
against this tree ('Licence identity matches manifest declaration').

…fix (#313)

Echidna's governance pin (`d7c2271`, 2026-06-01) predates the standards
baseline-gate repair (standards#455/#464/#466, merged 2026-07-03) — the
same stale-pin class as the nine repos bumped on 07-04; echidna was
missed. The old reusable runs the hypatia scan unconditionally and exits
1 on any findings ≥ medium (currently 152: 70 high / 82 medium), which
is the last red Governance sub-job (licence went green with #312).

On the current reusable (`6208833`), `Validate Hypatia Baseline` only
runs when the caller ships `.hypatia-baseline.json`; echidna has none,
so the job skips → Governance fully green. Caller contract unchanged
(single optional `runs-on` input); actionlint clean.

**Follow-up (filed separately):** generate `.hypatia-baseline.json` to
re-arm the gate with the 152 existing findings grandfathered, then burn
them down.
