 `.github` is the org command center for reviewer routing, truth boundaries, and claim controls. It does not create proof authority. Proof records live in [hawkinsoperations-proof](https://github.com/HawkinsOperations/hawkinsoperations-proof), and the current public ceiling remains `CONTROLLED_TEST_VALIDATED` unless a specific proof record says otherwise. Runtime, signal, public-safe, production, SOCaaS, autonomous SOC, AI-approved disposition, and analyst-approved disposition claims remain blocked unless explicitly proven and approved.
 
+Public Control Board: A public-safe project board showing Built, Proven, Blocked, Deferred, and Review Path states. It is a routing/status snapshot only. It does not mirror the private Control Board and does not create proof, runtime truth, signal truth, public-safe approval, or merge authority.
