description: Mandatory governance sync before session end (SD-17)

# Governance sync — hard prerequisite (SD-17)

Before closing any work session in **{{repo.name}}**, update both governance docs together:

1. `{{docs.roadmap_path}}` — phase/build status reflects reality
2. `{{docs.handover_path}}` — NEXT SESSION block regenerated from those docs (docs-first; never from memory)

## Closing commit rule

The session-ending commit on the current feature branch **must bundle**:

- code and/or tests touched this session
- `{{docs.roadmap_path}}`
- `{{docs.handover_path}}`

A commit that omits either governance doc is **incomplete**.

## Tier 1 — do without asking

| Action | Authority |
| --- | --- |
| Muse or Git commit on feature branch | SD-1, SD-17 |
| `git push` to feature branch | SD-17 |
| Open PR from feature branch | SD-17 |
| Run test suite | always |
| Regenerate handover from updated roadmap | SD-17 |

## Tier 3 — always stop

- Merge to `{{vcs.git.main_branch}}` (Muse or GitHub)
- `muse push {{vcs.muse.staging_remote}}` (when regime includes Muse staging)
- Live capability / posture gate flips
- Real payments, secrets, data deletion

## Model label

Every NEXT block and paste-ready prompt **must** include **`Model:`** per `policy/model-labels.yaml`.

## VCS regime

This repo: **`{{vcs.regime}}`** (canonical: **`{{vcs.canonical}}`**). See `policy/tiers.yaml` for regime-specific mirror rules.
