Standards

$repo: $(System.Collections.Hashtable.Name) Layer role: $(System.Collections.Hashtable.Role)

This file binds the repository to the shared Terra donor standard.

Inheritance rule

This repository inherits its compact standard layer from:

• erra-legal/DOCUMENTATION-STANDARD.md
• erra-legal/TECHNICAL_GLOSSARY.md
• erra-legal/GITHUB_LAYER_MODEL.md

Local obligations

• keep the public surface English-first;
• do not use fake DOI placeholders;
• keep citation, release, and audit surfaces coherent;
• preserve layer boundaries instead of flattening theory, practice, archive, and governance;
• keep changes traceable and readable for humans first.

Minimal standard set

• README.md

• CITATION.cff

• CONTRIBUTING.md

• SECURITY.md

• CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md

• DOCUMENTATION-STANDARD.md

• TECHNICAL_GLOSSARY.md

• LIVING_INDEX.md "@

This index is living. It may evolve as the repository gains stronger structure, but it should always preserve a readable entry path for humans.
