SPEC-204 / release/2026-Q2

Release candidate is feature-complete and has cleared automated gates. One governance sign-off remains before promotion.

Sign-Off Required

Spec

Intent

Make the requirement visible. A spec that needs sign-off should not look the same as one that has it; the gate is loud, bureaucratic, and unambiguous.

Acceptance Criteria

  • [ ] Rotated stamp at -8deg over an excerpt
  • [ ] Double border in attention token
  • [ ] Names the required role (@governor)
  • [ ] Negative: does NOT block clicks (pointer-events-none)

Constraints

  • Pure CSS
  • Theme-aware via tokens
