+The transformation is real — GitAlive's first run on this very repo caught a CI pipeline wearing no badge, a project name living only inside a PNG, and contributor docs one plugin behind, all fixed behind the ratify gate. Deliberate choices stay quiet: waive an item once and re-runs never nag you about it.
