Ownership Model

The repository is easiest to trust when ownership can be stated in layers without hesitation.

The product packages own runtime and domain behavior. The repository root owns only what genuinely crosses package boundaries: shared docs structure, schema governance, validation coordination, and release framing. The maintenance handbook exists for repository health, not for product behavior.

Ownership Layers

• product behavior belongs in packages/agentic-proteins and packages/bijux-proteomics-*
• shared governance belongs in the repository handbook and root automation
• maintainer automation belongs in packages/bijux-proteomics-dev and the maintenance handbook

Purpose

This page names the ownership layers that keep repository rules, product code, and maintainer tooling from blurring together.

Stability

Update it only when authority genuinely moves between those layers.
