description	Governance (Rust) — trust enforcement, verification gradient, delegation, human intervention.

Governance Patterns

Quick reference for EATP/CARE/COC/PACT governance patterns in the Kailash Rust SDK. Covers trust enforcement, verification gradient, delegation chains, multi-sig, circuit breaker, shadow enforcer, lifecycle hooks, human intervention, compliance reports, and PACT organizational governance.

See also: skills/29-pact/SKILL.md for PACT-specific patterns (D/T/R addressing, knowledge clearance, operating envelopes, 5-step access, 4-zone gradient, GovernanceEngine, PactGovernedAgent).

Reference Documentation

Core Governance

• governance-governed-agent -- GovernedAgent wrapper, GovernedTaodRunner pipeline, reasoning-aware evaluation (RT-038)
• governance-verification-delegation -- 4-level verification gradient, delegation chains, human intervention (PseudoAgent), multi-sig (M-of-N)
• governance-circuit-breaker-shadow -- Circuit breaker FSM (all-atomic), shadow enforcer (dual-config rollout), lifecycle hooks (trust event dispatch)

Enterprise and Durability

• governance-compliance-competency -- Governance bridge, EATP/CARE compliance reports, human competency evaluation
• governance-trust-durability -- EATP-signed checkpoints, governed resume policy, constraint-aware retries, shadow-mode durability
