The governance commitment, README, CONTRIBUTING, ROADMAP, SUPPORT, and brand guide said there would be no paid edition and no hosted service, ever. This narrows the promise to the one that matters and keeps it: every check, and everything needed to scan, sign, verify, and gate a model, is in this repository under Apache-2.0 and stays free. Products Defilan builds on Socair are not an edition of it and hold no check back.

  • GOVERNANCE.md: "No paid edition" becomes "The engine stays free and open".
  • ROADMAP.md: "Not planned" keeps a paid edition of the engine and drops a hosted service.
  • README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SUPPORT.md, docs/brand.md: the same, in fewer absolutes.

Docs only; no behavior change.
