## Language Policy (Hyperpolymath Standard)

> **Policy refresh 2026-05-25**: AffineScript is now the primary application language across the estate (this is its home repo). / TypeScript / meaningfully-migrated JavaScript are banned going forward — write new code in AffineScript. Existing stays in place as legacy until the `.res → .affine` migration assistant (#488) walks the corpus. MPL-1.0 / MPL-1.0-or-later are banned; rewrite to MPL-2.0 wherever encountered (code + docs). **Jekyll is banned**; the canonical estate SSG is `hyperpolymath/casket-ssg` (Haskell). This repo already migrated via `.github/workflows/casket-pages.yml`.

P2 Badge Align the governance gate with the flag-only policy

When a PR contains an MPL-1.0 header, .github/workflows/governance.yml:41 runs tools/ci/governance-standalone.sh, whose lines 38 and 45 still say the header must be rewritten to MPL-2.0 and emit that rewrite as the CI remediation. That directly contradicts this new owner-only rule and can prompt an agent or contributor to make the prohibited licence edit; update the gate's comment and diagnostic to instruct reporting the file to the owner instead.
