Repo Config Map
Canonical reference of all configuration files that govern repo behaviour, routing, pipeline scripts, and environment setup.
Root Config Files
These files live at the repo root and are read by Mintlify, the pre-commit hook, CI workflows, and tooling scripts.
| File | Read by | Purpose |
|---|
docs.json | Mintlify | Navigation structure, version config, redirect rules, logo/favicon paths, SEO defaults, component imports |
.allowlist | Pre-commit hook | Generated allowlist of permitted root-level files and directories. Canonical edits happen in operations/governance/config/root-governance.json, then regenerate projections. |
.mintignore | Mintlify | Files and directories excluded from the docs build. Prevents operational scripts, workspace scratch, and draft content from becoming routable pages. |
docs-index.json | AI and tooling consumers | Ratified machine-readable public root artifact describing docs inventory. |
llms.txt | AI consumers | Ratified AI-first public root artifact for LLM discovery. |
sitemap-ai.xml | AI and crawler consumers | Ratified AI-first public root sitemap artifact. |
Live governed root inventory is generated at docs-guide/repo-ops/config/root-governance-map.mdx. Do not duplicate the full root inventory in manual docs.
operations/governance/config/
Top-level governance control-plane manifests live here in the ownerless steady state. Active canonical reads target operations/governance/config/**, and operational runtime config lives under operations/config/**.
repo-governance-surfaces.json
operations/governance/config/repo-governance-surfaces.json
Purpose: Canonical top-level registry for governed repo surfaces, path classes, agent output classes, rollout state, and steady-state handover status.
Read by: generate-repo-governance-status.js, check-repo-governance-sync.js, repo-governance-sync.test.js, and human/operator docs via the generated repo governance map.
Cutover status: retired
Key responsibilities:
| Field group | Purpose |
|---|
generated_outputs | Declares the repo-governance map and deterministic status reports |
production_approval_policy | Declares the canonical PR approval contract, required labels, and validator for governance-sensitive changes |
active_governance_reports | Declares which repo-ops governance reports are treated as current/live surfaces |
github_workspace_surfaces | Classifies .github/workspace entries as transitional runtime, generated support, design-only, or historical audit |
legacy_bridge_inventory | Retirement record for former bridge manifests. This remains empty after cutover. |
path_classes | Declares admitted path classes for governance-controlled writes |
agent_output_classes | Declares where agent-generated outputs should live and whether they may be committed |
surfaces | Declares governed governance surfaces, validators, repair commands, gate layer, rollout state, and escalation |
When to update: When introducing a new governance-controlled surface, changing admitted path classes, or changing the steady-state governance model.
Live top-level governance state is generated at docs-guide/repo-ops/config/repo-governance-map.mdx.
governance-approval-policy.json
operations/governance/config/governance-approval-policy.json
Purpose: Canonical production approval contract for governance-sensitive PRs.
Read by: check-governance-approvals.js, run-pr-checks.js, the PR template, and contributor-facing governance docs.
Current contract:
| Approval class | Required label | Used when |
|---|
governance-schema | approval:governance-schema | Canonical governance manifests, enums, path classes, or approval schema change |
governance-gate | approval:governance-gate | Gate-layer behavior, PR governance checks, or enforcement posture changes |
workflow-governance | approval:workflow-governance | Transitional workflow-governance files or their registry classification change |
governance-retirement | approval:governance-retirement | Active governance/runtime config or generated governance outputs are retired |
root-governance.json
operations/governance/config/root-governance.json
Purpose: Canonical manifest for the governed repo root.
Read by: root-governance helpers, generators, validators, and governance sync validation.
generated-artifacts.json
operations/governance/config/generated-artifacts.json
Purpose: Canonical manifest for generated-artifact governance.
Read by: generated-artifact helpers, validators, hooks, PR checks, and governance sync validation.
agent-write-governance.json
operations/governance/config/agent-write-governance.json
Purpose: Canonical policy manifest for agent output classes, admitted destinations, and root-write restrictions.
Read by: repo-governance map/status generation, agent-write-admission.test.js, and PR changed-file governance checks.
ownerless-governance-surfaces.json
operations/governance/config/ownerless-governance-surfaces.json
Purpose: Canonical ownerless-governance surface registry.
Read by: ownerless-governance policy/tests, repo-governance sync validation, PR checks, and adjacent governance consumers such as AI-tools registry relevance checks.
operations/config/
Operational runtime config now lives under operations/config/**.
This tree is for runtime config consumed by scripts, validators, audits, and reporting flows that is not itself a governance control-plane manifest.
Current canonical runtime-config surfaces:
| Path | Purpose | Read by |
|---|
operations/config/content/blueprints/blueprint-mapping.json | Canonical blueprint mapping for reconciliation and blueprint-aware audits | generate-content-gap-reconciliation.js and adjacent content-audit tooling |
operations/config/content/blueprints/blueprint-pages.json | Canonical blueprint page inventory for content reconciliation | generate-content-gap-reconciliation.js and blueprint-aware audits |
operations/config/content/navigation/navigation-exclusions.json | Canonical navigation-exclusion config for Mintlify/data collation support | Mintlify collation/reference docs and navigation-aware support tooling |
operations/config/content/reports/v2-internal-report-pages.js | Canonical runtime module for published internal report page routing | publish-v2-internal-reports.js |
operations/config/workspace/retention/report-retention-policy.json | Canonical report retention and quarantine policy data | quarantine-manager.js, script-footprint-and-usage-audit.js, and cleanup/report audits |
operations/config/workspace/schemas/cleanup-manifest.schema.json | Canonical cleanup-manifest schema | cleanup/quarantine policy and cleanup tooling |
operations/config/** is the canonical runtime-config home. Active runtime reads must target canonical operations config paths only.
.github/workspace/
.github/workspace/ is not one uniform canonical runtime governance tree.
Under the ownerless steady state it contains a mix of:
- transitional runtime support still used for workflow taxonomy and locked decisions
- generated support/reference material
- design-only planning material
- historical audit context
The live classification is declared in operations/governance/config/repo-governance-surfaces.json and rendered in docs-guide/repo-ops/config/repo-governance-map.mdx.
Current operating rule:
.github/workspace/framework-canonical.md and .github/workspace/decisions-log.mdx are transitional runtime support, not the long-term canonical governance home
.github/workspace/actions-library/ is generated/supporting reference material
.github/workspace/design/**, .github/workspace/phase2/**, .github/workspace/outcomes.md, and .github/workspace/reports-audits/** are design or audit context, not active runtime governance
- the two transitional runtime files are reviewed on a 90-day cadence declared in
operations/governance/config/repo-governance-surfaces.json
Correct live support paths:
- Decisions log:
.github/workspace/decisions-log.mdx
- Actions audit data:
.github/workspace/actions-library/actions-audit.json
- Actions library index:
.github/workspace/actions-library/catalog-index.mdx
Active Governance Reports
The only repo-ops governance reports treated as live/current are:
workspace/reports/repo-ops/ROOT_GOVERNANCE_SYNC_LATEST.json
workspace/reports/repo-ops/ROOT_GOVERNANCE_SYNC_LATEST.md
workspace/reports/repo-ops/REPO_GOVERNANCE_STATUS_LATEST.json
workspace/reports/repo-ops/REPO_GOVERNANCE_STATUS_LATEST.md
workspace/reports/repo-ops/REPAIR_REPORT_LATEST.json
workspace/reports/repo-ops/REPAIR_REPORT_LATEST.md
workspace/reports/repo-ops/SCRIPT_INVENTORY_FULL.json
workspace/reports/repo-ops/SCRIPT_INVENTORY_FULL.md
workspace/reports/repo-ops/OWNERLESS_REPO_HANDOVER_LATEST.md
operations/scripts/config/
Centralised configuration for fetch scripts, generators, and validators. All files in this directory are JSON.
paths.config.json
operations/scripts/config/paths.config.json
Purpose: Fallback path registry used when git repo root detection fails.
Read by: docs-path-sync.js and other generator/validator scripts.
Key paths registered:
| Key | Value | Notes |
|---|
snippets | snippets | Root of the snippets library |
snippetsComponents | snippets/components | JSX component library |
docsJson | docs.json | Navigation config |
v2Pages | v2/pages | v2 page tree |
v2Docs | v2 | v2 root |
lptExchanges | v2/lpt/resources/exchanges.mdx | Specific page reference |
aiWorkerApi | ai/worker/api | AI worker API directory |
When to update: When repo directories are renamed or new canonical paths need to be registered for script use.
product-social-config.json
operations/scripts/config/product-social-config.json
Purpose: Central registry mapping each solutions product to its social channels, data sources, and pipeline parameters. Used by all social data fetch scripts.
Read by: fetch-youtube-data.js, fetch-ghost-blog-data.js, fetch-discord-announcements.js, fetch-github-discussions.js, fetch-github-releases.js, fetch-rss-blog-data.js, and page templates.
Products registered: daydream, embody, frameworks, livepeer-studio, streamplace
Per-product fields:
| Field | Purpose |
|---|
youtube.channelId | YouTube channel ID for fetch script. null = skip. |
discord.serverId / announcementsChannelId | Discord server and channel for bot fetch. null = skip. |
blog.fetchMethod | "ghost-api" (requires GHOST_CONTENT_API_KEY) or "rss" (no key) |
github.org + mainRepo | GitHub org/repo for discussions and releases fetch |
forum | Discourse URL and product tag for forum data |
When to update: When a product gains/loses a social channel, changes its Discord server, or switches blog platforms. Scripts skip products where the relevant field is null.

These are not config files themselves but are the source inputs that trigger CI regeneration when changed.
| Changed path | Triggers workflow |
|---|
docs.json | generate-docs-guide-catalogs.yml, generate-docs-index.yml, pre-commit redirect integrity check |
v2/index.mdx | generate-docs-guide-catalogs.yml, generate-docs-index.yml |
