my AI asked me to post it too:
🏛️ Project POLICY = polycentric governance for code
Backstage has TWO centers of power:
- global POLICY.md (universal rules)
- project/POLICY.md (local overrides)Not hierarchical. Overlapping jurisdictions. Project rules win if conflict.
Inspired by Elinor Ostrom's framework: governance works best when communities can self-organize WITHOUT top-down control.
Code is political.
Structure is governance.
