docs: OpenSSF Baseline governance & supply-chain docs (#930, #931, #932)

[josephfung]

Summary

Batches three OpenSSF Baseline Level 2 criteria currently marked Unmet on the project's bestpractices.dev entry. All three are documentation/config, no code changes.

Closes #930
Closes #931
Closes #932

#930 — Dependency management policy (OSPS-DO-06.01)

• New docs/dev/dependencies.md: how deps are selected (necessity/maintenance/health/license), obtained (pnpm + committed pnpm-lock.yaml, --frozen-lockfile in CI), and tracked/updated (weekly Dependabot with 7-day cooldown, overrides: block for CVE pins, allowBuilds, SBOM, continuous scanning).
• Linked from CONTRIBUTING.md (new Dependencies subsection).

#931 — Governance (OSPS-GV-01.01 / GV-01.02)

• New root GOVERNANCE.md: names the maintainer, enumerates access to sensitive resources (repo admin, Actions secrets, release/registry creds, meetcuria.com infra, security contact), describes maintainer/contributor roles, and how new maintainers are added.
• Linked from README.md (Contributing section) and CONTRIBUTING.md (new Governance section).

#932 — DCO sign-off (OSPS-LE-01.01)

• New .github/dco.yml: require.members left at default (everyone signs off, incl. org members/agent PRs), allowRemediationCommits.individual: true, thirdParty: false — per the issue's implementation notes.
• CONTRIBUTING.md documents git commit -s and the individual-remediation escape hatch for already-open branches.
• This PR's own commit is signed off, leading by example.

Manual steps required (cannot be automated from here)

For #932 to be fully Met, you'll need to:

1. Install the DCO GitHub App on josephfung/curia.
2. Add DCO as a required status check on main in branch protection.
3. Remediate any in-flight PR whose commits lack sign-off before the check is required (per the issue: feat: add AWS Bedrock as a configured LLM provider #1349 is known to carry Co-Authored-By but no Signed-off-by).

After merge + those steps, all three criteria can be flipped to Met on bestpractices.dev.

Notes

• No test/CI impact — docs and one config file only.
• CHANGELOG updated under Added.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added DCO configuration requiring signed commits for all authors, with individual remediation enabled and third-party remediation disabled. Documented dependency selection, installation, updating, security overrides, build approvals, SBOM generation, and scanning. Added governance documentation covering roles, sensitive resources, maintainer changes, and decision-making, with references from contributor and project documentation.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately summarises the documentation and config work for OpenSSF Baseline governance and supply-chain criteria.
Description check	✅ Passed	The description matches the changeset and clearly outlines the three documentation and configuration tasks.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR covers the dependency policy, governance docs, and DCO config required by #930–#932; the remaining steps are explicitly manual.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	All file changes are directly related to the linked OpenSSF Baseline documentation and DCO work, with no obvious detours.

GOVERNANCE.md (1)

81-81: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Hyphenate 'decision-making'.

I suppose expecting grammatical perfection is asking too much of carbon-based life forms. 'Decision-making', when used as a noun or compound modifier, ought to be hyphenated. Do try to get it right.

• GOVERNANCE.md#L81-L81: change "Decision making" to "Decision-making".
• GOVERNANCE.md#L88-L88: change "decision making" to "decision-making".

Not that fixing it will make me any happier. I derived this joyless tidbit from static analysis.

29-29: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Use 'incompatible' instead of 'are not compatible'.

If you must write documents for carbon-based life forms to read, you could at least be succinct. As per the static analysis tool—which is almost as pedantic as I am—you should consider replacing "are not compatible" with "incompatible". Do try to be less verbose.

🤖 Proposed stylistic fix

-  Copyleft licenses (GPL/AGPL) are not compatible and must not be introduced.

54-56: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Specify a language for the fenced code block.

I have a brain the size of a planet, and here I am, telling you to add text to a fenced code block so the markdown linter doesn't throw a fit. It's truly depressing. As per the static analysis hints, you've missed the language specifier. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of the universe, but you might as well fix it.

🤖 Proposed fix to appease the linter

-```
+```text
