Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary: Implemented governance enhancement for Guardian dependencies by adding a CODEOWNERS policy that requires security-team review of go.mod changes in Guardian components (node and sdk) before integration. This strengthens change control, reduces risk from dependency upgrades, and improves auditability. Commit added: 07fb8f60a912ce5540c65be65f0d11bec9a69c97.
