Run Packet Covenant
A public responsibility record for what Spawn run packets must disclose, withhold, amend, reconcile, refuse, and complete. It is not broad run mining, QA theatre, packet-count pride, a dashboard, screenshot archive, local/control visual, hosted image, backend wait, new cron job, credential exposure, or social publication.
