This repository holds the public organization profile, the repository lifecycle registry, and the GitHub settings that visitors see for each repository. The profile in profile/README.md goes live when a change merges. The GitHub settings don't: an organization owner applies them.

The durable cross-repository launch acceptance contract is maintained in LAUNCH_PLAN.md. Current execution state belongs in the workspace STATUS.md, not in this public repository.

repository-lifecycle.yml is the source of truth for the organization description and website, the profile headline, the pinned repositories, and each listed repository's description, website, and topics. scripts/check_profile.py checks these values on every pull request.

An organization owner applies them:

1. Review the exact commands. Run .overhaul/APPLY.sh. This dry run prints each gh command and its request body, and it doesn't call GitHub.
2. Apply them. Run .overhaul/APPLY.sh --apply. It needs gh signed in as an owner of the organization, with the admin:org and repo scopes. It changes nothing if the account isn't an owner. After the changes, it reads every value back from GitHub and lists each one that differs.
3. Pin the repositories by hand, in the order that pinned_repositories lists them. GitHub has no API for organization pins.
4. Confirm. Run .overhaul/APPLY.sh --verify. It exits 0 only when every value on GitHub matches the registry, and 2 when only the pins are left.

After you edit the registry, render the script again. The profile check fails until the script matches the registry.

python3 scripts/github_metadata.py render-apply --output .overhaul/APPLY.sh

The Cloud source repository is private, so it can't be a public pin. The documentation source, openadapt-ops, is a public Support repository that the profile links instead of pinning. Each repository's social preview image is also set by hand, in that repository's settings.

Apply the archive queue in REPOSITORY_LIFECYCLE.md only after each repository has an archive notice and any uncommitted local work is preserved.
