Governance Platform v1.0.0 is the first official stable customer release for
the Governance Platform release line. This release builds on the validated
v1.0.0 release candidates and publishes the version-aligned runtime images,
Helm charts, release manifest, and customer package.

## Included Runtime Components

- Governance Studio
- Governance Service
- Auth Service
- Integrity Service
- EQTY PDFGen
- Governance Platform deployment charts

## Changes Since v1.0.0-rc.3

- Publishes the release candidate line as the official stable v1.0.0 release.
- Rebuilds runtime images from the release source refs on `main`.
- Bumps runtime and umbrella Helm charts to `1.0.0`.
- Pins component source refs, image tags, and image digests in the release
  manifest.
- Refreshes generated release documentation and release assets for the stable
  release.

## Customer Artifacts

- Release manifest
- Packaged Helm charts
- Connected installation package
- Optional air-gap package when enabled for the release
- Generated OpenAPI reference
- Generated Helm values reference

## Before Installing

Confirm that the release manifest has `validation.evidence.status` set to
`approved`, and use only the chart versions and runtime image tags recorded in
that manifest. Do not mix v1.0.0 images or charts with release-candidate
artifacts.

## Release Readiness

This release is customer-facing. The deployment repository published the
`platform/v1.0.0` GitHub Release, and the release manifest records approved
manual validation evidence.
