gov_init
Scaffold a governance project in a directory, creating policy, gate inputs, and a pending artifact. Start a research run by initializing evidence tracking and returning a policy reference.
Instructions
Scaffold a holdout governance project in a directory (created if missing): writes policy.yml and gate-inputs.json only if absent, and creates a new artifact.json with decision=pending. Never overwrites an existing artifact.json — if present it returns an error and writes nothing. Use once at the start of a research run, then attach evidence with gov_attach and decide with gov_check. Returns the created files and the policy_ref SHA.
