## Founder Approval Gate
- recurringPolling: approved=false · required=true · Recurring polling changes cost/rate/freshness behavior and must be founder-approved.
- alternateProviders: approved=false · required=true · Any alternate weather provider requires source, cost, hostname, terms, key, and permission review.
- apiKeys: approved=false · required=true · No key-backed provider may be activated without explicit founder approval.
- paidProviders: approved=false · required=true · No paid provider or credit-card-backed provider may be activated without approval.
- contentAbsorption: approved=false · required=true · Weather context may be referenced by Search, but content absorption remains disabled.
- searchExecution: approved=false · required=true · Universal Search remains locked; weather context does not activate search execution.
- browserRuntime: approved=false · required=true · Browser remains an intent bridge only; no runtime browsing is activated.
- downstreamIngestion: approved=false · required=true · Live ingestion requires source registry approval, signal validation, and receipts.
