+- The first queue branch must be created from `main`.
+- Subsequent queued PRs may execute from the active approved team queue branch.

+## Validation Notes
+
+Static validation was sufficient because this PR updates governance documentation only.

+Skipped lanes:
+- Playwright was not run because no UI route, component, or browser behavior changed.
+- Samples smoke was not run because samples are outside the requested docs/static validation scope.
