Ratification

Ratification records connect public process to immutable Git snapshots.

Use signed annotated tags for ratified text:

git tag -s ratified-YYYY-MM-DD -m "Ratified snapshot: YYYY-MM-DD"
git push origin ratified-YYYY-MM-DD

This directory can hold supporting records such as tally summaries, minority reports, public-notice windows, and links to deliberation archives.
