The placement question seeded as open is answered by canon rather than by a
new decision. OAS section 8 defines Q2 Observability as 'telemetry and
monitoring: metrics, logs, traces' - this repo in canon's own words.
The 2026-08-11 coherence review found Railiance had been modelling itself on
one of OAS's six required dimensions and treating everything else as unplaced.
Observability was never homeless; the dimension it belongs to was not in use.
Notes Q7 Governance as the sibling concern - the conformance loop, the other
half of the self-evidencing aspiration this repo serves.

Fills the gap identified in the 2026-08-11 Railiance architecture assessment:
five layers declare they intend to be self-evidencing or auditable, and nothing
owned the place that evidence goes. The live cluster has no monitoring
namespace at all.
Positions telemetry as the evidence plane - it owns the signal, not the meaning
of the signal, so conformance rules stay with the repos that own them. Flags
stack-dimension placement as an open question for railiance-master rather than
asserting a level, so this repo does not repeat railiance-forge's unplaced
state.
