Description

The policyengine-data skill (#61) covers consuming Populace — architecture, certified releases, dataset names, the local-area philosophy. Contributors need the producer side: build plans and stages, release gates (what refuses and why), staging telemetry, the certification path into policyengine.py bundles, and where targets/facts come from (Ledger profiles).

Source of truth is the populace repo's DESIGN.md + build docs; the skill should be pointers + the non-derivable gotchas (checkpoint roots outside the repo, run-once clone guards, reference-pinning rules), not a duplicate of the design charter.

Research direction

Start by reading the policyengine-data skill in issue #61, then consult the Populace repo's DESIGN.md and build docs. Document pointers to build plans, stages, release gates, staging telemetry, certification into policyengine.py bundles, and Ledger profiles, plus the listed non-derivable gotchas; keep the result from duplicating the design charter.
