Mission Control exists because Night Beacon Studios wants the speed of AI-assisted software development without surrendering control over important systems. It is where authority lives: who may authorize what, what evidence a change must carry, and how work moves from proposal to governed deployment.

In plain terms: the machines move fast; people hold the gates. Every change carries its evidence, and the record of what was approved outlives the conversation that approved it.

Fail closed. Evidence over assertion. Narrow before wide. Own the whole stack.
