USE CASES / GOOGLE CLOUD
The connection states what it is.
A cloud connection that is labelled production-safe when it is actually a debug credential is worse than no label. GovernorAI persists the connect mode explicitly, validates it against the credential you supplied, and refuses the pair if they disagree.
The mode is explicit, persisted, and validated against the shape of the credential. If the two disagree the request is rejected with an operator-facing error and nothing is written — the same contract runs across AWS, Azure and GCP.
THE CONNECT-MODE CONTRACT
Why a mismatch is rejected rather than stored.
The same contract runs across AWS, Azure and GCP, so an operator learns it once.
BOOTSTRAP
Attaching a project.
BEFORE IT IS POINTED AT PRODUCTION
The connection states what it is. Assurance states what can be proved.
Attaching a project tells you what is running. It says nothing about whether a given agent should be. Assurance evaluates a pinned snapshot against preregistered bars and returns a gate result a pipeline can act on.
Measurability is computed per deployment rather than assumed, and the missing prerequisite is named instead of being scored as a pass.
