## Practical Governance Notes

* **Permissions model**: access is scoped by project assignment for project keys.
* **Rate-limit policy**: apply rate limiting at deployment/API gateway layers; pair this with project key expiry and budget controls for defense-in-depth.
* **Auditing**: use created/last-used/expiry metadata plus internal logs for periodic access reviews.
