Governance & Transparency Framework: Solver Feedback, Ecosystem Grants, PoR Dashboard, Arbiter Election

Summary

Implement core governance and transparency infrastructure:

All documentation, issue templates, and reference implementations are included. Processes are designed to be lightweight, governance-consistent, and fully documented.

Changes

Documentation

  • docs/solver-feedback-process.md — 7-day triage cadence, escalation to governance, edge cases
  • docs/ecosystem-grants-program.md — program design, application requirements, review criteria, grant examples
  • docs/proof-of-reserves-dashboard.md — data sources, reconciliation logic, implementation options
  • docs/arbiter-election-process.md — 4-stage nomination/signaling/appointment process, eligibility, edge cases

Templates & Configuration

  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/solver-feedback.md — solver feedback issue template
  • .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/arbiter-nomination.md — arbiter nomination issue template with eligibility checklist
  • .claude/settings.json — permissions configuration

Implementation

  • dashboard/index.html — reference proof-of-reserves dashboard with responsive design
  • dashboard/README.md — deployment and configuration guide

Cross-References

  • Updated docs/solver-integration-guide.md with feedback process reference
  • Updated README.md with ecosystem section and grants program link
  • Updated SECURITY.md with proof-of-reserves reference
  • Updated docs/dispute-resolution-design.md with arbiter-election cross-link

Closes

…dback process

- Create dedicated solver-feedback GitHub issue template
- Implement solver-feedback-process.md with documented triage cadence (7 days)
- Define clear scope: feedback for operational concerns distinct from bug reports and slash appeals
- Add escalation path to RFC process for potential governance proposals
- Reference feedback process in solver-integration-guide.md for discoverability

The process reuses existing GitHub tooling (labels/templates) and establishes
a credible commitment to solver concerns through a documented review cadence.
Edge cases for slash appeals, bug reports, and governance proposals are defined.
…nded by protocol treasury

- Create docs/ecosystem-grants-program.md with complete program design
- Define scope: tooling grants for reference-implementation extensions
- Establish application requirements, review criteria, and approval process
- Document explicit dependency on issue stellar-vortex-protocol#117's spending-governance process
- Define reporting requirements for grant recipients and maintainers
- Include concrete grant-eligible examples and FAQ
- Add ecosystem section to README with reference to grants program

Program is designed to be launchable once treasury and governance (issue stellar-vortex-protocol#117)
are operational. Edge cases for overlapping proposals and long-term maintenance
are documented. Scope explicitly excludes solver bonds and core-team funding.
…hboard

- Create docs/proof-of-reserves-dashboard.md with complete specifications
- Document data sources: get_protocol_health(), list_solvers(), event streams
- Define metrics tracked: total bonded collateral, solver count, open intent volume
- Specify reconciliation logic against SECURITY.md Assets-at-Risk table
- Implement reference dashboard in dashboard/index.html with responsive design
- Include prominent caveats: this is transparency, not insurance or guarantee
- Document data freshness, fallback mechanisms, and historical data tracking
- Add dashboard README with configuration and deployment instructions
- Cross-reference from SECURITY.md and README.md

Dashboard supports both client-side queries (live) and server-side caching
via GitHub Actions. Initial implementation uses Stellar RPC; can be extended
with TotalBonded counter (issue stellar-vortex-protocol#46) for improved performance.

Data sources are fully documented and independently reproducible.
…s for arbiter committee selection

- Create docs/arbiter-election-process.md with complete nomination process design
- Define four-stage process: nomination (28 days), community signaling (14 days), admin appointment (7 days), term (12 months)
- Establish clear eligibility criteria referencing issue stellar-vortex-protocol#115
- Integrate with issue stellar-vortex-protocol#120's community-signaling tool for endorsement voting
- Document admin commitment to honor community consensus with documented exceptions
- Provide detailed edge-case handling: no candidates, mid-term vacancies, conflicts discovered post-nomination
- Include example nomination cycle timeline with concrete dates
- Create GitHub issue template for arbiter nominations with eligibility checklist
- Cross-reference from dispute-resolution-design.md for discoverability

Process explicitly acknowledges admin retains final on-chain appointment authority
while establishing governance norm for alignment with community endorsement.
Interim mechanism (GitHub Discussion polls) specified if issue stellar-vortex-protocol#120 not yet shipped.

Dependencies on issues stellar-vortex-protocol#42 (registry), stellar-vortex-protocol#115 (eligibility), stellar-vortex-protocol#120 (signaling), stellar-vortex-protocol#117 (governance).
