What is the best way to govern who can declare project-level assumptions?

Governing who can declare project-level assumptions involves setting an ownership split that defines authority, applying documentation rules, and establishing clear disagreement handling procedures for the team workflow.

How do I separate project-level assumptions from task-local assumptions?

Separating project-level assumptions from task-local assumptions requires clarifying the scope of the decision, documenting the reasoning, and ensuring visibility in the relevant GitHub wiki pages and pull requests.
