+# AtayMakhzan
+
+AtayMakhzan is Saad ibn Zoubayr's sovereign Moroccan developer forge.
+
+This repository is an intentional source fork of upstream Gitea. The goal is not to create a cosmetic copy. The goal is to build a controlled forge system for Saad's ventures while preserving upstream security and maintainability discipline.
+
+## Upstream basis
+
+Initial fork basis:
+
+```text
+Gitea v1.26.2
+```
+
+Upstream remote:
+
+```text
+https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea.git
+```
+
+AtayMakhzan origin:
+
+```text
+ssh://git@ataymakhzan.com:2222/ibnezzoubayr/Atay-Makhzan.git
+```
+
+## Product doctrine
+
+AtayMakhzan should be:
+
+- sovereign: code, repos, and infra controlled by Saad;
+- Moroccan: tasteful identity, not decorative folklore;
+- developer-first: fast, calm, reliable, and sharp;
+- operations-safe: backups and rollback before production changes;
+- upstream-aware: security releases are merged deliberately.
+
+## Fork discipline
+
+- Preserve upstream MIT license and copyright notices.
+- Track upstream releases and security patches.
+- Document every divergence in `FORK_CHANGELOG.md`.
+- Add tests for behavioral changes.
+- Avoid schema/auth/storage changes until a migration and rollback plan exists.
+- Keep production deploy logic in `Atay-Makhzan-Ops`, not in this source repo.
+
+## First milestone
+
+The first milestone is a buildable, deployable fork that behaves like Gitea 1.26.2 with safe AtayMakhzan identity changes only.
+
+Non-goals for the first milestone:
+
+- no database schema change;
+- no authentication rewrite;
+- no SSH/Git transport change;
+- no permission model change;
+- no broad UI rewrite;
+- no production deployment until staging/smoke verification passes.
