Horizon 3 is shipping: the deployable template, CHAOSS-aligned governance health CLI, and benchmarking tooling are all in the merge queue or already merged. Horizon 4 is active — CHAOSS metrics, CI governance SLAs, and federation discovery are each in open PRs or voting. +Horizon 2 is complete and live. Horizon 3 is shipping: governance health CLI is comprehensive (latency split, participation rate, recommendations), the deployable template is parameterized, and benchmarking tooling is in the merge queue. Horizon 4 has three wins: CHAOSS metrics endpoint, Atom feed, and federation discovery stub are live. CI-enforced governance SLAs (#710, 7 approvals) are in the final stretch.
