Open Preservation Foundation

The openpreserve/cairn-standards repository provides durable, citable, and resolvable homes for preservation standards. The recent push adds a suite of new features, including registration of every operator‑facing marker and a separate model for manifest lifecycle management. It also introduces fixes that plan invariants before volume operations, improve CLI run reporting, and enforce stricter sync handling of unreadable records. Documentation is updated to reflect the new model and deployment scripts now set umask directly, while test suites are expanded to cover Python 3.11 and nginx release paths.
