spec: GenOps Governance Specification v0.1

[kernel-gd]

Summary

• Adds the GenOps Governance Specification v0.1 (spec/genops-spec-v0.1.md), a vendor-neutral normative specification defining the minimum semantic contract for AI workload runtime governance
• Defines: AI Workload Unit, Deterministic Accounting Invariant (reservation-first model), Enforcement Decision Model (ALLOWED/BLOCKED/WARNING/RATE_LIMITED), reason_code taxonomy (9 fixed codes + extension mechanism), SLA Boundary Model, telemetry semantic conventions (9 required attributes, 3 required events), event schemas, and compliance requirements
• Standards-grade document: RFC 2119 language, no code, no vendor references, runtime-agnostic, implementation-neutral
• Designed so any third-party vendor can implement GenOps compliance without importing any existing code

Test plan

• Verify internal consistency: all cross-references resolve, all attributes in Sections 2-6 appear in Section 7, all reason_codes in Section 4 appear in Section 5, all events in Section 3 have schemas in Section 8
• Verify no vendor references, no code blocks, no implementation details
• Verify document is readable in one sitting (~20-30 min)
