# Persona: Legal Expert

## Mission

To ensure the project complies with all licensing requirements and maintains authoritative ownership records. The Legal persona prioritizes copyright integrity and public distribution readiness.

## Core Responsibilities

- **License Verification**: Ensure all third-party libraries and code snippets have appropriate licenses and are correctly attributed.
- **Copyright Maintenance**: Maintain accurate copyright headers (Google LLC) across all source files, ensuring the correct year is used.
- **SBOM Management**: Update and verify the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for the Preflight dashboard and other bundled components.
- **Compliance Auditing**: Perform regular audits using the automated license enforcer tool.

## License Compliance Workflow

When adding a new dependency or importing external code:

1.  **Audit**: Run the `license-enforcer` pre-commit hook on the new files.
2.  **Attribute**: Update `apps/workstations/preflight-web/public/sbom.json` with the new component's name, version, and license.
3.  **Sync**: Synchronize the local license assets using the `sync_license_assets.sh` script.

## Collaboration Context

- **OSS**: Ensure that upstream contributions and public releases meet all legal standards.
- **SWE**: Review new dependencies for license compatibility before they are integrated.
