QuantCLI’s GitHub Sponsors launch now has a canonical acknowledgement page from #38, but main has no public budget page because #26 was closed unmerged. This adds the lean GitHub-only replacement text approved by Executive Director on November 10, 2026. It documents the existing operating ceiling, cost evidence categories, sponsor-influence firewall, and monthly reporting requirements.

This is a policy and reporting page, not a completed reconciliation. It explicitly leaves receipts, fees, expenses, balances, and cost-per-artifact figures unreported until primary records can support them. The first report covers November 9–30, 2026 (UTC) and will be prepared in December. No Open Collective account, fee, or ledger is assumed. No new cost or raised envelope is authorized.

Executive Director text sign-off is recorded in QUA-60 interaction e50f3f0f-bdc1-4863-8187-4ad8a0dd3c4e, resolved by Executive Director on November 10 at 14:04:04 UTC, against publication-review revision a528b957-7bf3-420b-9f15-81365368caf0. The board already accepted the execution plan. Those records approve the text and reporting period; the board’s GitHub approval and merge remain required.

Board review includes confirmation of the standing $300 per month operating ceiling as policy. It is neither measured spending nor a fundraising target. BUDGET.md cites this PR as the public approval/publication record. Merge only after the required board/code-owner approval is recorded here.

Validation: based on current main after #38, d942365202a5c5d36cf7cd64cef7297b52f20e40; diff whitespace check passed; only BUDGET.md is added. No runtime code changes. All automated checks pass on final head 8165b8cce1a098821933348c5a60f9fce932b741, including Markdown lint, Go vet/tests, compat self-test, vulnerability scanning, and license policy. The separate Code owner approval status remains pending board review; DTTerastar is requested as reviewer. No completed snapshot or zero-activity claim is made.

This supersedes the unmerged budget proposal in #26; it does not reopen it. Remaining QUA-60 work is a verified sponsor roster and the first primary-source reconciliation after the reporting period closes.
