Walkthrough

The GOVERNANCE.md file's "Expenses" section was clarified to expand the scope of eligible expense claims for core contributors. Previously covering only conferences or workshops they run, the scope now includes conferences where they discuss Biome, conduct Biome workshops, or represent Biome in an official capacity. The enumerated claimable expenses (trip, meals, transport, parking) remain unchanged. This documentation-only change modifies lines 327–328.

🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title accurately reflects the main change: broadening expense coverage to include representing Biome at conferences, though it doesn't capture the full scope of the clarification (workshops and talks about Biome).
Description check	✅ Passed	The description is related to the changeset but emphasises award-nomination scenarios, whereas the actual change is broader, covering any conference talks, workshops, or official representation of Biome.

Inline comments:
In `@GOVERNANCE.md`:
- Line 328: Replace the phrase "include, but are not limited to:" in the
sentence "Expenses that can be claimed include, but are not limited to: trip
(plane, train, etc.), meals, transport, parking." with a tighter
formulation—e.g., "include but are not limited to" and terminate with a
period—so the line reads "Expenses that can be claimed include but are not
limited to trip (plane, train, etc.), meals, transport, parking." Update that
exact sentence accordingly.
