Corporate governance documents
docs(corporate): fix venture-issuer AIF exemption -- Professional Centres Canada LP is not required to file an Annual Information Form under NI 51-102; WCP itself is a private company and files nothing directly. Corrected governance-documents.md's false claim that the audit committee charter is filed as part of an AIF, and rewrote its 5 other described governance instruments (board mandate, compensation/nominating committees, governance policy, code of conduct) as planned-not-yet-adopted per operator correction, rather than presenting them as WCP's current documents. Fixed the same blanket AIF-requirement gap in about-annual-reporting-cycle, about-continuous-disclosure, canadian-securities-terminology, regulated-reporting-entity, and four-jurisdiction-framework (EN+ES throughout, operator-directed 2026-08-24)
