Contribution Workflow

This repository favors narrow, reviewable pull requests over large platform rewrites.

Default workflow

  1. Open or confirm an issue first if the change affects behavior, architecture, or contributor policy.
  2. Create a focused branch or worktree.
  3. Implement the smallest complete slice that can be reviewed on its own.
  4. Update docs in apps/docs for user-facing or contributor-facing behavior changes.
  5. Update repo-level notes in docs/*.md when the change affects architecture, CI/CD, migration, or operational posture.
  6. Run the local verification set before asking for review.

Minimum local checks

Use targeted runs when narrowing failures:

What a good PR includes

  • one coherent change set
  • typed code
  • tests for the changed behavior
  • doc updates
  • a short note on rollout, replay, or operational impact if relevant
When a branch will live for more than a short fix, prefer a separate worktree. See Worktrees.

What to avoid

  • mixing unrelated refactors into a feature PR
  • changing route contracts without updating docs
  • shipping architecture claims in docs that the code does not yet satisfy
  • bundling broad dependency churn with product behavior changes
