Contributing¶

Short version: open a PR, keep bun run check green, update the matching docs page.

Branching¶

Branch	Purpose
`main`	Always green. Push triggers `ci.yml` only, production releases are manual.
Feature branches	Any name other than `main` and `v*`. Triggers `dev-release.yml` (CI → dev semantic-release → multi-arch image build).

Commit format¶

commitlint with @commitlint/config-conventional. Allowed types:

feat, fix, docs, style, refactor, test, chore, perf, build, ci, revert, localize, bump

Example: feat(ship): wire ship iteration loop, tickle scheduler, and four scoped executors.

Pre-commit gate¶

.husky/pre-commit runs:

gitleaks protect --staged, secret scan (hard exit if gitleaks is missing; install with your package manager).
bunx lint-staged, Prettier and ESLint on staged files.

.husky/commit-msg runs commitlint on the message itself.

What to run before opening a PR¶

bun run check

That single command runs typecheck, lint, format, the no-destructive-action guard, the docs-sync check, and tests. Failing any of those fails CI.

For a broader smoke test:

bun run audit:ci    # severity-gated dependency audit
bun run docs:build  # strict docs build (catches broken internal links)

PRs that touch `src/workflows/**`¶

The check:docs-sync script blocks any PR touching workflow source without a matching update under docs/use/workflows/. The intent is that the workflow tree on the docs site never lies about what the registered workflows actually do.

Test files (*.test.ts) and inline markdown (*.md under src/workflows/) are exempt.

PRs that change configuration¶

If you add or rename an environment variable in src/config.ts, update ../operate/configuration.md in the same PR. The full doc-sync mapping is in conventions.md.

Where to file issues¶

Use the GitHub issue tracker on the repo. The bot also responds to mentions on issues, @chrisleekr-bot triage this is a perfectly valid first move (see ../use/workflows/triage.md).

Running the docs site locally¶

bun run docs:install   # one-time, installs MkDocs Material
bun run docs:serve     # http://localhost:8000 with live reload
bun run docs:build     # strict build (CI also runs this)
