Contributing

The full guidance is in CONTRIBUTING.md.

Licence and sign-off

aivyx-coder is source-available under the Business Source License 1.1: free for personal, educational, research and other non-commercial use, with commercial use under a separate licence (COMMERCIAL.md). Each version becomes MIT-licensed four years after its release.

So that contributions can be offered under both, every commit needs a sign-off:

git commit -s

The Signed-off-by line certifies the Developer Certificate of Origin and accepts the Contributor License Agreement in CLA.md. You keep your copyright. A pull request with unsigned commits can’t be merged.

Before you build

Open an issue first for anything beyond a small fix, and agree the approach.
Keep a pull request to one thing.
Anything touching the gate, the confiner or a tool’s ActionKind: read Permission gate and sandbox first, and add a test that shows the boundary still holds.

The bar for a pull request

Every commit signed off.
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -- -D warnings is clean.
cargo test --workspace passes, and new behaviour has tests.
The manual is updated for anything a user sees; the generated references are re-run if you changed the config or a tool (see Building and testing).

Security issues

Please don’t open a public issue for a vulnerability; see SECURITY.md.
