# Governance

**Maintainer:** Ahmed Zaki (project owner). This repository contains the independently published community source, not the official production operations repository.

## Decisions and review

The maintainer sets project scope and release readiness, decides whether issues and pull requests are accepted, reviews code and documentation, and appoints future maintainers if necessary. Discussion is welcome; publishing a feature request, donation or pull request does not guarantee acceptance or a release date.

Contributions must pass privacy/security/license review and a valid rights-holder agreement **before merge**. The maintainer has adopted [individual CLA v1.1](CONTRIBUTOR_LICENSE_AGREEMENT.md) without separate attorney certification; the external signing service and PR check are **not yet active or verified**, and corporate-owned material needs additional authorized corporate permission. External code merge intake stays closed until signing/check enforcement is proven. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

## Branches and releases

`main` is the published community source. Changes should be developed and tested on isolated branches, reviewed in pull requests, and merged only after checks pass. Stable tags and signed installers require additional [release gates](docs/RELEASING.md). Public source releases do not automatically deploy the separately hosted service.

## Transparency

Maintain accurate [project status](docs/PROJECT_STATUS.md), [roadmap](docs/ROADMAP.md) and [changelog](CHANGELOG.md); distinguish tested behavior from proposed features and disclose relevant security limitations. Please use issues for non-sensitive proposals and [private security reporting](SECURITY.md) for vulnerabilities.
