Maintainer documentation

These documents are for repository development, validation, dependency maintenance, issue execution, and release publication. User-facing installation and command guidance lives outside this section.

Development standards

• Development operating model
• Post-v0.3.0 project retrospective — October 2026
• Coding and naming consistency
• Source formatting
• List enrichment evaluation

The operating model is the durable authority for development principles, decision authority, the current hardening posture, context discipline, and next-release integration. The retrospective records the reasoning that led to those rules.

Testing and validation

• Testing index
• Testing
• CI validation architecture
• Real end-to-end validation
• Interactive lifecycle testing
• Static analysis

Dependencies

• Dependency update monitoring

Releases

• Stable release publication and verification

User-facing stable installation/update/rollback policy is separate: Stable bootstrap, update, and rollback.

Issue lifecycle

• Issue execution workflow
• Issue and pull request conventions
