# Contributor documentation

> Architecture rules, accepted decisions, adapter boundaries, release evidence, and the focused contribution path.

Begin with the concise [public contribution path](/contributing/), then read
the repository `AGENTS.md` and the target implementation-plan phase before
editing code.

- [Architecture overview](../architecture/README.md)
- [Accepted ADRs](../adr/README.md)
- [Engineering conventions](../conventions/README.md)
- [Adapter development](../adapter-development.md)
- [Release engineering](../release.md)
- [Phase evidence](../progress/phase-00.md)

One pull request should implement one roadmap phase or one coherent vertical
slice, add tests with the behavior, and report unverified criteria honestly.
