One set of principles, applied consistently.

Decision principles

• Keep the core lean and broadly reusable
• Prefer plugins for ecosystem-specific integrations
• Require reproducible fixtures for behavior changes where practical
• Document compatibility and migration impact
• Record the rationale for large or breaking decisions publicly

Roles

The project is currently run by a single maintainer. A canonical maintainer list, review rights and release ownership will be published here as the contributor base grows.

Proposals

A large proposal should start as a public problem statement with a fixture or example, before any implementation. It should say explicitly whether the work belongs in core, a plugin, documentation or tooling.
