Contributing, documentation maintenance, and security boundaries.

Project

Contributing

Before changing language behavior, read:

  • docs/SPEC.md
  • docs/STATUS.md
  • docs/SAFETY_CONTRACT.md
  • docs/RELEASE.md

Small changes should still update public docs when they affect user-visible behavior.

Documentation maintenance

Keep the docs minimal:

  • Long history belongs in git log, not the website.
  • Current gaps belong in Status.
  • Release-facing notes belong in docs/CHANGELOG.md.
  • Public site pages should summarize, not duplicate every internal document.

When language features or user-visible behavior change, update docs/CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/SPEC.md, and docs/STATUS.md as needed. Keep the site corpus in site/public/docs/ aligned with those sources.

Agent fetch paths and curl workflows live on Agent Usage.

Deploy

The Deploy Docs GitHub Actions workflow publishes site/dist to GitHub Pages. The published base path is /a7-py/.

Release gates and required archive paths are on Release.

Security

a7-py is not a sandbox. The compiler emits Zig and the host toolchain builds native code. Only compile and execute source you trust.
