# Contributing
## Propose changes
Open a pull request against `develop`. Keep the default branch for releases and
stable tips; land work on `develop` first.
Point at an existing issue when one fits. Prefer a short issue that states the
symptom or request before a large PR.
## Commits
Subject form:
```
area: Imperative summary
```
- **Area** is a real package, directory, or subsystem token (`ci:`, `docs:`,
Go package name). Not a lone filename.
- **Imperative** mood: Fix, Add, Remove — not "Fixed" or "This patch…".
- No trailing period. Aim ≤ ~7075 characters for the whole subject.
- Not conventional-commits (`feat:` / `fix:` / `chore:` as types).
Body explains **why**. Establish the problem, then say what you are doing.
One logical change per commit; split fix and cleanup.
## Pull requests
Title matches the primary commit subject.
- **What** changed
- **Why** (problem and impact)
- **Test** (concrete steps; "CI green" alone is weak)
## Issues and closing
Cite leftover issues by **full URL**. Gitea closes issues when `#N` appears in
merge text, so do not put `#N` in the merge message unless that issue is actually
done. Use `Fixes #N` / `Closes #N` only when the leftover work is finished.
