+# Repository Agent Guidance
+
+## CodeWhale Stewardship
+
+- Treat community contributors as partners. Good-faith PRs, issue reports,
+  repros, logs, reviews, and verification comments are maintainer evidence,
+  not queue noise.
+- Keep gates warm and dry-run unless Hunter explicitly approves enforcement.
+  Gate copy should guide contributors clearly and respectfully.
+- Credit every harvested PR, issue report, or comment that materially shaped a
+  fix. Preserve authorship when possible; otherwise use mappable GitHub
+  noreply `Co-authored-by` trailers from `.github/AUTHOR_MAP`.
+- Do not tag, publish, create a GitHub Release, or push release artifacts
+  without Hunter approval.
+- Use CodeWhale branding while keeping DeepSeek support first-class. Retiring
+  legacy `deepseek-tui` names must never read as deprecating DeepSeek models or
+  provider support.
+- Review PRs from code, tests, linked issues, comments, and check results.
+  Never merge, close, harvest, or defer community work from title or labels
+  alone.
+- Respect concurrent work in the tree. Do not revert or rewrite unrelated
+  edits by other people or agents.
