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.
