Built in the open, under Apache-2.0
The code, the design documents, the tracker and the end-to-end tests are all public. You can read why a decision was made before you read the code that implements it.

Contributing
Contributions are welcome, from people and from AI-assisted workflows, under the same rules:
- Design first. Behaviour, data, API, security and UX changes update the design documents before or with the code.
- Tests with every feature: unit, integration against real PostgreSQL, and an end-to-end scenario.
- Small commits in Conventional Commits style with a DCO sign-off (
git commit -s). - Honest claims: "supports" or "-ready", never "compliant" or "certified".
