Contributing to killinchu

Thank you for your interest in killinchu — the Andean Drone Intelligence counter-UAS rule engine. This repository is part of the SZL Holdings platform: physics-grounded, governed AI decision infrastructure for regulated environments.

Contribution model

killinchu is source-available software, published for evaluation, audit, and reference under the terms in LICENSE. It is governed by SZL Doctrine v11.

Reporting issues

• Bugs / correctness: open an issue with a minimal reproduction.
• Security: do NOT open a public issue. See SECURITY.md.

Pull requests

1. Sign your commits with the Developer Certificate of Origin (git commit -s). The DCO check enforces a Signed-off-by trailer whose author matches the commit author.
2. Keep changes additive and minimal; do not alter Doctrine-locked numbers.
3. Ensure all CI workflows pass (CI, CodeQL, Scorecard, SBOM, DCO) before requesting review.

Governance pre-flight

Every claim in code, docs, or PR description must be citable. We do not merge "fake green" — skipped or stubbed checks presented as passing will be rejected per Doctrine v11.
