Contributing

Thanks for helping grow the Chimera mesh.

Workflow

1. Fork & branch from main.
2. cargo fmt && cargo clippy -- -D warnings (when clippy is available).
3. cargo test && cargo check.
4. Open a PR with a clear summary + test plan.

Design rules

• Prefer postcard + BLAKE3 over ad-hoc formats.
• Never starve control frames for bulk I/O.
• Keep Windows default builds free of FUSE / userfaultfd / ZK / ML deps (feature-gate them).
• Document architectural choices as ADRs under docs/adr/.

Security

Do not commit secrets. Report vulnerabilities privately when possible. Mesh demos use self-signed QUIC certs — not production PKI.
