Pull requests are welcome! See CONTRIBUTING.md for development setup, architecture, and build instructions. Encounty was built with the help of LLM coding assistants, without them a project of this scope wouldn't have been possible to build solo in this timeframe, so PRs created with the help of LLM agents are explicitly welcome too.
