Contributing to UnionOps

UnionOps is source-available, stewarded by Ryan Morris. Contributions are welcome for discussion; acceptance is at the steward’s discretion.

Before you start

Read docs/VISION.md and AGENTS.md.
Respect multi-union rules: no hardcoding a single union as the platform default.
Do not commit secrets, .env files, private keys, or real member data.

Open an issue describing the problem or idea (use the templates).
Fork or branch from main.
Keep PRs focused. Prefer small, reviewable diffs.
Update EN and FR strings when you change user-facing copy (messages/en.json, messages/fr.json).
Run before opening a PR:

npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm run test:unit

For UI/route changes, also run npm run test:smoke when practical.

By submitting a contribution, you assign copyright in that contribution to Ryan Morris (see LICENSE). Do not submit code you cannot assign.

Cross-union data access
