| 1 | +# Public Repository Strategy |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This repository is run as a solo-maintainer open source project. The operating model is deliberately simple so the project can stay useful without creating an unsustainable review and support burden. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## 1. Scope Control |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- Keep the public API small and explicit. |
| 8 | +- Favor commands and response fields that are deterministic and agent-friendly. |
| 9 | +- Treat feature requests as proposals, not commitments. |
| 10 | +- Prefer documentation and diagnostics over adding new flags when the same user problem can be solved with clearer workflows. |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## 2. Triage Model |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +- Bugs with a minimal reproduction get first priority. |
| 15 | +- Regressions in existing CLI behavior outrank new feature work. |
| 16 | +- Windows, Node, React, and Playwright version details are required for environment-sensitive reports. |
| 17 | +- Issues without enough detail to reproduce may be closed after follow-up. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +## 3. Release Strategy |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Keep releases small and incremental. |
| 22 | +- Require a green CI run plus local maintainer confidence before publishing. |
| 23 | +- Prefer shipping focused fixes quickly over batching unrelated changes into larger releases. |
| 24 | +- When behavior changes materially, update `README.md` in the same change. |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +## 4. Contribution Policy |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +- Accept bug fixes, docs improvements, and narrowly scoped maintainability improvements most readily. |
| 29 | +- Review larger features only when the long-term maintenance cost is clear and acceptable. |
| 30 | +- Use squash merges to keep history readable. |
| 31 | +- Delete merged branches to reduce repository clutter. |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +## 5. Support Boundary |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +- The repository is not a general consulting channel for Playwright, React DevTools internals, or app-specific performance debugging. |
| 36 | +- Best-effort support is limited to the CLI's documented behavior. |
| 37 | +- Non-actionable support requests should be redirected toward reproducible issues or clearer documentation gaps. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## 6. Automation Baseline |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- Run CI on push and pull request for the default branch. |
| 42 | +- Validate the build and test suite on both Linux and Windows because session/runtime behavior can be platform-sensitive. |
| 43 | +- Keep automation intentionally lightweight; avoid adding bots that create more inbox traffic than value. |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +## 7. Repository Defaults |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +- Public visibility |
| 48 | +- Issues enabled |
| 49 | +- Wiki disabled |
| 50 | +- Projects disabled |
| 51 | +- Discussions disabled unless issue volume justifies a separate support channel |
| 52 | +- Secret scanning enabled when available |
| 53 | +- Topic metadata kept current so the repo is discoverable without overselling scope |
