Contributor

This repository asked for nothing and said nothing about what it would accept.
The contribution policy lived in blueclaw's README and had no counterpart here.

Templates

Bug report asks for the event ledger first — the record of what the loop
did rather than what it said afterwards. cmd/bluecollar prints it to stderr
now, so a report no longer has a reason to arrive without one.

It also asks which model answered and through what. The loop requests structured
output, and weak models fail that differently from strong ones; that distinction
is most of the difference between a bug here and a bug in the caller.

Design question or disagreement asks the reporter to point at a test name,
since the guarantees of this loop are test names.

Contact links state the closed-until-alpha pull request policy so it does not
arrive as a public issue. Blank issues stay enabled. There is no SECURITY.md
in this repository, so nothing links to one.

PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md asks for the test that fails without the change.

Contributing section

Mirrors blueclaw's, with one difference: it says a decision you disagree with is
the most useful issue, which is what a pre-alpha library published for its design
actually wants.

Checks

All three YAML forms parse. Documentation and templates only — no code.

The contribution policy existed in blueclaw's README and nowhere here, so
this repository asked for nothing and said nothing about what it would
accept.

The bug form asks for the event ledger first. It is the record of what the
loop did rather than what it said afterwards, and cmd/bluecollar prints it

also asks which model answered and through what: the loop requests
structured output and weak models fail that differently from strong ones,
which is most of the difference between a bug here and a bug in the caller.

The second form is for arguing with a decision. The guarantees of this loop
are test names, so it asks the reporter to point at one.
