jyvikoandClaude Opus 5.5 fe7d536719 develop is the trunk; main holds released code and moves by fast-forward at a release
CI runs on merges to develop (and on fork pull requests); the release workflow builds the draft
from a push to main. AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and docs/releasing.md follow.

# Contributing
Thanks for helping. Read [AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md) first: it holds the rules every change follows,
whether a person or an agent writes it.
## Before you start: claim an issue
Every change starts from an issue, and only the maintainer merges.
1. Pick an open issue labelled **help wanted** or **good first issue** that is not labelled
**claimed**. If what you want to do has no issue, open one first and wait for a reply.
2. Comment that you would like to take it. The maintainer assigns it to you and labels it
**claimed**; then it is yours. Work on unassigned issues may not be accepted.
3. Open a draft pull request early, linked with `Closes #N`. An issue with no visible progress
for 14 days goes back to the pool.
Issues labelled **in progress** are being worked on by the core team; please don't start on them.
## Making the change
1. Branch from `develop` (the trunk; `main` holds released code only) and open the pull request
against `develop`. Keep it to one topic.
2. Before pushing: `cargo fmt --all`, and `cargo clippy -p <crate> --all-targets -- -D warnings`
and `cargo test -p <crate>` for the crates you touched. CI runs the full gate on your pull
request once the maintainer approves the run.
3. User-visible behaviour is a command (`crates/engine/src/cmd/`) with tests, including hostile
parameters.
4. Meshing and solver algorithms cite the paper they come from in the module docs.
5. Never contribute code, text or data from GPL-family projects or commercial CAE products
(see [docs/adr/0001-libraries.md](docs/adr/0001-libraries.md)).
By contributing you agree your work is licensed under MIT OR Apache-2.0.
`develop` and `main` are protected: changes land on `develop` only through pull requests that the
maintainer has reviewed,
as rebase merges (keep each commit building and passing its tests). Be kind: see the
[code of conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
