# Contributing
|
|
|
|
Contributions are welcome through GitLab merge requests.
|
|
|
|
1. Create a focused branch and explain the user-visible behavior.
|
|
2. Use Python 3.12+, type hints, `pathlib`, and existing provider/UI boundaries.
|
|
3. Add tests for behavior changes. Never require real registry writes or specific hardware in tests.
|
|
4. Run `pytest` and `ruff check .` before submitting.
|
|
5. Do not add network access, telemetry, runtime downloads, elevation, or opaque binary dependencies.
|

|
|
For new device protocols, document the tested product/connection type without including device
|
|
serial numbers or personal HID paths.
