# Contributing to timmy-config
## Proof Standard
This is a hard rule.
- visual changes require screenshot proof
- do not commit screenshots or binary media to Gitea backup unless explicitly required
- CLI/verifiable changes must cite the exact command output, log path, or world-state proof showing acceptance criteria were met
- config-only changes are not fully accepted when the real acceptance bar is live runtime behavior
- no proof, no merge
## How to satisfy the rule
### Visual changes
Examples:
- skin updates
- terminal UI layout changes
- browser-facing output
- dashboard/panel changes
Required proof:
- attach screenshot proof to the PR or issue discussion
- keep the screenshot outside the repo unless explicitly asked to commit it
- name what the screenshot proves
### CLI / harness / operational changes
Examples:
- scripts
- config wiring
- heartbeat behavior
- model routing
- export pipelines
Required proof:
- cite the exact command used
- paste the relevant output, or
- cite the exact log path / world-state artifact that proves the change
Good:
- `python3 -m pytest tests/test_x.py -q``2 passed`
- `~/.timmy/timmy-config/logs/huey.log`
- `~/.hermes/model_health.json`
Bad:
- "looks right"
- "compiled"
- "should work now"
## Default merge gate
Every PR should make it obvious:
1. what changed
2. what acceptance criteria were targeted
3. what evidence proves those criteria were met
If that evidence is missing, the PR is not done.
