Contributors and maintainers pledge to provide a harassment-free, professional, and welcoming project environment regardless of age, body size, disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, experience, education, socioeconomic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
- Use respectful and inclusive language.
- Focus technical disagreement on evidence and project outcomes.
- Accept constructive review and correct mistakes transparently.
- Protect private information and confidential data.
- Respect the project's scientific, security, and compatibility requirements.
Harassment, sexualized conduct, threats, personal attacks, deliberate misrepresentation, disclosure of private information, and other unprofessional conduct are not acceptable.
This policy applies in repository issues, pull requests, discussions, release channels, and other spaces where someone represents BlackSTAR.
Maintainers may edit or remove content, reject contributions, restrict participation, or report conduct to GitHub when necessary. Do not publish sensitive conduct reports in a public issue. Use the private contact methods listed on the repository owner's GitHub profile or GitHub's abuse-reporting mechanism. Security vulnerabilities follow SECURITY.md.
Reports will be handled as confidentially as the available communication channel permits. BlackSTAR cannot guarantee a response time.
