# Code of Conduct

## Our standard

Participants must keep technical debate respectful, specific, and focused on evidence. Harassment, threats, discriminatory conduct, doxxing, deliberate credential exposure, and sexualized or degrading communication are not acceptable.

## Research integrity

Contributors must describe limitations, preserve reproducibility, avoid fabricated results, disclose relevant conflicts, and never submit live credentials or personal data as test fixtures. Security testing must remain within systems and data the contributor is authorized to assess.

## Enforcement

Project maintainers may edit or remove content, close contributions, restrict participation, or escalate credible safety concerns. Report conduct concerns through the private project contact channel rather than a public issue when disclosure could harm a participant.
