Code of Conduct

Hermes-Relay adopts the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1, as its code of conduct. The canonical, full text lives at that link; the summary below states what it means for this project.

Our Pledge

We as members, contributors, and maintainers pledge to make participation in our community a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open, welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.

Our Standards

Behavior that helps create a positive environment includes:

• Showing empathy and kindness toward others.
• Being respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
• Giving and gracefully accepting constructive feedback.
• Taking responsibility, apologizing to those affected by our mistakes, and learning from the experience.
• Focusing on what is best for the overall community, not just ourselves.

Behavior that is not acceptable includes:

• Harassment, intimidation, or discrimination in any form.
• Personal or political attacks, insults, or derogatory comments.
• Unwelcome advances or attention, including of a romantic or sexual nature.
• Publishing others' private information (such as a physical or email address) without their explicit permission.
• Other conduct that could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a professional setting.

For the complete, canonical list of standards and examples, see the Contributor Covenant v2.1.

Enforcement Responsibilities

Project maintainers are responsible for clarifying and enforcing these standards and will take appropriate and fair corrective action in response to any behavior they deem inappropriate, threatening, offensive, or harmful.

Maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or reject comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions that are not aligned with this Code of Conduct, and will communicate reasons for moderation decisions when appropriate.

Scope

This Code of Conduct applies within all project spaces — the repository, issues, pull requests, discussions, and the documentation site — and also applies when an individual is officially representing the project in public spaces.

Reporting & Enforcement

Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be reported privately to the maintainers at conduct@codename-11.dev. All complaints will be reviewed and investigated promptly and fairly. Maintainers are obligated to respect the privacy and security of the reporter of any incident.

For the Enforcement Guidelines (the tiered Correction → Warning → Temporary Ban → Permanent Ban ladder maintainers use to determine consequences), see the corresponding section of the Contributor Covenant v2.1.

Attribution

This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1. Community Impact Guidelines were inspired by Mozilla's code of conduct enforcement ladder.
