2. **Branch** from `main` using `dev/XX.YY.ZZ/description` format
3. **Follow** [MokoStandards coding conventions](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/coding-style-guide.md)
4. **Commit** using [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/): `feat:`, `fix:`, `docs:`, `chore:`, etc.
5. **Open a PR** targeting `main` — squash merge only
## Prerequisites

### Quick Setup
## Version Bumping
For first-time contributors:
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoCassiopeia.git
cd MokoCassiopeia
```
See [docs/QUICK_START.md](./docs/QUICK_START.md) for detailed setup instructions.
## Development Tools
The repository provides several tools to streamline development:
* **Pre-commit Hooks**: Automatic local validation before commits
## Contribution Workflow
1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a branch from the active development branch.
3. Make focused, minimal changes that address a single concern.
4. Submit a pull request with a clear description of intent and impact.
Direct commits to protected branches are not permitted.
## Branching and Versioning
* Development work occurs on designated development branches.
* Releases are produced from versioned branches following repository standards.
* Contributors should not bump version numbers unless explicitly requested.
## Coding and Formatting Standards
All contributions must:
* Follow Joomla coding standards where applicable.
* Conform to Moko Consulting repository standards for headers, metadata, and file structure.
* Avoid introducing tabs, inconsistent path separators, or non portable assumptions.
Automated checks may reject changes that do not meet these requirements.
## Documentation Standards
Documentation changes must:
* Include required metadata and revision history sections.
* Avoid embedding version numbers in revision history tables.
* Preserve existing structure unless a structural change is explicitly proposed.
## Commit Messages
Commit messages should:
* Be concise and descriptive.
* Focus on what changed and why.
* Avoid referencing internal issue trackers unless required.
## Reporting Issues
Bug reports and enhancement requests should be filed as GitHub issues and include:
* Clear reproduction steps or use cases.
* Expected versus actual behavior.
* Relevant environment details.
Security related issues must follow the process defined in SECURITY.md and must not be reported publicly.
## Review Process
All pull requests are subject to review. Review criteria include:
* Technical correctness
* Alignment with project goals
* Maintainability and clarity
* Risk introduced to release and update processes
Maintainers may request changes prior to approval.
Every PR must bump the patch version in `README.md`. The `sync-version-on-merge` workflow propagates it to all file headers automatically on merge to `main`.
