-## Contributing
+# Contributing

-This document defines how to contribute to the MokoCassiopeia project. The goal is to ensure changes are reviewable, auditable, and aligned with project governance and release processes.
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to **MokoCassiopeia**!

-## Scope
+This repository is governed by **[MokoStandards](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards)** — the authoritative source of coding standards, workflows, and policies for all Moko Consulting repositories.

-These guidelines apply to all contributions, including:
+## Branch Strategy

-* Source code changes
-* Documentation updates
-* Bug reports and enhancement proposals
+| Branch | Purpose | Deploys To |
+|--------|---------|------------|
+| `main` | Bleeding edge — all development merges here | CI only |
+| `dev/XX.YY.ZZ` | Feature development | Dev server (version: "development") |
+| `version/XX.YY.ZZ` | Stable frozen snapshot | Demo + RS servers |

-## Prerequisites
+### Development Workflow

-Contributors are expected to:
-
-* Have a working understanding of Joomla template structure.
-* Be familiar with Git and GitHub pull request workflows.
-* Review repository governance documents prior to submitting changes.
-* Set up the development environment using the provided tools.
-
-### Quick Setup
-
-For first-time contributors:
-
-```bash
-# Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoCassiopeia.git
-cd MokoCassiopeia
+```
+1. Create branch:   git checkout -b dev/XX.YY.ZZ/my-feature
+2. Develop + test    (dev server auto-deploys on push)
+3. Open PR → main    (squash merge only)
+4. Auto-release      (version branch + tag + GitHub Release created automatically)
 ```

-See [docs/QUICK_START.md](./docs/QUICK_START.md) for detailed setup instructions.
+### Branch Naming

-## Development Tools
+| Prefix | Use |
+|--------|-----|
+| `dev/XX.YY.ZZ` | Feature development (e.g., `dev/02.00.00/add-extrafields`) |
+| `version/XX.YY.ZZ` | Stable release (auto-created, never manually pushed) |
+| `chore/` | Automated sync branches (managed by MokoStandards) |

-The repository provides several tools to streamline development:
+> **Never use** `feature/`, `hotfix/`, or `release/` prefixes — they are not part of the MokoStandards branch strategy.

-* **Pre-commit Hooks**: Automatic local validation before commits
+## Commit Conventions

-## Contribution Workflow
+Use [conventional commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):

-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.
+```
+feat(scope): add new extrafield for invoice tracking
+fix(sql): correct column type in llx_mytable
+docs(readme): update installation instructions
+chore(deps): bump enterprise library to 04.02.30
+```

-Direct commits to protected branches are not permitted.
+**Valid types:** `feat` | `fix` | `docs` | `chore` | `ci` | `refactor` | `style` | `test` | `perf` | `revert` | `build`

-## Branching and Versioning
+## Pull Request Workflow

-* 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.
+1. **Branch** from `main` using `dev/XX.YY.ZZ/description` format
+2. **Bump** the patch version in `README.md` before opening the PR
+3. **Title** must be a valid conventional commit subject line
+4. **Target** `main` — squash merge only (merge commits are disabled)
+5. **CI checks** must pass before merge

-## Coding and Formatting Standards
+### What Happens on Merge

-All contributions must:
+When your PR is merged to `main`, these workflows run automatically:

-* 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.
+1. **sync-version-on-merge** — auto-bumps patch version, propagates to all file headers
+2. **auto-release** — creates `version/XX.YY.ZZ` branch, git tag, and GitHub Release
+3. **deploy-demo / deploy-rs** — deploys to demo and RS servers (if `src/**` changed)

-Automated checks may reject changes that do not meet these requirements.
+## Coding Standards

-## Documentation Standards
+All contributions must follow [MokoStandards](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards):

-Documentation changes must:
+| Standard | Reference |
+|----------|-----------|
+| Coding Style | [coding-style-guide.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/coding-style-guide.md) |
+| File Headers | [file-header-standards.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/file-header-standards.md) |
+| Branching | [branch-release-strategy.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/branch-release-strategy.md) |
+| Merge Strategy | [merge-strategy.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/merge-strategy.md) |
+| Scripting | [scripting-standards.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/policy/scripting-standards.md) |
+| Build & Release | [build-release.md](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards/blob/main/docs/workflows/build-release.md) |

-* 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.

+BRIEF: Security vulnerability reporting and handling policy
 -->

-## Security Policy
+# Security Policy

-This document defines how MokoCassiopeia handles vulnerability intake, triage, remediation, and disclosure. The objective is to reduce risk, protect downstream users, and preserve operational continuity with a verifiable audit trail.
+## Purpose and Scope

-## Scope
-
-This policy applies to:
-
-* Repository source code, workflows, scripts, and build artifacts.
-* Release packaging (ZIP outputs) generated from the repository.
-* Configuration and metadata used for distribution (for example manifests and update metadata).
-
-Out of scope:
-
-* Vulnerabilities in upstream Joomla core, third party extensions, or external infrastructure not controlled by this repository.
-* Issues that require physical access to a host, compromised administrator credentials, or a compromised hosting provider, unless the repository materially increases impact.
+This document defines the security vulnerability reporting, response, and disclosure policy for [PROJECT_NAME] and all repositories governed by these standards. It establishes the authoritative process for responsible disclosure, assessment, remediation, and communication of security issues.

 ## Supported Versions

-Security fixes are prioritized for:
+Security updates are provided for the following versions:

-* The latest released version.
-* The current development line when it is actively used for release engineering.
+| Version | Supported          |
+| ------- | ------------------ |
+| [X.x.x] | :white_check_mark: |
+| < [X.0] | :x:                |

-Backports may be provided based on impact, deployment footprint, and engineering capacity.
+Only the current major version receives security updates. Users should upgrade to the latest supported version to receive security patches.

 ## Reporting a Vulnerability

-Use one of the following channels:
+### Where to Report

-* GitHub Security Advisories (preferred): use the repository security tab to submit a private report.
-* Email: send details to `hello@mokoconsulting.tech` with subject `SECURITY: MokoCassiopeia vulnerability report`.
+**DO NOT** create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.

-Do not file a public GitHub issue for suspected security vulnerabilities.
+Report security vulnerabilities privately to:

-### What to include
+**Email**: `security@[DOMAIN]`

-Provide enough detail to reproduce and triage:
+**Subject Line**: `[SECURITY] Brief Description`

-* A clear description of the vulnerability and expected impact.
-* A minimal proof of concept or reproduction steps.
-* Affected versions, configuration assumptions, and environment details.
-* Any proposed mitigation or patch.
-* Your preferred contact details for follow up.
+### What to Include

-## Triage and Response Targets
+A complete vulnerability report should include:

-The project operates with response targets aligned to practical delivery realities:
+1. **Description**: Clear explanation of the vulnerability
+2. **Impact**: Potential security impact and severity assessment
+3. **Affected Versions**: Which versions are vulnerable
+4. **Reproduction Steps**: Detailed steps to reproduce the issue
+5. **Proof of Concept**: Code, configuration, or demonstration (if applicable)
+6. **Suggested Fix**: Proposed remediation (if known)
+7. **Disclosure Timeline**: Your expectations for public disclosure

-* **Acknowledgement:** within 3 business days.
-* **Initial triage:** within 10 business days.
-* **Fix plan:** communicated once severity is confirmed.
+### Response Timeline

-These targets are not guarantees. Complex issues, supply chain considerations, and coordination with upstream vendors may extend timelines.
+* **Initial Response**: Within 3 business days
+* **Assessment Complete**: Within 7 business days
+* **Fix Timeline**: Depends on severity (see below)
+* **Disclosure**: Coordinated with reporter

-## Severity Assessment
+## Severity Classification

-Issues are triaged based on business impact and technical exploitability, including:
+Vulnerabilities are classified using the following severity levels:

-* Remote exploitability and required privileges.
-* Data confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
-* Likelihood of exploitation in typical Joomla deployments.
-* Exposure surface (public endpoints, administrator area, installation flows, and update mechanisms).
+### Critical
+* Remote code execution
+* Authentication bypass
+* Data breach or exposure of sensitive information
+* **Fix Timeline**: 7 days

-When appropriate, industry standard scoring such as CVSS may be used for internal prioritization.
+### High
+* Privilege escalation
+* SQL injection or command injection
+* Cross-site scripting (XSS) with significant impact
+* **Fix Timeline**: 14 days

-## Coordinated Disclosure
+### Medium
+* Information disclosure (limited scope)
+* Denial of service
+* Security misconfigurations with moderate impact
+* **Fix Timeline**: 30 days

-The project follows coordinated vulnerability disclosure:
+### Low
+* Security best practice violations
+* Minor information leaks
+* Issues requiring user interaction or complex preconditions
+* **Fix Timeline**: 60 days or next release

-* Reports are treated as confidential until remediation is available.
-* A public advisory may be published once a fix is released.
-* A reasonable embargo period is expected to enable patch distribution.
+## Remediation Process

-If you believe disclosure is time sensitive due to active exploitation, include that assessment and any supporting indicators.
+1. **Acknowledgment**: Security team confirms receipt and begins investigation
+2. **Assessment**: Vulnerability is validated, severity assigned, and impact analyzed
+3. **Development**: Security patch is developed and tested
+4. **Review**: Patch undergoes security review and validation
+5. **Release**: Fixed version is released with security advisory
+6. **Disclosure**: Public disclosure follows coordinated timeline

-## Security Updates and Advisories
+## Security Advisories

-Security updates are distributed through:
+Security advisories are published via:

-* GitHub releases for the repository.
-* GitHub Security Advisories when applicable.
+* GitHub Security Advisories
+* Release notes and CHANGELOG.md
+* Security mailing list (when established)

-Advisories may include:
+Advisories include:

-* Affected versions and fixed versions.
-* Mitigations and workarounds when a fix is not immediately available.
-* Upgrade guidance.
+* CVE identifier (if applicable)
+* Severity rating
+* Affected versions
+* Fixed versions
+* Mitigation steps
+* Attribution (with reporter consent)

-## Dependencies and Supply Chain Controls
+## Security Best Practices

-The project aims to manage supply chain risk through:
+For repositories adopting MokoStandards:

-* Pinning and review of workflow dependencies where feasible.
-* Minimizing privileged GitHub token permissions.
-* Validating build inputs prior to packaging releases.
+### Required Controls

-If you identify a supply chain issue (for example compromised action, dependency confusion, or malicious upstream artifact), report it as a vulnerability.
+* Enable GitHub security features (Dependabot, code scanning)
+* Implement branch protection on `main`
+* Require code review for all changes
+* Enforce signed commits (recommended)
+* Use secrets management (never commit credentials)
+* Maintain security documentation
+* Follow secure coding standards defined in `/docs/policy/`

-## Secure Development and CI Expectations
+### CI/CD Security

-Security posture is reinforced through operational controls:
+* Validate all inputs
+* Sanitize outputs
+* Use least privilege access
+* Pin dependencies with hash verification
+* Scan for vulnerabilities in dependencies
+* Audit third-party actions and tools

-* CI validation for packaging inputs and manifest integrity.
-* Consistent path normalization and whitespace hygiene checks where required for release correctness.
-* Least privilege for GitHub Actions permissions.
+#### Automated Security Scanning

-### Template Security Features
+All repositories MUST implement:

-**Custom Head Content Injection**
+**CodeQL Analysis**:
+* Enabled for all supported languages (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C/C++, C#, Go, Ruby)
+* Runs on: push to main, pull requests, weekly schedule
+* Query sets: `security-extended` and `security-and-quality`
+* Configuration: `.github/workflows/codeql-analysis.yml`

-The template provides Custom Head Code fields (`custom_head_start` and `custom_head_end`) that allow administrators to inject custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. This is an intentional feature for:
+**Dependabot Security Updates**:
+* Weekly scans for vulnerable dependencies
+* Automated pull requests for security patches
+* Configuration: `.github/dependabot.yml`

-* Adding analytics scripts (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager)
-* Custom meta tags
-* Third-party integrations
-* Custom styling
+**Secret Scanning**:
+* Enabled by default with push protection
+* Prevents accidental credential commits
+* Partner patterns enabled

-**Security Considerations:**
+**Dependency Review**:
+* Required for all pull requests
+* Blocks introduction of known vulnerable dependencies
+* Automatic license compliance checking

-* These fields use `filter="raw"` to allow HTML/JS injection
-* **Access is restricted to Joomla administrators only** via template configuration
-* This is not an XSS vulnerability as it requires administrator privileges
-* Administrators should only add trusted code from verified sources
-* Regular security audits should review custom head content
+See [Security Scanning Policy](docs/policy/security-scanning.md) for detailed requirements.

-This policy does not guarantee that all vulnerabilities will be prevented. It defines how risk is managed when issues are discovered.
+### Dependency Management

-## Safe Harbor
+* Keep dependencies up to date
+* Monitor security advisories for dependencies
+* Remove unused dependencies
+* Audit new dependencies before adoption
+* Document security-critical dependencies

-The project supports good faith security research. When you:
+## Compliance and Governance

-* Avoid privacy violations, data destruction, and service disruption.
-* Limit testing to systems you own or have explicit permission to test.
-* Provide a reasonable window for coordinated disclosure.
+This security policy is binding for all repositories governed by MokoStandards. Deviations require documented justification and approval from the Security Owner.

-Then the project will treat your report as a constructive security contribution.
+Security policies are reviewed and updated at least annually or following significant security incidents.

-Jurisdiction note: this repository is managed from Tennessee, USA. This note is informational only and does not constitute legal advice.
+## Attribution and Recognition

-## Public Communications
+We acknowledge and appreciate responsible disclosure. With your permission, we will:

-Only maintainers will publish security advisories or public statements for confirmed vulnerabilities. Public communication will focus on actionable remediation and operational risk reduction.
+* Credit you in security advisories
+* List you in CHANGELOG.md for the fix release
+* Recognize your contribution publicly (if desired)

-## Acknowledgements
+## Contact and Escalation

-If you want credit, include the name or handle to list in an advisory. If you prefer anonymity, state that explicitly.
+* **Security Team**: security@[DOMAIN]
+* **Primary Contact**: [CONTACT_EMAIL]
+* **Escalation**: For urgent matters requiring immediate attention, contact the maintainer directly via GitHub
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+The following are explicitly out of scope:
+
+* Issues in third-party dependencies (report directly to maintainers)
+* Social engineering attacks
+* Physical security issues
+* Denial of service via resource exhaustion without amplification
+* Issues requiring physical access to systems
+* Theoretical vulnerabilities without proof of exploitability

+BRIEF: How this extension's Joomla update server file (update.xml) is managed
+-->
+
+# Joomla Update Server
+
+[![MokoStandards](https://img.shields.io/badge/MokoStandards-04.04.00-blue)](https://github.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoStandards)
+
+This document explains how `update.xml` is automatically managed for this Joomla extension following the [Joomla Update Server specification](https://docs.joomla.org/Deploying_an_Update_Server).
+
+## How It Works
+
+Joomla checks for extension updates by fetching an XML file from the URL defined in the `<updateservers>` tag in the extension's XML manifest. MokoStandards generates this file automatically.
+
+### Automatic Generation
+
+| Event | Workflow | `<tag>` | `<version>` |
+|-------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| Merge to `main` | `auto-release.yml` | `stable` | `XX.YY.ZZ` |
+| Push to `dev/**` | `deploy-dev.yml` | `development` | `development` |
+| Push to `rc/**` | `deploy-dev.yml` | `rc` | `XX.YY.ZZ-rc` |
+
+### Generated XML Structure
+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
+<updates>
+    <update>
+        <name>Extension Name</name>
+        <description>Extension Name update</description>
+        <element>com_extensionname</element>
+        <type>component</type>
+        <version>01.02.03</version>
+        <client>site</client>
+        <folder>system</folder>          <!-- plugins only -->
+        <tags>
+            <tag>stable</tag>
+        </tags>
+        <infourl title="Extension Name">https://github.com/.../releases/tag/v01.02.03</infourl>
+        <downloads>
+            <downloadurl type="full" format="zip">https://github.com/.../releases/download/v01.02.03/com_ext-01.02.03.zip</downloadurl>
+        </downloads>
+        <targetplatform name="joomla" version="((4\.[3-9])|(5\.[0-9]))" />
+        <php_minimum>8.1</php_minimum>   <!-- if present in manifest -->
+        <maintainer>Moko Consulting</maintainer>
+        <maintainerurl>https://mokoconsulting.tech</maintainerurl>
+    </update>
+</updates>
+```
+
+### Metadata Source
+
+All metadata is extracted from the extension's XML manifest (`src/*.xml`) at build time:
+
+| XML Element | Source | Notes |
+|-------------|--------|-------|
+| `<name>` | `<name>` in manifest | Extension display name |
+| `<element>` | `<element>` in manifest | Must match installed extension identifier |
+| `<type>` | `type` attribute on `<extension>` | `component`, `module`, `plugin`, `library`, `package`, `template` |
+| `<client>` | `client` attribute on `<extension>` | `site` or `administrator` — **required for plugins and modules** |
+| `<folder>` | `group` attribute on `<extension>` | Plugin group (e.g., `system`, `content`) — **required for plugins** |
+| `<targetplatform>` | `<targetplatform>` in manifest | Falls back to Joomla 4.3+ / 5.x if not specified |
+| `<php_minimum>` | `<php_minimum>` in manifest | Included only if present |
+
+### Extension Manifest Setup
+
+Your XML manifest must include an `<updateservers>` tag pointing to the `update.xml` on the `main` branch:
+
+```xml
+<extension type="component" client="site" method="upgrade">
+    <name>My Extension</name>
+    <element>com_myextension</element>
+    <!-- ... -->
+    <updateservers>
+        <server type="extension" name="My Extension Updates">
+            https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoCassiopeia/main/update.xml
+        </server>
+    </updateservers>
+</extension>
+```
+
+### Branch Lifecycle
+
+```
+dev/XX.YY.ZZ  →  rc/XX.YY.ZZ  →  main  →  version/XX.YY.ZZ
+(development)     (rc)              (stable)    (frozen snapshot)
+```
+
+1. **Development** (`dev/**`): `update.xml` with `<tag>development</tag>`, download points to branch archive
+2. **Release Candidate** (`rc/**`): `update.xml` with `<tag>rc</tag>`, version set to `XX.YY.ZZ-rc`
+3. **Stable Release** (merge to `main`): `update.xml` with `<tag>stable</tag>`, download points to GitHub Release asset
+4. **Frozen Snapshot** (`version/XX.YY.ZZ`): immutable, never force-pushed
+
+### Health Checks
+
+The `repo_health.yml` workflow verifies on every commit:
+
+- `update.xml` exists in the repository root
+- XML manifest exists with `<extension>` tag
+- `<version>`, `<name>`, `<author>`, `<namespace>` tags present
+- Extension `type` attribute is valid
+- Language `.ini` files exist
+- `index.html` directory listing protection in `src/`, `src/admin/`, `src/site/`
