 # AI Usage Policy
 The Cinny project has strict rules for AI usage:
 - **All AI usage in any form must be disclosed.** You must state
  the tool you used (e.g. Claude Code, Cursor, Amp, Codex) along with
  the extent that the work was AI-assisted.
 - **The human-in-the-loop must fully understand all code.** If you
  can't explain what your changes do and how they interact with the
  greater system without the aid of AI tools, do not contribute
  to this project.
 - **Issues and discussions can use AI assistance but must have a full
  human-in-the-loop.** This means that any content generated with AI
  must have been reviewed _and edited_ by a human before submission.
  AI is very good at being overly verbose and including noise that
  distracts from the main point. Humans must do their research and
  trim this down.
 - **No AI-generated media is allowed (art, images, videos, audio, etc.).**
  Text and code are the only acceptable AI-generated content, per the
  other rules in this policy.
 - **Bad AI drivers will be banned.** You've been warned. We love to
  help junior developers learn and grow, but if you're interested
  in that then don't use AI, and we'll help you.
 These rules apply only to outside contributions to Cinny. Maintainers
 are exempt from these rules and may use AI tools at their discretion;
 they've proven themselves trustworthy to apply good judgment.
 ## There are Humans Here
 Please remember that Cinny is maintained by humans.
 Every discussion, issue, and pull request is read and reviewed by
 humans (and sometimes machines, too). It is a boundary point at which
 people interact with each other and the work done. It is rude and
 disrespectful to approach this boundary with low-effort, unqualified
 work, since it puts the burden of validation on the maintainer.
 In a perfect world, AI would produce high-quality, accurate work
 every time. But today, that reality depends on the driver of the AI.
 And today, most drivers of AI are just not good enough. So, until either
 the people get better, the AI gets better, or both, we have to have
 strict rules to protect maintainers.
 ## AI is Welcome Here
 **Our reason for the strict AI policy is not due to an anti-AI stance**, but
 instead due to the number of highly unqualified people using AI. It's the
 people, not the tools, that are the problem.
 I include this section to be transparent about the project's usage about
 AI for people who may disagree with it, and to address the misconception
 that this policy is anti-AI in nature.

-## Bug reports
+## The Critical Rule
-Bug reports and feature suggestions must use descriptive and concise titles and be submitted to [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/ajbura/cinny/issues). Please use the search function to make sure that you are not submitting duplicates, and that a similar report or request has not already been resolved or rejected.
+**The most important rule: you must understand your code.** If you can't
 explain what your changes do and how they interact with the greater system
 without the aid of AI tools, do not contribute to this project.
-## Pull requests
+Using AI to write code is fine. You can gain understanding by interrogating an
 agent with access to the codebase until you grasp all edge cases and effects
 of your changes. What's not fine is submitting agent-generated slop without
 that understanding. Be sure to read the [AI Usage Policy](AI_POLICY.md).
 ## AI Usage
 The Cinny project has strict rules for AI usage. Please see

-**The smaller the set of changes in the pull request is, the quicker it can be reviewed and merged.** Splitting tasks into multiple smaller pull requests is often preferable.
+If your issue hasn't been reported already, open an ["Issue Triage"] discussion

 ### I've implemented a feature
 1. If there is an issue for the feature, open a pull request straight away.
 2. If there is no issue, open a discussion and link to your branch.
 3. If you want to live dangerously, open a pull request and
   [hope for the best](#pull-requests-implement-an-issue).
 ### I have a question which is neither a bug report nor a feature request
 Open an [Q&A discussion], or join our [Matrix Space] and ask away in the
 `Cinny` room.
 Do not use other rooms to ask for help as our rooms are mostly specific
 topic only. If you do ask a question there, you will be redirected
 to `Cinny` room instead.

 ## General Patterns
 ### Issues are Actionable
 The Cinny [issue tracker](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/issues)
 is for _actionable items_.
 Unlike some other projects, Cinny **does not use the issue tracker for
 discussion or feature requests**. Instead, we use GitHub
 [discussions](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/discussions) for that.
 Once a discussion reaches a point where a well-understood, actionable
 item is identified, it is moved to the issue tracker. **This pattern
 makes it easier for maintainers or contributors to find issues to work on
 since _every issue_ is ready to be worked on.**
 If you are experiencing a bug and have clear steps to reproduce it, please
 open an issue. If you are experiencing a bug but you are not sure how to
 reproduce it or aren't sure if it's a bug, please open a discussion.
 If you have an idea for a feature, please open a discussion.
 ### Pull Requests Implement an Issue
 Pull requests should be associated with a previously accepted issue.
 **If you open a pull request for something that wasn't previously discussed,**
 it may be closed or remain stale for an indefinite period of time. I'm not
 saying it will never be accepted, but the odds are stacked against you.
 Issues tagged with "feature" represent accepted, well-scoped feature requests.
 If you implement an issue tagged with feature as described in the issue, your
 pull request will be accepted with a high degree of certainty.
 > [!NOTE]
 >
 > **Pull requests are NOT a place to discuss feature design.** Please do
 > not open a WIP pull request to discuss a feature. Instead, use a discussion
 > and link to your branch.

 Execute the following commands to start a development server:
 ```sh
 npm ci # Installs all dependencies
 npm start # Serve a development version
 ```
 To build the app:
 ```sh
 npm run build # Compiles the app into the dist/ directory
 ```
 To commit changes:
 ```sh
 npm run commit
 ```
 ## Running with Docker
 This repository includes a Dockerfile, which builds the application from
 source and serves it with Nginx on port 80. To use this locally, you can
 build the container like so:
 ```
 docker build -t cinny:latest .
 ```
 You can then run the container you've built with a command similar to this:
 ```
 docker run -p 8080:80 cinny:latest
 ```
 This will forward your `localhost` port 8080 to the container's port 80.
 You can visit the app in your browser by navigating to `http://localhost:8080`.
 ## Code formatting
 We use [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) for clean and stylistically
 consistent code syntax, so make sure your pull request follow it.

 ## Self-hosting
-To host Cinny on your own, simply download the tarball from [GitHub releases](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/releases/latest), and serve the files from `dist/` using your preferred webserver. Alternatively, you can just pull the docker image from [DockerHub](https://hub.docker.com/r/ajbura/cinny) or [GitHub Container Registry](https://github.com/cinnyapp/cinny/pkgs/container/cinny).

 ## Local development
 > [!TIP]
 > We recommend using a version manager as versions change very quickly. You will likely need to switch between multiple Node.js versions based on the needs of different projects you're working on. [NVM on windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows#installation--upgrades) on Windows and [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) on Linux/macOS are pretty good choices. Recommended nodejs version is Krypton LTS (v24.13.1).
 Execute the following commands to start a development server:
 ```sh
 npm ci # Installs all dependencies
 npm start # Serve a development version
 ```
 To build the app:
 ```sh
 npm run build # Compiles the app into the dist/ directory
 ```
 ### Running with Docker
 This repository includes a Dockerfile, which builds the application from source and serves it with Nginx on port 80. To
 use this locally, you can build the container like so:
 ```
 docker build -t cinny:latest .
 ```
 You can then run the container you've built with a command similar to this:
 ```
 docker run -p 8080:80 cinny:latest
 ```
 This will forward your `localhost` port 8080 to the container's port 80. You can visit the app in your browser by navigating to `http://localhost:8080`.
