This code applies in project spaces, including issues, pull requests, discussions, and other communication channels maintained by the project. It also applies when someone officially represents the project in public spaces or at events.
Report violations privately to Max Lv at max.c.lv@gmail.com. Include a description of what happened, relevant links or screenshots when available, and any immediate concerns. You do not need to confront the person involved before reporting.
If your report involves that maintainer, contact Linus Yang at linusyang@gmail.com instead. A maintainer involved in a report should not decide its outcome.
Please avoid posting reports or private details in public issues. Reports will be reviewed fairly and handled as confidentially as possible, with information shared only as needed to investigate and respond.
Maintainers may edit or remove contributions that violate this code and will consider the severity, impact, and history of the behavior when responding. Responses may include a request to stop or correct the behavior, a warning, a temporary restriction on participation, or a permanent ban. Serious violations may result in an immediate ban without a prior warning.
When practical, maintainers will explain the action and its reason privately to the person affected. Anyone seeking reconsideration may contact an uninvolved maintainer through the reporting contacts above and provide additional context. Maintainers are expected to follow this code themselves and apply it consistently.
