For contributors

Working on noggin? Start here.

Where things live

• CONTRIBUTING.md — overall workflow: clone, install, branch, release.
• .github/copilot-instructions.md — architecture in one paragraph, the conventions used everywhere in the repo, and the rules AI assistants are asked to follow.

In this section

• Testing strategy — four tiers, what each catches, where each lives, how to add one.
• Sync coverage matrix — every (provider × topology) cell mapped to the test that pins it. Where to look when cross-instance sync regresses.

More guides will land here as the project grows. The principle is: anything contributors need that isn't on the user-facing pages goes in this section.
