+== Code of Conduct
+
+=== Our Pledge
+
+We as members, contributors, and leaders pledge to make participation in
+Contractiles a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of
+age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex
+characteristics, gender identity and expression, level of experience,
+education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance,
+race, caste, colour, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
+
+We pledge to act and interact in ways that contribute to an open,
+welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and healthy community.
+
+We recognise that a thriving open source community requires
+*psychological safety* — an environment where people can contribute, ask
+questions, make mistakes, and learn without fear of ridicule or
+retaliation.
+
+'''''
+
+=== Our Standards
+
+==== Expected Behaviour
+
+The following behaviours contribute to a positive environment:
+
+*Communication* - Using welcoming and inclusive language - Being
+respectful of differing viewpoints and experiences - Giving and
+gracefully accepting constructive feedback - Assuming good intent while
+addressing impact - Communicating clearly and patiently, especially with
+newcomers
+
+*Collaboration* - Focusing on what is best for the community - Showing
+empathy and kindness toward other community members - Being
+collaborative rather than competitive - Mentoring and supporting less
+experienced contributors - Celebrating others’ contributions and
+successes
+
+*Professionalism* - Accepting responsibility and apologising to those
+affected by our mistakes - Learning from the experience and avoiding
+repetition - Respecting others’ time and attention - Staying on topic in
+project spaces - Following project guidelines and conventions
+
+*Accessibility* - Using plain language and avoiding unnecessary jargon -
+Providing alt text for images and transcripts for audio/video - Being
+patient with those using assistive technologies - Accommodating
+different communication styles and needs - Recognising that not everyone
+communicates the same way
+
+==== Unacceptable Behaviour
+
+The following behaviours are considered harassment and are unacceptable:
+
+*Harassment* - The use of sexualised language or imagery, and sexual
+attention or advances of any kind - Trolling, insulting or derogatory
+comments, and personal or political attacks - Public or private
+harassment - Deliberate intimidation, stalking, or following (online or
+in-person) - Unwelcome physical contact or simulated physical contact
+(e.g., emoji) - Sustained disruption of talks, events, or online
+discussions
+
+*Discrimination* - Discriminatory jokes and language - Posting or
+threatening to post others’ personally identifying information
+("`doxing`") - Advocating for, or encouraging, any of the above
+behaviour - Microaggressions — subtle, often unintentional,
+discriminatory comments or actions
+
+*Professional Misconduct* - Publishing others’ private information
+without explicit permission - Misrepresenting affiliation or
+contributions - Plagiarism or claiming credit for others’ work -
+Retaliating against anyone who reports a Code of Conduct violation -
+Other conduct which could reasonably be considered inappropriate in a
+professional setting
+
+==== Grey Areas
+
+Some situations require judgement. When uncertain:
+
+* *Intent vs Impact*: Good intentions do not excuse harmful impact.
+Focus on making things right.
+* *Power Dynamics*: Those with more power (maintainers, employers,
+experienced contributors) must be especially mindful of their impact.
+* *Cultural Differences*: What’s acceptable varies by culture. When in
+doubt, err on the side of caution and ask.
+* *Humour*: Jokes at others’ expense are rarely funny to everyone. Punch
+up, not down.
+
+'''''
+
+=== Scope
+
+This Code of Conduct applies within all community spaces, including:
+
+*Online Spaces* - Repository discussions, issues, and pull/merge
+requests - Project chat channels (Matrix, Discord, Slack, IRC) - Mailing
+lists and forums - Social media when representing the project - Video
+calls and virtual meetings
+
+*In-Person Spaces* - Conferences, meetups, and events - Workshops and
+training sessions - Any gathering where you represent the project
+
+*Representation* This Code of Conduct also applies when an individual is
+officially representing the community in public spaces. Examples

+* Using an official project email address
+* Posting via an official social media account
+* Acting as an appointed representative at an event

+== Session Bindings (Thin Local Layer)
+
+This directory provides local integration for central session-management
+standards.
+
+Authoritative protocols live in:
+
+* `+../standards/session-management-standards/+` (or
+`+$SESSION_STANDARDS_DIR+`)
+
+This repo keeps only thin bindings:
+
+* `+dispatch.sh+` maps canonical commands to central protocol paths.
+* `+custom-checks.k9+` defines repo-local policy checks.
+* `+local-hooks.sh+` provides optional repo-specific hook behavior.
+
+=== Canonical Commands
+
+* `+intake repo +`
+* `+checkpoint change +`
+* `+verify maintenance +`
+* `+verify substantial +`
+* `+verify release +`
+* `+close planned +`
+* `+close urgent +`
+* `+recover repo +`
+* `+handover full +`
+* `+handover split +`
+* `+handover model +`
+* `+handover human +`
+
+=== Justfile Aliases
+
+Run `+just session-help+` to list aliases, then use recipes such as:
+
+* `+just intake-repo path=.+`
+* `+just checkpoint-change path=.+`
+* `+just verify-maintenance path=.+`
+* `+just close-planned path=.+`
+* `+just handover-model path=.+`
+
+=== Runtime Artifacts
+
+Runtime files are generated per repository in `+.session/+` and are not
+canonical standards text.
