1	# Contributing to g1t
2
3	g1t is built the way it asks others to build: issues and pull requests on
4	[g1t.sh/flagon-io/g1t](https://g1t.sh/flagon-io/g1t), required checks that prove
5	a change works, and a merge queue that keeps `main` passing.
6
7	## A change ships with its docs
8
9	Documentation is part of the product, held to the same bar as the code.
10	A pull request that changes what someone can do, see or call changes the
11	docs in the same pull request:
12
13	\| If you change \| Update \|
14	\| --- \| --- \|
15	\| Something a person does on g1t.sh \| The guide for it in `apps/docs/src/content/docs/guides/` \|
16	\| An API route, a field, or an MCP tool \| `apps/api/src/operations.rs` descriptions (they feed the OpenAPI document and the API reference), the example and notes for it in `apps/api/src/reference.json`, `reference/mcp.md`, and any guide that shows the call. Then refresh the docs' copy of the OpenAPI document with `G1T_WRITE_OPENAPI=1 cargo test -p g1t-api openapi`; `cargo test` fails until you do. \|
17	\| How agents behave \| `guides/working-with-g1t.md`, and `apps/web/public/llms.txt` \|
18	\| Settings, limits or prices \| The page that names them, and the table it is in \|
19	\| A new feature \| A section in the guide that owns it, linked from the docs home if it is a new task \|
20
21	The style, in short: plain sentences, second person, no marketing words,
22	sentence-case headings, a numbered list for steps, a table for options, and
23	every API mention with its exact route or tool name. Examples are copyable
24	and real. Nothing is documented that the code does not do.
25
26	Check the docs build before you push:
27
28	```sh
29	cd apps/docs && npm run build
30	```
31
32	## Icons
33
34	- Interface icons come from [Lucide](https://lucide.dev/icons). In the
35	apps, import them from `lucide-react`. In the docs, use `@lucide/astro`:
36	import an icon component, or give `apps/docs/src/components/Card.astro`
37	and `Aside.astro` a Lucide name such as `icon="git-branch"`. Starlight's
38	own `<Card>`, `<LinkCard>` and `<Aside>` draw Starlight's icon set, so the
39	docs import the wrappers in `apps/docs/src/components/` instead.
40	- Brand marks come from [Simple Icons](https://simpleicons.org)
41	(`simple-icons`), and follow each brand's own usage guidelines. Add the
42	dependency with the first one you show.
43	- The g1t logo and illustrations are our own artwork, in
44	`apps/web/app/components/logo.tsx` and `art.tsx`.
45	- Never hand-copy an icon's SVG paths into a file. If Lucide lacks the
46	icon you need, pick the closest one that it has.
47
48	## Before you push
49
50	- `cargo test` in the crate or service you changed.
51	- `npx tsc -b --force` in `apps/web` (the incremental build misses changes
52	in `packages/contracts`).
53	- Look at what you changed in a browser. Screenshots catch what type
54	checks do not.
55
56	## Deploying
57
58	Pushes to `main` deploy themselves: `.g1t/workflows/deploy.yml` runs
59	`scripts/deploy.mjs`, which deploys only the parts that changed, migrations
60	first. Every deployable part is listed in `deploy/stack.jsonc`; a new service
61	or app goes there, and in the table on
62	[How a self-hosted g1t runs](https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/self-hosting-architecture/#each-part)
63	(`npm run test:deploy` says what is missing).
64	[Deploy g1t to Cloudflare](https://docs.g1t.sh/guides/deploy-to-cloudflare/)
65	covers the tool, the workflow, rollbacks, adding a unit and first-time
66	setup.
67
68	- Migrations run before the code, so the old code reads the new schema
69	for a minute or more. Add tables and columns; change what rows mean in
70	two deploys (code that reads both forms first); never drop what live code
71	still reads.
72	- The self-hosted runner is released, not deployed: bump `version` in
73	`crates/runner/Cargo.toml`, merge, and push a `runner-v<version>` tag.
74	`.g1t/workflows/runner-release.yml` builds, signs and publishes it, and
75	runners update themselves to it. `scripts/runner-release.mjs` does the
76	same by hand.
77
78	## Speed
79
80	Pages are a few rounds of service calls, and each round costs a trip to
81	the databases, so start calls together and add no rounds.
82
83	- Every page answers with `Server-Timing`: each loader, each service's
84	calls and their database time. Look at it in DevTools when a page feels
85	slow.
86	- `scripts/perf/measure.ps1` times pages from your machine (`-BrowserUA`
87	for signed-out pages as a browser sees them). A page that only reads
88	must not set the `g1t_d1` cookie: a new read-only service method goes in
89	`READS` in `apps/web/app/lib/perf.ts`.
90	- Targets from the US: signed-out pages under 200 ms to first byte,
91	signed-in pages under 400 ms, streamed panels within a second.
92	- Workers run without Smart Placement; `scripts/perf/placement-probe.mjs`
93	measures a placement before you pin one.
94
95	## Rate limits
96
97	`RATE_LIMITS` in `packages/contracts/src/rate-limits.ts` is the table of
98	record, and the [rate limits page](https://docs.g1t.sh/reference/rate-limits/)
99	is the public one: change both, and the binding in the Worker's
100	`wrangler.jsonc`, together (`front-door-limits.test.ts` fails when they
101	disagree). Limits fail open, keys hash anything secret, and each Worker
102	takes its namespace ids from its own block of a hundred (41xx packages,
103	42xx web, 43xx repos, 44xx api, 45xx og, 46xx status).
104
105	## Operating g1t.sh
106
107	For Flagon staff.
108
109	- Incidents are declared, updated and resolved in sudo, under
110	Platform → Incidents, and appear on status.g1t.sh within 30 seconds.
111	Declare as soon as people are affected, and pick the higher severity
112	when unsure. SEV1 (down for most people, or data at risk) gets an update
113	at least every 30 minutes and SEV2 (a core part broken for many) at least
114	hourly; both email subscribers and need a blameless postmortem within
115	five working days.
116	- An Artifacts outage: `scripts/ops/gitstore-namespaces.mjs` shows a
117	failing namespace. After 15 minutes, serve it read-only from the fallback
118	git store (`scripts/ops/restore-to-gitstore.mjs restore`, then the repos
119	Worker's secret `GIT_FALLBACK_NAMESPACES`) and open an incident. To
120	switch back, `reconcile` anything the fallback took, then delete the
121	secret. The script's header has every step.
122	- Costs and margin, model prices, credits and the platform pause are
123	in sudo, under Costs & margin. The code is in `services/billing/src`
124	(`costs.rs`, `margin.rs`, `pricing.rs`, `budget.rs`, `platform.rs`).
