FAQPage Schema
How do I standardize a contribution workflow from issue to pull request?▼

Standardize a contribution workflow by reviewing README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md, implementing the smallest coherent change, running baseline quality checks like make lint and make test, and preparing a validated PR summary.

What baseline quality checks should I run before submitting a pull request?▼

Run make format, make lint, make type-check, and make test as baseline quality checks before submitting a pull request to ensure code changes align with project standards and pass CI validation.

How do I validate app behavior on non-Pi environments before a pull request?▼

Validate app behavior on non-Pi environments before a pull request by running the application with MOCK_CAMERA=true to simulate hardware dependencies and ensure cross-platform compatibility.

Can I use this contribution workflow for documentation updates and bug fixes?▼

Yes, this contribution workflow supports code changes, documentation updates, bug fixes, and feature additions, requiring README.md updates if behavior or configuration changes to maintain accurate user guidance.

What's the best way to prepare a PR-ready change summary with testing evidence?▼

Prepare a PR-ready change summary by documenting what changed, why the modification was necessary, and how it was tested, ensuring the smallest coherent change is validated against CONTRIBUTING.md expectations.

Why does my contribution workflow require updating README.md for configuration changes?▼

Updating README.md for configuration changes is required because the contribution workflow enforces accurate user guidance, ensuring runtime assumptions and local development instructions reflect any modified behavior.
