# Code of Conduct

## Our commitment

We want Forge to be a welcoming, harassment-free community for everyone, regardless of
experience level, background, or identity. We are committed to a respectful and
constructive environment for all contributors and users.

## Expected behavior

- Be respectful, considerate, and collaborative.
- Welcome newcomers and assume good intent.
- Give and gracefully accept constructive feedback; critique ideas, not people.
- Focus on what is best for the community and the project.

## Unacceptable behavior

- Harassment, insults, or derogatory comments; personal or political attacks.
- Discriminatory language or imagery, or unwelcome sexual attention.
- Publishing others' private information without explicit permission.
- Sustained disruption of discussions, issues, or reviews.

## Scope

This code applies in all project spaces — the repository, issues, pull requests,
discussions — and when an individual is representing the project in public spaces.

## Enforcement

Instances of abusive or unacceptable behavior may be reported to the maintainers privately
via a [GitHub Security Advisory](https://github.com/nihalashetty/Forge/security/advisories/new)
or by contacting a maintainer directly. All reports will be reviewed and investigated
promptly and fairly, and reporter confidentiality will be respected.

Maintainers may take any action they deem appropriate, up to and including a temporary or
permanent ban from the community, and will communicate the reasons for moderation
decisions when appropriate.
