- critiquing implementations without attacking people
- assuming good faith while still being precise about problems
- accepting correction when evidence shows a mistake
Examples of unacceptable behavior:
- harassment, intimidation, or personal insults
- discriminatory language or exclusionary conduct
- deliberate misrepresentation of results, benchmarks, or authorship
- repeated off-topic disruption after being asked to stop
## Scope
This code of conduct applies to repository discussions, issues, pull requests, and other project-managed communication channels.
## Reporting
If you experience or witness unacceptable behavior, open a private contact through the repository owner email listed in [CITATION.cff](CITATION.cff) or the maintainer contact on GitHub.
## Enforcement
Project maintainers may remove comments, close discussions, or block participation when behavior violates this policy.
