Most features are not accepted and should be third party plugins instead using our plugin SDK. 3. **Refactor-only PRs** → Don't open a PR. We are not accepting refactor-only changes unless a maintainer explicitly asks for them as part of a concrete fix. 4. **Test/CI-only PRs for known `main` failures** → Don't open a PR. The Maintainer team is already tracking those failures, and PRs that only tweak tests or CI to chase them will be closed unless they are required to validate a new fix. 5. **Questions** → Discord [#help](https://discord.com/channels/1456350064065904867/1459642797895319552) / [#users-helping-users](https://discord.com/channels/1456350064065904867/1459007081603403828)
