main. Linear commits, no merge commits. - Every bug fix includes a regression test in the same commit.
- All user-facing strings in
locales/. No hardcoded English in templates. - No hardcoded
aria-labelon icon-only controls — etherpad's html10n auto-populatesaria-labelfrom the localized string when (a) the element has adata-l10n-idand (b) no author-suppliedaria-labelis present. Adding a hardcoded Englisharia-labelblocks that and leaves it untranslated. (Seeetherpad-lite/src/static/js/vendors/html10n.ts:665-678.) - No nested interactive elements (no
<button>inside<a>). - LLM/Agent contributions are explicitly welcomed by maintainers.
