Contributors should make reasonable efforts to ensure submissions:

Build successfully.
Follow project conventions.
Do not intentionally introduce security vulnerabilities.
Do not intentionally reduce system stability.
Include documentation where appropriate.
Include tests where practical.

Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

8. Security

If you discover a security vulnerability, you agree to report it privately through the designated security contact rather than publicly disclosing it before a fix is available.

Responsible disclosure helps protect community members and infrastructure.

9. Code Review

All contributions are subject to review.

Lyra Social Group may:

Request revisions.
Reject submissions.
Modify contributions.
Rewrite portions of submissions.

12. Moral Rights

To the extent permitted by applicable law, contributors agree not to assert moral rights in a manner that would prevent Lyra Social Group from:

Maintaining projects.
Refactoring code.
Editing documentation.
Modifying artwork.
Updating assets.
Discontinuing projects.

13. Removal Requests

Because contributions may become integrated into larger works, Lyra Social Group cannot guarantee that accepted contributions can later be removed.

Requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis but are not guaranteed.

This Agreement remains effective for contributions already submitted.

Ending your participation in a project does not revoke licenses previously granted under this Agreement.
