Development Principles

CeloHT development follows several core principles:

Security First

Never commit:

• Private keys
• Seed phrases
• API secrets
• Database credentials
• Authentication secrets

Tests

New functionality should include appropriate tests.

Type Safety

TypeScript projects should use strict type checking where applicable.

Documentation

Significant behavior changes should be documented.

No Fake Functionality

A feature should never be presented as production-ready when it is only:

• Planned
• Mocked
• Demonstration-only
• Testnet-only
• Specification-stage

Pull Requests

Contributors should:

1. Understand the repository
2. Review existing documentation
3. Create an appropriate branch
4. Implement the change
5. Add or update tests
6. Run required checks
7. Update documentation
8. Open a pull request
