# Contributing to motorbridge

Thank you for your interest in contributing.

## Development Setup

1. Install Rust stable toolchain.
2. Clone the repository.
3. Run:

```bash theme={null}
cargo check
cargo test
```

## Branching and PRs

* Use short feature branches (`feat/...`, `fix/...`, `docs/...`).
* Open pull requests against `main`.
* Keep PRs focused and small when possible.

## Commit Message Style

Recommended format:

* `feat: ...`
* `fix: ...`
* `docs: ...`
* `refactor: ...`
* `chore: ...`

## Before Submitting

Please ensure:

* `cargo check` passes
* `cargo test` passes
* Documentation is updated if behavior changed
* New behavior has at least basic tests where applicable

## Vendor Integration Rules

* Do not change `motor_core` for vendor-specific protocol details.
* Implement new vendors as separate crates (e.g. `motor_vendor_xxx`).
* Keep ABI backward compatible when possible.
