Thank you for contributing to Chat2DB Rust.

Development setup

Clone the repository with its pinned Community submodule:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/OtterMind/Chat2DB-Rust.git
cd Chat2DB-Rust

The required toolchains are Rust 1.88 or newer, Java 17, Node.js 22.12 or newer within the Node 22 release line, and npm 10.9.7.

Keep changes focused and include tests for changed behavior. Run the complete local verification gate before submission:

make verify

When changing the external API contract, regenerate and verify the checked-in OpenAPI and TypeScript artifacts:

make generate-contracts
make check-contracts

Do not commit credentials, local database files, generated build output, or driver JARs. JDBC drivers remain external verified driver packs.
