Where questions, bugs, feature ideas, scripture-fidelity concerns, security reports and design decisions each go, and who reviews what.

| I want to… | Go to |
|---|---|
| understand why something is the way it is | the ADRs — every decision that shaped the project, with its context and consequences |
| find the rule for a change I am making | Engineering invariants first; then the glossary for a term |
| report a bug in the site, the API or a tool | a bug report |
| propose a feature | a feature request |
| say that a verse, heading, numeral or Ang looks wrong | a scripture fidelity concern — never a code change; it is routed to a Granthi or scholar |
| report a security problem | email support@gurbanisoul.com (SECURITY); never a public issue |
| ask how to do something in this repository | open a discussion on the pull request or issue you are working on; the owner reads every one |
| change how we work (branching, gates, tooling) | propose an ADR in a pull request (docs/adr/NNNN-title.md, status proposed) |
Who reviews what
Every change is reviewed by the code owner (.github/CODEOWNERS). Some paths are listed there
explicitly because a mistake in them reaches the scripture or the apps: the dataset pin
(dataset.lock.json), the golden contract (contract/), the Roman fold (webapp/romannorm.py),
the verifier (webapp/verify.py) and the CI configuration (.github/). Expect a slower, closer
review on those.
Scripture questions are not answered by engineers. The project keeps a scholar review for anything that changes how the text is extracted, displayed or explained; the answer protocol in sggs-data says how a quotation may be shown and how explanation must be labelled.
Company and product names
The company is Algorythmos Pty Ltd; the app is Gurbani Soul; the website and this wiki are the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji — Knowledge Base. The scripture is always cited as Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji · Ang N; “Gurbani Soul” names the app, never the text. Brand & domains has the rest.
