Inline comments:
In @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md:
- Around line 18-20: Replace the placeholder prerequisite entries in the
contributing guide with the actual required tools, supported versions, and
concrete installation instructions, preserving the existing prerequisite list
structure.
- Around line 40-41: Update the integration-test policy text in CONTRIBUTING.md
to use an accessible repository document or state directly that integration
tests should prefer real dependencies over mocks; remove the reference to
“maintainer’s memory” and retain the existing policy intent.
- Line 31: Update the command examples in the contributing guide to match the
recipes defined by the repository’s justfile: replace nonexistent setup,
test-unit, test-int, and test-prop commands with the available build, test,
lint, fmt, and fmt-check recipes, or add corresponding recipes if those commands
are required. Keep the documented setup and test workflow executable.
- Line 12: Update the usage link in CONTRIBUTING.md to reference
../docs/usage.adoc instead of ./usage.adoc, preserving the existing link text
and class.
- Around line 98-100: Update the ADR contribution instructions around the
template-copy step to require replacing all ADR-0001-specific metadata in the
new file, including the title, ADR number, revision date placeholder, status,
and related text, or make the copied template metadata-neutral while preserving
the required Context, Decision, Consequences, and Alternatives sections.
- Around line 104-110: Update the “Reporting issues” section to exclude security
vulnerabilities from the public action-trust-layers bug tracker, add a
private-reporting instruction linking to SECURITY.adoc, and explicitly tell
contributors not to disclose vulnerabilities in public issues; leave the
estate-wide concerns route unchanged.

Replace the placeholder prerequisites.
<tool 1>, <tool 2>, <version>, and <install instruction> are still template text. Contributors cannot determine the required toolchain or install it from this guide. Add the real tools, supported versions, and installation commands before merging.

Align the documented just recipes with the repository.
The repository’s justfile defines build, test, lint, fmt, and fmt-check, but not setup, test-unit, test-int, or test-prop. The commands at Lines 31, 37, 39, and 43 therefore fail before setup or tests run. Add the missing recipes, or document the existing recipes and actual test split.

Use an accessible source for the integration-test policy.
feedback_integration_tests_real_db in “maintainer’s memory” is not available to contributors. Link a repository document or state the required policy directly.

Update copied ADR metadata. The copied file retains ADR-0001, :status: ACCEPTED, and the 2026-MM-DD placeholder unless contributors update them. Use a metadata-neutral template, or require contributors to update the title, ADR number, revision date, status, and other ADR-0001-specific text.
