Research direction

Start with CONTRIBUTING.md to follow the project's existing contribution guidance, then inspect the repository root for its current templates. Add bug report and board-error issue templates, a PR template covering tests and README updates, and SECURITY.md with private vulnerability reporting instructions. Done means all four documents capture the requested details, including the runner's API key and egress risks.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

documentation good first issue launch
  • Bug report template: prompt, agent, expected vs got, board.py and .etchwork/events.jsonl if shareable (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
  • Board-came-out-wrong template: same, plus the fab and the DRC output.
  • PR template: tests run, README updated.
  • SECURITY.md: how to report a vulnerability privately. The runner handles API keys and egress, so this matters.
