Small checkpoints. Explicit evidence.

Trestle is being designed around human-directed agentic engineering: define contracts, implement coherent slices, attack failure modes, and preserve an auditable handover.

Before contributing

1. Read the repository handover and task-relevant contracts in full.
2. Inspect status and preserve unrelated work.
3. Identify the user-visible contract and failure behavior.
4. Define verification before broad implementation.

Current state

The public contribution workflow and code of conduct have not yet been finalized.
