This repository contains the shared repository, contribution, release, and engineering standards for the Photon Circus GitHub organization.
Start with Photon Circus Repository Standards v0.1.
Unpublished peripheral drivers also follow the
Pre-ph-hil Peripheral Driver Profile.
The standards favor deterministic, bare-metal engineering; narrowly bounded responsibilities; honest evidence; and lifecycle-appropriate process. Existing repository and package names are grandfathered under v0.1.
Version 0.1.0 was adopted on 2026-08-11 UTC.
Changes to normative requirements are documented in CHANGELOG.md.
The read-only repository auditor collects Markdown and JSON evidence against machine-observable parts of the standard. It has no remediation mode or authority to change anything it flags.
The Peripheral Driver Bootstrap Intent records the authority boundary, independent derivation lanes, temporary-workspace model, and durable handoff expected from future local tooling. It records design intent only; the machinery and reusable templates do not yet exist.
