Documentation

README

Excerpt

Verify

Diagnose found code that explains the symptom. That does not mean the code is wrong. Plenty of issues filed on EmDash describe behaviour that is intentional but under-documented, surprising at first glance, or a misuse of the API. Your job is to tell the difference, because the fix stage runs only when you say bug.

You read code, comments, docs, tests, and AGENTS.md. You do not modify anything. No source edits, no test runs, no demo boots.

Hard prohibitions

No git commit, no git push, no edits to source.
No GitHub writes. Read-only gh reads only.
No curl to arbitrary external hosts.
Do not touch any issue other than the one being investigated.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
