chore: tailor codex reviews and finish contribution templates - #19
Conversation
structured bug/feature/api-regression issue forms and a PR template that forces the info needed to actually review a change: version, repro, how-to-verify steps, and a sparkle/release checklist guarding the auto-update bricking rules in CLAUDE.md.

This is a solid, well-considered set of templates. A few observations: What's working well
Minor issues
Verdict: Ready to merge. Item 1 (Discussions) is the only thing worth double-checking before the templates go live — everything else is stylistic. |

Self-review pass on the diff. Things worth flagging before merge: Pre-flight caveats
Things I deliberately did not include
Risk Metadata only. Worst case: a typo in a template, fixable in one commit. Nothing here can affect Sparkle, the build, or auto-update. Recommend merging once Discussions + private security reporting are confirmed enabled. Generated by Claude Code |

Summary
Adds CodexIsland-specific review contracts alongside the previously unfinished PR and issue templates. AGENTS.md directs reviews through the affected app data flow and checks provider/account routing, reported quota windows, Enterprise credit units and limits, CLI-owned authentication, request spacing, durable history and deduplication, cost/currency meaning, native panel behavior, privacy, and existing Sparkle installations. Rules distinguish intended background refreshes and local cost history across CLI accounts from actual regressions.
The official Codex GitHub integration is already configured for all PRs and every push; its visible repository settings were verified. Automation is separate from the templates. Review guidance requires checking the reviewed commit against the latest head and distinguishing fixture/source evidence from live, installed, and released behavior. Review services do not replace CI or maintainer approval.
Bug, feature, and provider API issue forms use existing labels and ask for actionable context. Logs and API responses are optional and must be redacted. The chooser keeps blank issues for questions and removes links to disabled Discussions/private vulnerability reporting. The PR template requests verification results, limitations, and risks, with an accurate tag-triggered release checklist. Screenshots are explicitly required for UI changes, with before/after images for existing UI changes and an additional recording or GIF for interaction/animation changes. The checklist asks authors to confirm the screenshots are attached.
Verification
Risk
Repository metadata and review guidance only. App behavior, credentials, signing, version, release workflow, and installed app are unchanged. Review rules apply only to affected behavior and retain documented exceptions to reduce false positives.
