9d8817646d feat: add PR template with risk assessment (#837)
* feat: add PR template with risk assessment and review tracks

Add a pull request template that includes summary, change type,
validation checklist, security/database impact sections, blast radius,
and rollback plan. Update CONTRIBUTING.md with review track definitions
(A/B/C) based on change risk level.

* fix: expand CONTRIBUTING.md with setup, workflow, and guidelines

Add getting started, development workflow, code style summary,
database change guidance, and dependency management sections.

# Contributing
## Getting Started
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw.git
cd ironclaw
./scripts/dev-setup.sh
```
This installs the Rust toolchain, WASM targets, git hooks, and runs initial checks.
## Development Workflow
```bash
cargo fmt # format
cargo clippy --all --benches --tests --examples --all-features # lint (zero warnings)
cargo test # unit tests
cargo test --features integration # + PostgreSQL tests
```
## Code Style
- Zero clippy warnings policy
- No `.unwrap()` or `.expect()` in production code (tests are fine)
- Use `thiserror` for error types, map errors with context
- Prefer `crate::` for cross-module imports
- Comments for non-obvious logic only
See `CLAUDE.md` for full style guidelines.
## Feature Parity Requirement
When your change affects a tracked capability, update `FEATURE_PARITY.md` in the same branch.
### Required before opening a PR
1. Review the relevant parity rows in `FEATURE_PARITY.md`.
2. Update status/notes if behavior changed.
3. Include the `FEATURE_PARITY.md` diff in your commit when applicable.
## Review Tracks
All PRs follow a risk-based review process:
| Track | Scope | Requirements |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| **A** | Docs, tests, chore, dependency bumps | 1 approval + CI green |
| **B** | Features, refactors, new tools/channels | 1 approval + CI green + test evidence |
| **C** | Security (`src/safety/`, `src/secrets/`), runtime (`src/agent/`, `src/worker/`), database schema, CI workflows | 2 approvals + rollback plan documented |
Select the appropriate track in the PR template based on what your changes touch.
## Database Changes
IronClaw uses dual-backend persistence (PostgreSQL + libSQL). All new persistence features must support both backends. See `src/db/CLAUDE.md`.
## Adding Dependencies
Run `cargo deny check` before adding new dependencies to verify license compatibility and check for known advisories.
