3AvisD adae1b8bed docs: clarify the source-audit scope
State that scripts/validate.py checks revision format, patch existence and
patch parsing but does not verify applicability to pinned revisions. Point
patch changes at the separate prepare.py --check-only workflow.

Contributing

Thank you for improving darling-lol. The project is an unofficial interoperability effort; contributions must keep it in that scope.

Before you start

  • Read docs/COMPLIANCE.md and docs/INTEROPERABILITY.md.
  • Do not add Riot client files, game binaries, game assets, logos, screenshots, gameplay audio/video, account data, tokens or credentials.
  • Do not add DRM/anti-cheat/authentication circumvention, telemetry spoofing, credential handling, or gameplay automation. Changes that present the project as an evasion tool are out of scope.
  • Keep existing copyright, license and attribution notices. New third-party code or assets need a license and provenance note in the pull request.

License of contributions

  • Original integration tooling (scripts, tools, tests, docs and project artwork) is licensed under GPL-3.0-only.
  • Patches to upstream components are licensed under the license of the upstream file(s) they modify. If a patch touches files under different licenses, each hunk keeps the license of its target file.
  • By submitting a contribution, you confirm that you have the right to submit it and agree to license it under the applicable terms above.

Developer Certificate of Origin

Sign off every commit:

git commit -s -m "area: short description"

The sign-off certifies the Developer Certificate of Origin 1.1 (https://developercertificate.org/): you created the contribution or have the right to submit it under the project's license, and you understand that the contribution and its sign-off are public and may be redistributed.

Checks

Run the source audit and the relevant tests before opening a pull request:

python3 scripts/validate.py
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_*.py'

The audit checks tracked source, rendered Python/shell, pinned revision format, patch existence and patch parsing. It does not check patch applicability to the pinned revisions. Do not bypass it; fix the source or document the exception in the pull request.

Pull requests

  • Keep changes focused and describe the compatibility problem and the fix.
  • Mention any change that touches platform identity, sandbox/AMFI probes, anti-cheat or account risk. Do not describe it as stealth, evasion, spoofing or an anti-cheat bypass.
  • If you change a patch, run python3 scripts/prepare.py --check-only against an existing pinned source checkout to verify that it applies to the pinned revision.
  • If you change a user-facing variable, keep the old name as a deprecated alias for at least one release.
