## For contributors

* Local preview: see [/development](/development)
* Quality bar: see [/documentation-contract](/documentation-contract)

## Common goals

* **Integrate via HTTP**: start with the OpenAPI spec and the relevant endpoint group.
* **Build realtime experiences**: read Concepts, then the Relay WebSocket protocol.
* **Change backend behavior**: update canonical contracts (OpenAPI and/or events) and run the
  drift checks before opening a PR.
