# Code of Conduct

## Our pledge

We want this project to be a welcoming, respectful space for everyone who wants to contribute — regardless of background, identity, or experience level.

## Expected behavior

- Be kind and patient. Assume good faith.
- Critique code and ideas, not people.
- Welcome questions, including basic ones.
- Acknowledge differing viewpoints and accept constructive feedback gracefully.
- Take responsibility for mistakes; learn and move on.

## Unacceptable behavior

- Personal attacks, insults, or demeaning language.
- Harassment of any kind, in public or private channels.
- Discriminatory language or behavior.
- Publishing others' private information without consent.
- Disruptive behavior that derails productive discussion.
- Any conduct a reasonable person would consider inappropriate in a professional setting.

## Scope

This Code of Conduct applies to all project spaces — issues, pull requests, discussions, commit messages, and any other communication tied to the project. It also applies when an individual is representing the project in public spaces.

## Enforcement

If you experience or witness behavior that violates this Code of Conduct, please report it via [GitHub Security Advisories](https://github.com/offload-project/laravel-waitlist/security/advisories/new) (which supports private reporting) or by opening a private channel with a maintainer.

Maintainers will review reports promptly and respond with appropriate action, which may include:

- A private warning
- A temporary ban from project spaces
- A permanent ban from project spaces

Reports will be handled with discretion. The reporter's identity will be kept confidential unless they choose otherwise.

## Maintainer responsibilities

Maintainers are responsible for clarifying standards, responding to reports fairly, and applying enforcement consistently. Maintainers who do not uphold this Code of Conduct in good faith may face consequences as determined by other maintainers.

## Attribution

This Code of Conduct is inspired by the [Contributor Covenant](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/), adapted to be concise for this project.
