- Personal attacks, name-calling, sustained hostility.
- Harassment, deliberate misgendering, slurs of any kind.
- Sharing someone's personal information without consent.
- Sexual or violent content in any project space.

The maintainer will review every report. Outcomes range from "misunderstanding cleared up, both sides apologized, done" to permanent project ban; the response depends on the situation.
The text is original but the underlying expectations align with the Contributor Covenant — if that's the document you're more familiar with, the substance is the same.
