Contributing

Keep changes focused and preserve Colibri's dependency-free default CPU path.

Local checks

Run the lightweight checks locally:

make check

make -C c check remains available for scripts that already run from the engine directory.

This performs one portable CPU build, C unit tests, and Python standard-library tests. It does not download a model or require CUDA.

CUDA changes should additionally be checked on a CUDA-capable Linux host:

make -C c cuda-test CUDA_ARCH=native

Benchmark reports should include the commit, exact commands, hardware and storage details, warm-up policy, run count, and median throughput.
