Contributing: Issues Only, No PRs

VMark is vibe-coded — written entirely by AI under human supervision. We welcome issues (bug reports, feature requests) but cannot safely merge external PRs.

When you file an issue, AI fixes it with full context of the project's conventions, test suite, and architecture.
