dtourolle 6897b290ed docs: add the governance and CI-operations files the project never had
The repo had no SECURITY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, code of conduct, or issue
and PR templates. For a client that handles Jellyfin credentials and
ships signed binaries, the missing one that actually matters is
SECURITY.md: there was no stated way to report a vulnerability
privately, so the only available channel was the public tracker.

CONTRIBUTING.md documents the gates as they now stand, including the
three ratchets and which direction each is allowed to move, and the two
rules that surprise people: bug fixes start with a failing test, and
Jellyfin's taxonomy stays in Rust.

The bug template asks the three playback questions -- streaming or
downloaded, transcoding or direct, music or video -- because those
answers decide which of several very different code paths a report is
about, and reconstructing them over several round trips is most of the
cost of a playback bug report.

docs/build/ci-operations.md is the missing operations manual: how to
change the builder image and in what order (image pushed before the
workflow that names it, or CI breaks), why tags are dated rather than
:latest or per-SHA, what each secret is for, and what losing the updater
private key would mean -- installed desktop clients only accept payloads
signed by the key matching the public key they shipped with, so losing it
means everyone reinstalls by hand.

Disk exhaustion on the runner is documented as a manual check rather than
a scheduled job. A daily job would occupy the only slot on a single-slot
runner and pull the whole builder image to run `df` -- and `df` inside a
container does not reliably describe the host's disk, so it would spend
real build capacity reporting a number that might be wrong. What the doc
records instead is the part that is actually hard to rediscover: the
symptoms (cargo dying mid-link, docker refusing to pull, actions/cache
quietly not saving) and that `docker volume prune` needs `-a` to touch
named volumes, which is how it filled up unnoticed.

Two things in these docs are stated plainly because they are true and
were not written down anywhere: without branch protection every gate in
the pipeline is advisory, and the Gitea instance -- canonical remote,
signing secrets, registry, runner -- is not backed up by anything in this
repository.

JellyTau
</h1>
A cross-platform Jellyfin client built with Tauri, SvelteKit, and TypeScript.
Business logic lives in a Rust backend; a UI-rich Svelte frontend handles
presentation and talks to it over Tauri's IPC. Targets Linux (libmpv) and
Android (ExoPlayer).
## Getting Started
This project uses [bun](https://bun.sh) as its package manager.
```bash
# Activate the Rust environment (fish shell)
source "$HOME/.cargo/env.fish"
# Install dependencies
bun install
# Run in development
bun run tauri dev
# Type-check the frontend
bun run check
# Build for Linux
bun run tauri build
# Build for Android
bun run tauri android build
```
For the full set of build, test, and Android helper scripts, see
[scripts/README.md](scripts/README.md).

## Contributing
[CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) covers the setup, the gates a change has to
pass, and the two rules that catch people out (bug fixes start with a failing
test; Jellyfin's taxonomy stays in Rust). Please also read the
[Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
Found a security problem? Do not open an issue — see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).
## Verifying a download
Every release publishes `SHA256SUMS` covering all of its artifacts, plus an SBOM
of what went into the build:
```bash
sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS
```
Desktop builds update themselves from Settings → Updates, verifying each payload
against JellyTau's signing key before installing. Android installs are handled by
the system installer, so the app links to the releases page instead.
