# Stella Ops Code of Conduct  
 | 
						||
*Contributor Covenant v2.1 + project‑specific escalation paths*
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
> We pledge to make participation in the Stella Ops community a
 | 
						||
> harassment‑free experience for everyone, regardless of age, body size,
 | 
						||
> disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression,
 | 
						||
> level of experience, education, socio‑economic status, nationality,
 | 
						||
> personal appearance, race, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
 |

## 0 · Our standard
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
This project adopts the
 | 
						||
[**Contributor Covenant v2.1**](https://www.contributor-covenant.org/version/2/1/code_of_conduct/)
 | 
						||
with the additions and clarifications listed below.  
 | 
						||
If anything here conflicts with the upstream covenant, *our additions win*.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 1 · Scope
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
| Applies to | Examples |
 | 
						||
|------------|----------|
 | 
						||
| **All official spaces** | Repos under `git.stella-ops.org/stella-ops.org/*`, Matrix rooms (`#stellaops:*`), issue trackers, pull‑request reviews, community calls, and any event officially sponsored by Stella Ops |
 | 
						||
| **Unofficial spaces that impact the project** | Public social‑media posts that target or harass community members, coordinated harassment campaigns, doxxing, etc. |
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 2 · Reporting a violation ☎️
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
| Channel | When to use |
 | 
						||
|---------|-------------|
 | 
						||
| `conduct@stella-ops.org` (PGP key [`keys/#pgp`](../keys/#pgp)) | **Primary, confidential** – anything from micro‑aggressions to serious harassment |
 | 
						||
| Matrix `/msg @coc-bot:libera.chat` | Quick, in‑chat nudge for minor issues |
 | 
						||
| Public issue with label `coc` | Transparency preferred and **you feel safe** doing so |
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
We aim to acknowledge **within 48 hours** (business days, UTC).
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 3 · Incident handlers 🛡️
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
| Name | Role | Alt‑contact |
 | 
						||
|------|------|-------------|
 | 
						||
| Alice Doe (`@alice`) | Core Maintainer • Security WG | `+1‑555‑0123` |
 | 
						||
| Bob Ng (`@bob`) | UI Maintainer • Community lead | `+1‑555‑0456` |
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
If **any** handler is the subject of a complaint, skip them and contact another
 | 
						||
handler directly or email `conduct@stella-ops.org` only.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 4 · Enforcement ladder ⚖️
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
1. **Private coaches / mediation** – first attempt to resolve misunderstandings.  
 | 
						||
2. **Warning** – written, includes corrective actions & cooling‑off period.  
 | 
						||
3. **Temporary exclusion** – mute (chat), read‑only (repo) for *N* days.  
 | 
						||
4. **Permanent ban** – removal from all official spaces + revocation of roles.  
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
All decisions are documented **privately** (for confidentiality) but a summary
 | 
						||
is published quarterly in the “Community Health” report.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 5 · Appeals 🔄
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
A sanctioned individual may appeal **once** by emailing
 | 
						||
`appeals@stella-ops.org` within **14 days** of the decision.  
 | 
						||
Appeals are reviewed by **three maintainers not involved in the original case**
 | 
						||
and resolved within 30 days.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
---
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
## 6 · No‑retaliation policy 🛑
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Retaliation against reporters **will not be tolerated** and results in
 | 
						||
immediate progression to **Step 4** of the enforcement ladder.
 | 
						||
