Contributions increasingly arrive written by AI tooling, which is fine in itself, but a growing share of them are opened unread: whole-tree reformats around a five-line change, patches the author cannot explain, review replies that are themselves generated. State the three things that make a pull request reviewable - read the diff, run it on a ruTorrent you actually use, answer reviews yourself - and that master is the branch to target.

The download section still offered a develop tarball. That branch is retired; master is where work lands and a release is a tag on it.
