Privacy and Public Data

Privacy and Public Data

pi-steel is a public repository. Treat every committed file, Git object, issue, pull request, wiki page, release note, and demo as public.

Never publish

• completed company profiles or internal business context;
• customer, vendor, employee, project, bid, payroll, or contract information;
• live pricing, margins, commercial terms, private contacts, or credentials;
• generated takeoffs, RFQs, spreadsheets, PDFs, DXFs, or output directories;
• source drawings, specifications, exports, or screenshots from real work.

Safe examples

Use invented names, synthetic dimensions, synthetic dates, and repository fixtures. Do not "anonymize" real business data and assume it is safe; create a new synthetic example instead.

Checks

npm run privacy:check
npm run privacy:history
npm run pack:check

The current-tree scan does not replace the history audit. Deleting a sensitive file in a later commit does not remove it from reachable Git history.

Read the repository's PUBLIC_DATA_POLICY.md for the complete contribution contract.
