This repository is public and told a would-be contributor nothing: no CONTRIBUTING.md, no contribution section in the README, and no org-level default to fall back on.

The substance is the one rule that actually matters here. A demo prints claims about what was enforced, denied or verified, and a reader believes them, so the script has to check the thing it claims and fail loudly when the check fails. We shipped the opposite once already: demo-06 printed gate released key: False under a heading saying the opposite. That is now written down as the bar for a merge, along with exiting non-zero on a failed assertion so CI catches it, and adding any new demo to ci.yml so it actually runs.

Every claim in the file was checked against the repo rather than assumed: requirements.txt exists and is what the README installs, tests/ exists, and ci.yml runs eight demos.

Found while registering the nine agentrust-io repos on bestpractices.dev. Six are already at a passing badge; this was the gap standing between demos and the same.

This repo is public and told a would-be contributor nothing: no CONTRIBUTING.md,
no contribution section in the README, and no org-level default to fall back on.

The substance is the one rule that matters here. A demo prints claims about what
was enforced, denied or verified, and a reader believes them, so the script must
check the thing it claims and fail loudly when the check fails. We have shipped
the opposite once already: demo-06 printed "gate released key: False" under a
heading saying the opposite. That is now written down as the bar for a merge,
along with exiting non-zero on a failed assertion so CI catches it, and adding
any new demo to ci.yml so it actually runs.

Claims in the file were checked against the repo: requirements.txt exists and is
what the README installs, tests/ exists, and ci.yml runs eight demos.

Also clears the OpenSSF Best Practices criteria for contribution information,
which is what surfaced the gap.
