Contributing

Lightpanda accepts pull requests through GitHub.

Development

• Run the tests: make test
• Check formatting: zig fmt --check ./*.zig ./**/*.zig

See AGENTS.md for the full set of test, formatting, and code conventions (test filters, the leak-detection invariant, @import alias case, struct-init inference).

Skip the V8 source build

By default the build compiles V8 from source, which takes several minutes. Run make download-v8 once to fetch the matching prebuilt archive from the zig-v8-fork releases instead; later make build / make test pick it up automatically.

Before opening a PR

• Tests pass (make test).
• Formatting is clean (zig fmt --check ./*.zig ./**/*.zig).
• CLA signed (see below).

CLA

You have to sign our CLA during your first pull request process otherwise we're not able to accept your contributions.

The process signature uses the CLA assistant lite. You can see an example of the process in #303.
