Issue Templates¶

Purpose¶

The .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ directory defines structured intake forms rendered by GitHub whenever a new issue is opened against the repository. Instead of a blank text box, GitHub converts the YAML definitions in this folder into an actual form with required fields.

Files¶

bug_report.yml¶

Renders a structured bug report form collecting: - Affected variant (lite / balanced / power / base) - Image tag or version - Platform (amd64 / arm64 / both) - Description of the observed behavior - Expected behavior - Additional context

feature_request.yml¶

Renders a structured feature request form collecting: - Target variant - Requested addition or change - The debugging use case the request solves

Why This Matters¶

Without these templates, every issue reporter starts from an empty box. Reports arrive with vague titles and no reproduction context, forcing back-and-forth clarification before triage can even begin.

Required fields (required: true) block submission until filled, guaranteeing that every bug report already contains the variant, version, and platform needed to reproduce the problem.
