# Security Policy

ForgeFlow's detailed security model is documented in [`docs/SECURITY.md`](docs/SECURITY.md).

Report suspected vulnerabilities privately to `security@itworx.tech`. Do not publish Gitea tokens, SSH credentials, update-signing material, private server addresses, support bundles containing sensitive data or other operational secrets in a public issue.

For a useful report, include the affected ForgeFlow version/commit, component, minimal reproduction steps, expected and observed behaviour and security impact. Use sanitized or synthetic repository/server data whenever possible.

The current release model requires exact-commit verification, origin-constrained credential use, signed update manifests, redacted diagnostics and bounded deployment adapters. Changes must not silently weaken those guarantees.

Never commit Gitea tokens, SSH private keys, release-signing private keys, deployment credentials or local repository state. The packaged signing public key is intentionally public; private signing material must remain outside Git.
