# Contributing to Pharos Platform
This section is for developers and operators working on the platform. For
day-to-day use, start with the [user guides](/guides.md).
## Develop and test
- [Contribution guide](/reference/CONTRIBUTING.md): working rules and documentation scope.
- [Development and dev boxes](/development.md): prepare your environment.
- [Testing](/reference/TESTING.md): choose checks and retain qualification evidence.
- [Combined PR qualification](/reference/docs/pr-integration.md): how `integration/current` is assembled.
## Understand the implementation
- [Architecture and ownership](/architecture.md): service and context boundaries.
- [Architecture learning path](/learn.md): DDD, ports, CQRS and reliable delivery.
- [Context catalogue](/reference/docs/context-catalogue.md): all registered contexts and their owners.
- [Decisions](/reference/docs/decisions/README.md): accepted choices and their rationale.
- [Compatibility and historical references](/compatibility.md): the retained application and earlier designs.
## Operate and maintain
- [Distributed setup](/reference/docs/distributed-setup.md) and [releases](/reference/docs/platform-releases.md).
- [Documentation maintenance](/reference/docs/README.md), including build provenance and publication.
- [API and experimental MCP](/reference/services/api/services/mcp/README.md).
The reviewed integration revision is recorded in
`docs/integration-baseline.json`.
The [build record](/build.md) identifies the exact source used for this site.
An implementation, a passing fixture and a qualified deployment are separate
forms of evidence. Keep feature-specific status in the owning context's guide.
