Do not open public issues or pull requests containing credentials, tokens, PHI/PII, MIMIC-derived row-level data, annotation workbooks, generated debug logs, or unpublished manuscript drafts.

Report security or data-exposure concerns privately to the repository maintainer.

Only the latest public release snapshot is supported for security and data-hygiene fixes.

• .env and credential files are ignored and must remain local.
• MIMIC tabular data/, Drafts/, Results/, artifacts/, debug/, outputs/, tmp/, and Legacy Code/ are ignored in public releases.
• Generated manuscript outputs should be distributed only as release assets after content and disclosure review.
