New Studio development is consolidated in Core, while this repository still directs contributors to its own main and issue tracker. Add a prominent README notice and update CONTRIBUTING to point new work to Core, retaining source attribution and the existing 3.8/3.9 maintenance procedure.

Refs elsa-workflows/elsa-core#8676; part of elsa-workflows/elsa-core#8216.

Nonpublishing merge: wait for all exact-head PR checks and independent review, then use a normal merge pinned to the approved SHA with [skip ci] only in the final merge-commit subject. This follows the existing source catch-up method and suppresses the new push-triggered Packages publisher. Do not add a skip marker to the PR head or bypass required PR checks. Verify the actual merge parents/tree/subject and absence of Packages runs afterward. No workflows, support policy, publishing authority, source issues/PRs or archive settings change.

Validation: focused documentation, link-target and diff checks; ordinary PR CI and independent exact-head review are tracked below. No new runtime behavior is introduced.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The README and CONTRIBUTING.md direct new Studio development, issues, and pull requests to Elsa Core. They also state that existing 3.8/3.9 maintenance procedures and release branches remain unchanged.

Changes

Studio Contribution Routing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document Studio contribution routing README.md, CONTRIBUTING.md	The README and contribution guide direct new Studio development and related contributions to Elsa Core. They retain references to original issues, pull requests, and contributor history, and state that existing 3.8/3.9 maintenance procedures remain unchanged.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 36a48

Do not merge until cutover authorization: a documentation-only merge to main starts Feedz publication jobs, and contributors without Core issue access cannot use the documented issue-reporting path.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 36a48

New-development contributions move to Core while maintenance stays here, without changing runtime behavior or permissions. Merging still invokes the existing package-publication process, so the stated cutover authorization remains necessary.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The changed contribution path affects where people submit new work, not runtime callers, tenant access, credentials, or machine-to-machine permissions. The separate publication exposure remains the existing source-repository Feedz publishing path.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — The cross-repository transition is a documented contribution-process boundary, not an implemented identity or authorization transition. The diff does not change repository access controls or publishing configuration; Core's effective controls are outside the inspected scope.

Elsa 3 Code Review: APPROVE + HIGH @ 36a48d8

Independent review by a separate Sol 6.1 High reviewer, relayed by the lead; the patch author did not review its own work.

Only README.md and CONTRIBUTING.md change. The new-development route points to actual Core product/contribution/register paths on main8802a883d6069d689d110008c904787b3b691042, preserving source attribution and the existing3.8/3.9 maintenance procedure. README is the exact prior content plus the notice. CONTRIBUTING changes are limited to the notice and scope/routing wording. Exact byte transformations, clean state and diff checks passed. No actionable findings.

This approval covers the exact documentation patch. Required CI and lead integration checks remain separate. A normal source-main merge triggers unchanged Feedz publishers; the merge hold remains until a verified nonpublishing execution method or separately authorized operational action is established. No publication, settings or archival authorization is inferred.

Retained independent report SHA-256: dd9d307840bacad3833a52e51bfde2994428d135d52caa32894a5b2756fa8ed4. Static docs/source/link-target review only; no runtime or package proof claimed.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Low impact] No actionable defect was found in the documentation changes, but the PR must remain unmerged until the publication-safe cutover is explicitly authorized, as required by sfmskywalker.

Summary

Routes new Studio development to Core without changing runtime code.

• Adds a prominent notice to README.md.
• Updates CONTRIBUTING.md with Core destinations and instructions to retain source links and contributor attribution.
• Explicitly preserves existing 3.8/3.9 maintenance procedures and release branches.
• The Core Studio directory, contribution guide, pull-request page, and source handoff register were reachable. The issue link preserved the correct Core destination through GitHub's sign-in boundary; authenticated rendering was not checked.
• sfmskywalker acknowledged that merging documentation still triggers publication and requires this PR to remain unmerged until the publication-safe cutover is explicitly authorized. This PR does not change publishing.

T-Rex validation blocked

The destination checks completed, but uploading their script and observed output was blocked: no artifact-upload facility or configured upload destination was available, including on retry. The evidence remains in local files; external upload is not confirmed.
