# Contributing
Thanks for helping. The quickest contributions:
- **A game works on the Frame?** In FramePort: the game's menu → **Share working config…** opens a prefilled issue
with its recipe. Accepted configs become built-in recipes.
- **Something doesn't work?** The game's menu → **Report a problem…** saves a diagnostics zip (personal data
removed) and opens a prefilled issue to attach it to.
## Development
```
uv sync --extra dev # Python 3.11+, uv (https://docs.astral.sh/uv/)
uv run frameport-gui # the app
uv run frameport --help # the command line
uv run pytest # tests (no headset or game files needed)
uv run ruff check . # lint
```
- Code and architecture: `CLAUDE.md`, `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md`; per-game symptoms and fixes: `docs/PLAYBOOK.md`.
- Interface wording: `docs/STYLE.md`. GUI texts go through `tr()`; after changing them run
`python scripts/i18n_extract.py`.
- Translations: see [Translating FramePort](#translating-frameport) below.
- New fixes are patch modules (`src/frameport/patches/`), with a triage signature (`catalog/triage.yaml`), a PLAYBOOK
row and a unit test.
- Native binaries in `artifacts/` are rebuilt with `python native/build.py` (downloads the NDK).
## Adding a tested game
Tested a game on the Steam Frame? The easiest way is in FramePort: open the game → **…** → **Share working config…**.
It opens a prefilled GitHub issue with the exact recipe; after review a workflow turns it into
`catalog/games/<package>.yaml`. Without the app: [working config form](https://github.com/spoopyghosty0/frameport/issues/new?template=working-config.yml). Something doesn't run: the game's
**Report a problem…** (diagnostics zip, personal data removed) or the [problem report form](https://github.com/spoopyghosty0/frameport/issues/new?template=bug-report.yml).
After catalog changes, regenerate the games list: `python scripts/compat_list.py`.
## Translating FramePort
The app's texts (screens, help, patch and setting descriptions) can be translated; the command line, logs and
diagnostics stay English. No programming needed:
1. Copy `src/frameport/locales/template.json` to `src/frameport/locales/<code>.json`, where `<code>` is the language
code (`de`, `fr`, `pt`, `ja`, …).
2. Add `"_language": "<the language's own name>"` (e.g. `"Deutsch"`); it's shown in Settings → Language.
3. Fill in the values. Each key is the English text; leave a value empty to keep the English text. Plural entries
have a list value: `["<one>", "<other>"]`. Keep `{placeholders}` such as `{title}` or `{n}` exactly as they are,
and keep `…`, `·` and line breaks where the English has them.
4. Try it: `uv run frameport-gui`, choose the language in Settings → Language, restart FramePort.
5. Open a pull request with the file. When the English texts change, `python scripts/i18n_extract.py` refreshes the
template; new texts then show in English until they're translated.
Wording rules for English (and a guide for tone) are in `docs/STYLE.md`.
## Ground rules
- Use only games you own. Contributions that help bypass DRM, licence or entitlement checks, or that add game files,
are not accepted.
- Never commit personal data (IP addresses, user names, home paths, Steam IDs).
- By contributing you agree to license your work under GPL-3.0-only.
