- The PR description says this change “closes #8414”, but #8414 is a pull request and GitHub’s closing-keyword automation only closes issues. Merging this PR will therefore leave the TypeScript PR open; please close #8414 explicitly or update the description so it does not claim an automatic closure.
This repository is dedicated to the canonical .NET and Python implementations of
Microsoft Agent Framework. Microsoft contributors outside the product team should
engage with the maintainers before submitting pull requests that add new language
implementations or before starting a new Microsoft-owned repository for another
language.

Scope: full PR (1 commit(s)): 844f78cd50f2
Model: gpt-5.6-sol-fast
Overview
This PR adds a contributor policy that keeps this repository focused on the canonical .NET and Python implementations, requires Microsoft contributors outside the product team to engage maintainers before starting another implementation, and directs external contributors toward independently maintained repositories. Existing contribution rules require discussion before substantial work, and maintainer acceptance, code ownership, and area-owner signoff guard what enters the repository. No Critical, High, or Medium defect is established by the documentation change.
Reviewed the supplied pull-request change set across correctness, security/reliability, architecture, and failure behavior.
No publishable findings remained after source verification for this scope.
