+# Support
+
+Use the following routes so questions and reports land in the right place.
+
+## Public Help
+
+- Bug reports: open a GitHub issue using the bug report template.
+- Feature requests: open a GitHub issue using the feature request template.
+- Contribution questions: start with `README.md`, `CODE_DOCUMENTATION.md`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and `ROADMAP.md`.
+
+## Sensitive Reports
+
+- Security issues: follow `SECURITY.md` and avoid posting exploit details in public issues.
+- Code of conduct concerns: follow `CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md`.
+
+## Maintainer Contact Notes
+
+- This repository currently routes most public support through GitHub issues and documentation.
+- If you need a private maintainer response and the repository hosting platform exposes private vulnerability reporting, use that path first.
+- If private vulnerability reporting is not available, open a minimal public issue requesting a private contact channel and do not include sensitive details.
