Standard revisions

Clarifications or changes to normative requirements in the ACR Standard. Open a GitHub issue that cites the section, explains the problem and proposes wording. The maintainers review proposals in the open; accepted changes are released in a new versioned edition of the Standard, never silently edited into the current one.

Reference code contributions

Tests, examples, SDK and control plane fixes in the reference implementation. Open a pull request with the tests you ran. Code changes do not change the Standard's requirements, and the reference implementation is not the normative authority.

Three versions are tracked separately: the specification is v1.0.2, the published software release is v1.1.3, and newer audited fixes live on the main branch and are not yet in a release.
