# Contributing to House Plan
Thanks for your interest! The project is one HACS package: a storage **integration**
(`custom_components/houseplan/`, Python) and a **Lovelace card** (`src/`, TypeScript + Lit).
## Changelog
User-visible changes go into **both** changelogs in the same commit:
`docs/CHANGELOG.md` (English) and `docs/CHANGELOG.ru.md` (Russian). Entries
older than v1.42.0 exist only in the English file — no need to backfill them.
## Where to ask
Not sure whether something is a bug, or just want to discuss an idea before
writing code? The **[Telegram chat @ha_houseplan](https://t.me/ha_houseplan)**
is the quickest route to the author and other users. Bugs and concrete feature
requests still belong in [issues](https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card/issues).
## Five-minute setup
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card && cd houseplan-card
npm ci # frontend toolchain
npm run typecheck # tsc --noEmit (strict)
npm test # node:test — pure logic, i18n parity, tap-action security
npm run build # tsc + rollup → dist/houseplan-card.js
pip install pytest voluptuous && python -m pytest tests_backend -q # pure backend tests
```
The HA-harness backend tests (`tests_backend/test_ha_*.py`) need Python ≥3.13 and
`pytest-homeassistant-custom-component home-assistant-frontend`; CI runs them on
every push — locally they are skipped when `homeassistant` is not importable.
## Ground rules
- **Docs in the same commit**: CHANGELOG entry for user-visible changes;
`docs/STATUS.md` for state changes; `docs/DEVELOPMENT.md` for new gotchas.
- Every UI string goes through `src/i18n/<lang>.json` (tests enforce en/ru key parity).
Adding a language = adding one JSON file + registering it in `src/i18n.ts`.
- The built card must be committed in sync: `cp dist/houseplan-card.js
custom_components/houseplan/frontend/` (CI compares them byte-for-byte).
- Tap actions have a security model (locks/alarms never toggle from the plan) —
see `resolveTapAction` in `src/logic.ts`; don't weaken it.
- Follow the Integration Quality Scale where applicable —
`custom_components/houseplan/quality_scale.yaml` tracks the self-assessment.
## Architecture
Start with `docs/ARCHITECTURE.md` (data model, WS API, coordinate system) and
`docs/STATUS.md` (current state). Release: bump the version in `package.json`,
`manifest.json`, `const.py`, `CARD_VERSION`, tag `vX.Y.Z`, publish a GitHub release —
the workflow attaches the card bundle.
