        > [!CAUTION]
        > **Issues opened directly in this repository are automatically closed and locked.**
        >
        > All bug reports must first be triaged in the [Discussions](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/discussions/new?category=issue-triage) section. If a maintainer confirms that your report is a genuine bug, **they will create an Issue on your behalf** — you do not need to (and should not) open one yourself.
        >
        > This policy exists because a large volume of unverified, AI-generated bug reports has been consuming maintainer time that would otherwise be spent fixing real problems. Triaging in Discussions first ensures that every Issue tracked here represents a confirmed bug worth investigating.
        >
        > **What to do instead:**
        > - Suspected bug? → [Start a Discussion in *Issue Triage*](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/discussions/new?category=issue-triage)
        > - Question or support? → [Start a Discussion in *Q&A*](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/discussions/new?category=q-a)
        > - Feature request? → [Start a Discussion in *Feature Requests & Ideas*](https://github.com/stalwartlabs/stalwart/discussions/new?category=feature-requests-and-ideas)
        >
        > If you proceed and submit this form anyway, your issue will be closed automatically and a comment will be posted explaining this policy.
