- Scam warnings: never share seed phrase, mnemonic, private key or recovery file.
- Stale project notices: all project links marked "verify before launch" must stay non-clickable until reviewed.

## 9. Contributor Spotlight

Name or handle: Launch desk placeholder

Contribution: turned ErgoCommunity.org into a limited-preview contribution hub with source-backed work, project states, safety gates and proof receipts.

Why it mattered: the portal now routes attention toward useful work instead of generic community engagement.

Source: `index.html`, `app.js`, `SAGE_INTEGRATION_BRIEF.md`

## 10. Before Publishing

- Replace placeholder owners with real names or handles.
- Confirm every public link and every high-risk category.
- Replace internal-only source references with public URLs once deployed.
- Add at least one real contributor spotlight with consent.
