We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project. However, please note our current temporary policy below.

> **Temporary Pause on External Contributions**

> AX is currently undergoing a significant architectural redesign, and the codebase is highly unstable. To ensure we can focus on stabilizing the core framework, we are temporarily **pausing the acceptance of external Pull Requests**.
>
> Please do not open Pull Requests at this time, as they are likely to conflict with ongoing changes and may be closed without review. Instead, we encourage you to:
> - Open an **Issue** to propose feature requests or report bugs.
> - Join discussions on existing issues to share your feedback.
>
> We will update this guide once the core architecture stabilizes and we are ready to welcome contributions again. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
