If you discover a security vulnerability in this project, please report it by:

1. DO NOT open a public issue
2. Email the maintainer directly (check the repository for contact information)
3. Include:
   • Description of the vulnerability
   • Steps to reproduce
   • Potential impact
   • Suggested fix (if any)

We will respond as quickly as possible and work with you to address the issue.

• Never commit sensitive files: Ensure your docs/ folder doesn't contain:
  • API keys, tokens, or credentials
  • Personal identifiable information (PII)
  • Proprietary or confidential information
  • Private keys or certificates

• Always review the script before running it on your documentation
• Check what files will be processed: the script scans all .md files in docs/ subdirectories
• Verify the output in doc_exports/ before sharing

• Use a virtual environment for running this script
• Keep your Python installation and dependencies up to date
• Review the code if you're processing sensitive documentation

• The doc_exports/ directory is gitignored by default
• Verify your .gitignore is working before committing
• Review consolidated files before uploading them anywhere
• Be aware that consolidating documents may expose information you intended to keep separate

If sharing exported documentation publicly:

• Remove any internal references, URLs, or system paths
• Sanitize examples that might contain real data
• Review for accidentally included credentials or secrets
• Consider if the consolidated view reveals information architecture you want to keep private

• This script does not encrypt or redact any content
• It processes files as plain text without security scanning
• It's the user's responsibility to ensure source documentation is safe to consolidate and share

This is a simple utility script. Always use the latest version from the main branch.

Security-related updates will be noted in release notes and commit messages with a [SECURITY] prefix.
