📄 Description

What: relax the "no leaks" rule, as discussed in #59.

Now allowed: knowledge from beta builds and leaked SDKs or source, written in your own words, plus saying where it came from. That covers things like HKX format facts learned from a leaked Havok SDK, or Watch Dogs internals from a beta build.

Still out: the leaked material itself.

No pasted leaked code, attached files, download links or license keys.
No telling the agent to fetch them.
The agent itself never downloads leaked source, builds or SDKs. Using knowledge from them is fine.
Mods shouldn't ship leaked code, or need a leaked build to run. (Corrected: an earlier version of this description said that's why H2M was taken down; the sources don't support that, see #79.)

Where it changed:

CONTRIBUTING.md: a new "Leaks" hard rule.
safety.md: the takedown-risk paragraph.
retro-decomp.md: still never download leaked source or builds, and still a note that some decomp projects refuse leak-derived work, so check a project's rules.
The reverse-engineering skill's archives line.
share-field-notes' "Never include" list.
The .agents/skills and .claude/skills copies are refreshed.

Also, the open-source-modding.github.io docs that #46 suggested still stay off the reading list. Its Havok page publishes Havok SDK license keys taken from a retail game build, which this rule keeps out.

Checklist

uv run --with pytest pytest -q tests passes (57, including the skill-copies test); um kb check --index and um publish check . pass
