## Git identity for contributions
Before pushing commits, verify that Git is configured with an email address that GitHub can associate with your account:
```bash
git config user.name
git config user.email
```

Avoid placeholder values such as `your@email.com` or localized template text; unresolved author emails can create avoidable provenance and SBOM review friction for downstream users.
