        ## Discussion-first issue policy

        Issues are maintainer-curated work items. Community reports and feature requests should start in [Discussions](https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/discussions) so DevRel can validate, reproduce, and route them before engineering time is committed.

        Use this form when:
        - A discussion has been validated and should become actionable work.
        - A maintainer is opening internally validated work that can bypass the discussion-first flow.

        Issues opened without a relevant validated discussion or maintainer context may be closed and redirected to Discussions.
