Brandon ThomasandClaude Opus 5.5 ab5ebfbae1 About: contributor and model credits compiled in (grab bag + table, self-submitted names) (#228)
* About: contributors compiled in from contributors.json (grab bag + table, sortable, name toggle)

About EffectCraft now has tabs About · Contributors · Models, following the craftrules standard
(standards/contributors.md): contributors/contributors.json is generated by
craftrules/scripts/contributors.py and baked into the binary by crates/ui-egui/build.rs as static
tables. Each contributor line: @username, opt-in display/real name, PRs, commits, lines +/−/Δ,
binary assets +/−, first/last commit. Sortable by every column; alphabetical ignores case and
the leading @. Every control registers an automation id (about.tab.*, about.credits.*).

* Contributors: self-submitted names in contributors/people.toml; AGENTS.md credit-yourself section

build.rs reads contributors/people.toml next to the generated contributors.json and shows a name only
for entries the generator verified as written by that person (craftrules standards/contributors.md).

# Contributors in the About window
**About ▸ Contributors** credits everyone who contributed to EffectCraft, and **About ▸ Models** credits
the AI models named in `Co-Authored-By` trailers. This follows the shared craftrules standard
[`standards/contributors.md`](https://github.com/storytold/craftrules/blob/main/standards/contributors.md);
this page is the local copy of the decision.
## Decision
- Two files, both **compiled into the binary** by the UI crate's `build.rs` (nothing is read from
disk or the network at run time; the web build has them too):
- [`contributors/contributors.json`](../contributors/contributors.json): commit stats per GitHub
username. **Generated** by `craftrules/scripts/contributors.py`; never hand-edit.
- [`contributors/people.toml`](../contributors/people.toml): the names people chose for
themselves. **Each contributor adds only their own entry**, in their own PR.
- Each contributor gets one line: GitHub username (always), display name (opt-in, or their synced
GitHub profile name), real name (only if they told us), merged PRs, commits, lines added, lines
deleted, binary assets added, binary assets removed, first and last commit date.
- The list is shown as a **grab bag** (names flowing as text) or a **table**, in the same order. It
sorts by name, PRs, commits, lines added, lines deleted, line delta, binary assets added/removed,
first or last commit date. The name toggle cycles **Username → Display name → Real name**; a
missing name falls back to `@username`. Alphabetical sorting is case-insensitive and ignores the `@`.
## In EffectCraft
- The About window is `about()` in `crates/ui-egui/src/panels/dialogs.rs` (`app.about`, or click the header logo); automation ids `about.tab.*` and `about.credits.*`.
## Credit yourself
Add your entry to `contributors/people.toml` in a PR you commit yourself (every field optional):
```toml
[people.your-github-username]
real_name = "Your Name"
display_name = "Nickname"
sync_github_name = true # use the name on your public GitHub profile as display name
```
or, with craftrules checked out next to `craft-apps/`:
```sh
python3 ../../craftrules/scripts/contributors.py --add-me . --real-name "Your Name" --sync-github-name
```
Names show after the next refresh: the script checks that each entry was committed by its own
user (or by a maintainer with a `consent_source`). Delete your entry to remove your names.
## Refreshing (maintainers)
```sh
python3 ../../craftrules/scripts/contributors.py . # regenerate + verify; needs git, Python 3.11+, gh
python3 ../../craftrules/scripts/contributors.py --check . # verify people.toml only
```
Commit the updated `contributors/contributors.json`. Git author names and emails are never recorded.
