optimization_tips:
  - Use personal access tokens scoped narrowly to reduce accidental resource consumption.
  - Leverage cursor-based pagination (25 items/page default) to avoid high-complexity GraphQL queries that may be rejected.
  - Use the hut CLI for bulk exports and data operations to avoid repeated API calls.
  - Contributing users (not hosting their own projects) do not require a paid subscription.
  - Request financial aid if subscription cost is a barrier; SourceHut has a stated policy of never pricing out users.
notes:
  - SourceHut is in public alpha; pricing and billing structures may evolve.
  - The platform announced proposed price increases in December 2025; verify current pricing at sourcehut.org/pricing.
  - No enterprise contracts, volume discounts, or SLA tiers are documented.
  - Self-hosting the open-source SourceHut software is free; costs shift to infrastructure.
