DevKit manufacturer-first support policy

Status: draft.

  1. Customer contacts the manufacturer that sold the product.
  2. Manufacturer attempts normal remedy: support, replacement part, repair, refund, or other good-faith resolution.
  3. If the issue is severe or unresolved, the customer or Arrow may open an Arrow forum/governance thread with evidence.
  4. The DAO/community can review the issue and decide whether a stronger remedy, manufacturer status change, or future AIP-009 slashing action is appropriate.

For the MVP, this process is intentionally manual. Contract and UI automation should come after real support cases clarify the workflow.

Policies are governed in arrow-catalog.
