**NOTE: Code changes in this repo are now limited to a small category of fixes**:

* Crashes that were introduced in 5.9 or 6.0 that *also* repro in 7.0 *and* have a portable fix *and* don't incur other behavioral changes
* Security issues
* Language service crashes that substantially impact mainline usage
* Serious regressions from 5.9 (these must *seriously* impact a *large* proportion of users)

The new bullet list is indented (two leading spaces before *), but other lists in this README are not. Consider removing the extra indentation to keep Markdown formatting consistent within the file.

This guidance is inconsistent with CONTRIBUTING.md, which currently says all code changes should go to the typescript-go repo and that this repo only accepts critical 6.0 fixes. Consider aligning the wording here with CONTRIBUTING.md (and/or linking to it) so contributors get a single clear instruction.

This issue also appears on line 37 of the same file.
