OSS contribution — docs, tests & first PR

⏱️ 3–5 hours (reading + work) 📊 Solana Core · Level 2 · OSS contribution

Cadence: Same slot as Hyperscale Level 4’s hands-on simulation tests module—reading modules first, then this mergeable slice. Success means a PR that passes CI and is scoped small enough to review in one sitting.

Outcomes

Suggested workflow

  1. Run node scripts/reflect-changes.js solana-core so you know what moved upstream since your last baseline.
  2. Search issues for good first issue or ask in Discord/Matrix after reading CONTRIBUTING in the repo root.
  3. Keep the diff under ~300 lines unless maintainers agreed on scope.
  4. After merge (or actionable review): run node scripts/reflect-changes.js solana-core --save to refresh your teaching baseline.

Placeholder checklist

Next level starts at Level 3 — Local validator & tracing.
