+# opentelemetry-java — Development Notes
+
+## Language
+
+- AI conversation: always respond in English
+- Code, code comments, documentation: always write in US English
+
+## Before creating a git commit
+
+Verify successfull builds with: `gradle spotlessApply build` then
+run `./gradlew jApiCmp` as the last step before committing **when Kotlin sources changed**.
+This updates the API diff files in `docs/apidiffs/current_vs_latest/` and must be included in
+the commit. CI enforces that these files are up to date and will fail if they are stale.
+YAML, Markdown, and workflow-only changes do not require running `jApiCmp`.
+
+## Publishing Architecture
+
+`otel.publish-conventions.gradle.kts` (in `buildSrc/`) defines the Maven publication for all
+subprojects via the `maven-publish` convention plugin.
+
+Sonatype/Maven Central is wired via `nexusPublishing` in the root `build.gradle.kts` — not via
+a `repositories {}` block in the convention plugin. Additional publish targets (e.g. GitHub
+Packages) must be added inside `publishing { }` in the convention plugin.
+
+The signing block activates when the `CI` env var is set. Omit `CI` in a workflow to suppress
+signing without removing GPG secrets.
+
+Version is always `1.64.0-SNAPSHOT` while `snapshot = true` in `version.gradle.kts`.
