+## How to contribute
+
+### Did you find a bug?
+
+* **Ensure the bug was not already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action/issues).
+
+* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action/issues/new).
+  Be sure to include a **title and clear description**, as much relevant information as possible,
+  and a **code sample** or an **executable test case** demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.
+
+* **Do not open up a GitHub issue if the bug is a security vulnerability**,
+  and instead to refer to our [security policy](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action?tab=security-ov-file).
+
+### Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?
+
+* Suggest your change inside an [issue](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action/issues).
+
+* Do not open a pull request on GitHub until you have collected positive feedback about the change.
+
+### Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?
+
+* Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
+
+* Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution.
+  Include the relevant issue number if applicable.
+
+## Development of this action
+
+1. Install [act](https://github.com/nektos/act#installation)
+2. Make a symlink for `act` to work properly: `ln -s . golangci-lint-action`
+3. Install dependencies: `npm install`
+4. Build: `npm run build`
+5. Run `npm run local` after any change to test it
+
+### Releases
+
+```bash
+npm version <major | minor | patch> -m "Upgrade to %s"
+```
+
+- https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v11/commands/npm-version
+
+The "major tag" (ex: `v6`) should be deleted and then recreated manually.

-## Compatibility
+## Supporting Us

-* `v6.0.0+` removes `annotations` option, removes the default output format (`github-actions`).
-* `v5.0.0+` removes `skip-pkg-cache` and `skip-build-cache` because the cache related to Go itself is already handled by `actions/setup-go`.
-* `v4.0.0+` requires an explicit `actions/setup-go` installation step before using this action: `uses: actions/setup-go@v5`.
-  The `skip-go-installation` option has been removed.
-* `v2.0.0+` works with `golangci-lint` version >= `v1.28.3`
-* `v1.2.2` is deprecated due to we forgot to change the minimum version of `golangci-lint` to `v1.28.3` ([issue](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action/issues/39))
-* `v1.2.1` works with `golangci-lint` version >= `v1.14.0` ([issue](https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint-action/issues/39))

 3. The number of annotations is [limited](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/blob/main/docs/problem-matchers.md#limitations).

-To enable annotations, you need to add the `checks` permission to your action.
+Permissions required:

 ```yaml annotate
 permissions:
  # Required: allow read access to the content for analysis.
  contents: read
-  # Optional: allow read access to pull request. Use with `only-new-issues` option.
+  # Optional: allow read access to pull requests. Use with `only-new-issues` option.
  pull-requests: read
-  # Optional: allow write access to checks to allow the action to annotate code in the PR.
-  checks: write
 ```

+For annotations to work, use the default format output (`text`) and either use `actions/setup-go` in the job or enable the internal [problem matchers](#problem-matchers).

 ### Caching internals

 1. We save and restore the following directory: `~/.cache/golangci-lint`.
 2. The primary caching key looks like `golangci-lint.cache-{runner_os}-{working_directory}-{interval_number}-{go.mod_hash}`.
-   Interval number ensures that we periodically invalidate our cache (every 7 days).
-   `go.mod` hash ensures that we invalidate the cache early - as soon as dependencies have changed.
+   The interval number ensures that we periodically invalidate our cache (every 7 days).
+   The `go.mod` hash ensures that we invalidate the cache early — as soon as dependencies have changed.
 3. We use [restore keys](https://help.github.com/en/actions/configuring-and-managing-workflows/caching-dependencies-to-speed-up-workflows#matching-a-cache-key):
   `golangci-lint.cache-{runner_os}-{working_directory}-{interval_number}-`.
-   GitHub matches keys by prefix if we have no exact match for the primary cache.
+   GitHub matches keys by prefix if there is no exact match for the primary cache.

-## Development of this action
-
-1. Install [act](https://github.com/nektos/act#installation)
-2. Make a symlink for `act` to work properly: `ln -s . golangci-lint-action`
-3. Prepare deps once: `npm run prepare-deps`
-4. Run `npm run local` after any change to test it
