"The repo got stars, forks, and then an account suspension. So we kept the engineering, removed risky phrasing, and turned chaos into clean documentation."

Suspension Context

This repository gained traction quickly, then hit automated moderation.

1. Community growth crossed 60+ stars and 20+ forks.
2. Automated policy systems flagged the repository category.
3. The account was suspended pending review.
4. No security or integrity issues were identified in the project.
5. The project was migrated, legal scope was clarified, and docs were rewritten with compliance-first language.

What UMD Is

UMD is an engineering-focused command-line toolkit for:

• Input validation and normalization
• Batch job orchestration
• Metadata handling
• Format conversion workflows
• Error handling, retries, and logging
• Cross-platform automation scripts

What UMD Is Not

UMD is not positioned as:

• A rights-bypass utility

Legal-Safe Positioning

Use UMD only with assets you are authorized to process:

• Personal or owned files
• Public domain material
• Open-licensed content
• Explicitly permitted internal or client assets

Users are responsible for following local law, content rights, and service terms.
