Split CONTRIBUTING into public and harness tracks - #5
Merged
Conversation
Why: A first-time public contributor was told to run agent:context and create a Codex session directory before editing. That blocked small patches that only need Node 20 and the Node test suites. Changed: CONTRIBUTING.md now leads with a public-patches track: Node.js 20 and npm run test:broker-core, test:client, and test:harness-adoption, with no harness session required. The maintainer and agent track still documents agent:context, agent:verify, and agent:complete. Front-door tests read the shipped page for both tracks. Specs and README record the split. Harness enforcement is unchanged. Verification: node --test docs/test/front-door.test.mjs npm run agent:verify -- --profile spec-only --paths CONTRIBUTING.md,docs/test/front-door.test.mjs,README.md,docs/getting-started.md,spec/agents.md,spec/build-and-test.md,spec/README.md --session-dir task-sessions/20260818-contributing-tracks Affected: CONTRIBUTING.md docs/test/front-door.test.mjs README.md docs/getting-started.md spec/agents.md spec/build-and-test.md spec/README.md Refs: https://github.com/fiveonecode/simulator-broker spec/agents.md Session: task-sessions/20260818-contributing-tracks

Step 4 of the public onboarding sequence. A small public patch can use Node.js 20 and the Node test suites without a Codex session directory. Maintainers and agent runs still use
