Engagement disposition: distilled: CONTRIBUTING.md. Current main's CONTRIBUTING.md is now a conventional Jekyll/Ruby contributor guide: prerequisites, bundle install, local serve, branch/PR flow, validation command, Markdown/frontmatter notes, and maintainer review expectations. README.md also links docs/contributor-runway.md for first-time contributors, so the old non-standard contribution-path friction is substantively addressed.
