Engagement disposition: evolving. Verified partial delivery: the repo has a good first issue label, .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/first_contribution.md applies that label, and docs/contributor-runway.md tells newcomers to pick a scoped good first issue. The remaining friction is discoverability from the first screen: README.md links Contributor Runway but does not directly link a good-first-issue query or list language/scope tags across repos.
