changed the title

OpenSpec changesheading to CONTRIBUTING.md: when a change needs one (behaviour or spec impact — not small fixes that leave the specs alone) and the order to do it in — draft, apply, validate, archive, then open the PR — with the/opsx:*command or CLI equivalent for each step. Also states thatopenspec/specs/is generated by the archive step and must not be hand-edited, and that artifacts for a far-reaching change are worth reviewing before implementation starts.Adds
