🎯 Changes

Clarify how to submit focused, reviewable contributions to TanStack Form. Require contributors to search for duplicates, follow the PR template, understand any AI-assisted code, and include changesets for published package changes.

Add lightweight CodeRabbit anti-slop guidance and root agent instructions so automated reviewers and coding agents use the same contributing rules.
