Codify the conventions established during the 2026-07 PR-backlog triage: scope contract for PRs, content/link/metadata conventions, generated-API-page workflow, and the patch/swizzle last-resort ladder. Seeded in part by conventions proposed in #1044.

Pull request overview

Adds a repository-level CONTRIBUTING.md to codify project contribution expectations and documentation/site conventions (including PR scope, content/link rules, and generated API page workflows), based on the 2026-07 triage outcomes and proposals from #1044.

Changes:

  • Introduces a comprehensive contributing guide covering PR hygiene, content conventions, and review expectations.
  • Documents workflows/policies for generated API reference pages and for URL/redirect handling.
  • Defines a “patch/swizzle as last resort” decision ladder for dependency issues.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

The rationale ("has changed before") was incorrect, so the ruling and
its TODO come out rather than getting confirmed.
