Summary

CONTRIBUTING.md so external contributors have a documented onboarding path. Covers quick-start, pre-PR checklist (lint/test/audit/OpenAPI/CHANGELOG), commit conventions, review focus areas, and where to start.

Pairs with SECURITY.md (#100) to round out the OSS meta-docs.

Test plan

  • Documentation only — no code changes.

This code proudly made in Nebraska. GO BIG RED! 🌽 https://xkcd.com/2347/

Contributor onboarding written down. Covers:

- Quick-start (clone, env setup, migrations, tests).
- Pre-PR checklist: lint, test, audit, OpenAPI updates, CHANGELOG.
- Commit-message conventions (conventional-commit prefixes,
  Co-Authored-By trailers for AI-assisted work).
- What gets reviewed: auth scoping, zod input validation, soft-
  delete defaults, no raw SQL, logger discipline, tests.
- What contributors DON'T need (no CLA, no specific IDE, etc.).
- Where to start (good-first-issue label, test-file headers as
  the convention reference, CHANGELOG architectural rationale).

Pairs with SECURITY.md (#100) to round out the open-source meta-
documentation set.
