Add contribution guidelines and recommendations documents - #18

Rename HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE.md to CONTRIBUTING.md so GitHub surfaces it on the new-issue and new-PR forms; it is currently the only gate on contribution quality, since there is no branch protection, PR CI, or PR template yet. Replace first-name maintainer references with the public GitHub handles (@carolina-moron, @alx-du) and point contributors at review roles rather than one person. Rekey the section B drafts from CAR-nn to WF-nn so they read as questions about the maintenance workflow rather than about an individual. Record the blocker on UPD-002: the gh token has no workflow scope, so any push touching .github/workflows/* is rejected (BACKLOG.md section 8). That gates the pull-request CI item and the required-build control that depends on it, so it now leads the recommended implementation order. Correct the README site map: cohort history moved to the Home route via CohortsShowcase, the 404 note now clearly belongs to /about, and src/lib/ is listed because CONTRIBUTING.md requires asset() for public/ paths.

UPD-005 described the snapshot as touching hundreds of files during normal regeneration without saying why, which led to it being read as staleness. The cause was the random Next.js build ID embedded in every prerendered document, and it is now pinned in the snapshot copy, so the item's premise and its acceptance criteria needed correcting. Also records the blocker that would otherwise defeat the proposed drift check: the repository has no .gitattributes while Git for Windows defaults to core.autocrlf=true, so a Windows checkout reports hundreds of modified snapshot files that have no content change.
