Help for becoming the contributor

Hey, I want to contribute to this framework by working on some bugs and perform testing.
This is my first time thinking about doing something like this and would deeply appreciate some insight and tips on how I can do it professionally. What process should I do and What are some must things to have to contribute to a project.

Thank you so much for talking your time and helping me out.
Feel free to reach out and give me guidance on my LinkedIn

since you're interested in testing, i'd start with a small bug you can reproduce. turning that into a failing test gives you a concrete first goal, even before you know the fix

1. check the issues and existing prs to avoid duplicating work. post your reproduction on its issue, or open an issue if needed
2. fork and clone the repo. with python, poetry and make installed, run make setup and make install-pre-commit from the repo root. the contribution guide covers setup and the pr checklist
3. add a regression test linking the original issue. the testing guide shows widget testing with App.run_test() and Pilot
4. keep the pr focused, link the issue, update CHANGELOG.md, and run make format and make test

for visual changes, follow the snapshot-testing instructions. inspect the visual differences before updating snapshots
