How to Review

  1. Test the automation:
    git checkout docs/issue-68-onboarding-scripts
    make help
    make validate

This pull request introduces a comprehensive developer onboarding and demo orchestration workflow for the Veraison documentation repository. It adds a robust set of tools and documentation for environment validation, demo management, troubleshooting, and contributor guidance. The changes focus on improving usability, automation, and clarity for both new and experienced contributors.

Developer Environment & Tooling

  • Added a .devcontainer/devcontainer.json for a pre-configured VS Code development environment, including Docker, Go, Python, and recommended extensions.
  • Introduced a Makefile with targets for validation, linting, demo orchestration, health checks, and troubleshooting, streamlining common developer tasks.

Documentation & Contributor Experience

  • Added a detailed CONTRIBUTING.md outlining prerequisites, workflow, commit conventions, and a PR checklist to standardize contributions and onboarding.
  • Updated README.md with a Quick Start guide, troubleshooting links, and demo instructions for improved clarity and accessibility.

Demo Orchestration

  • Added placeholder docker-compose.yml files and README guides for both PSA (demo/psa/) and CCA (demo/cca/) demos, enabling one-command startup and health checks for attestation service demos. [1] [2] [3] [4]

Validation & CI

  • Introduced a GitHub Actions workflow (.github/workflows/ci-validate.yml) to automatically validate documentation and scripts on pushes and PRs, ensuring repository health.

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Added a comprehensive TROUBLESHOOTING.md covering setup, Docker, platform-specific, demo, and validation issues, with practical solutions for common problems.

The docker-compose-plugin package is not available on all Ubuntu versions
in GitHub Actions. Switch to installing docker-compose via pip which is
more widely compatible across different Ubuntu versions.

GitHub Actions runners have Docker pre-installed. The docker-compose pip
installation was failing due to old PyYAML compatibility issues. Since our
validation scripts only check for tool presence and don't run containers
in CI, we can rely on the pre-installed Docker and skip the problematic
docker-compose installation.

Signed-off-by: Sunny <77166237+bashSunny101@users.noreply.github.com>
GitHub Actions and modern Docker installations use Docker Compose v2
(docker compose plugin) instead of the standalone docker-compose v1.
Updated validation to check for both versions and made protoc/shellcheck
warnings instead of failures since they're optional tools.
