Summary

  • Created docs/development/contributor-guide.md — a comprehensive practical workflow guide for contributors covering:

    • Prerequisites and environment setup (Python 3.13, Git, Node.js, Docker)
    • Fork and clone workflow with upstream remote configuration
    • Branch naming conventions with type prefixes and examples
    • Commit message format (Conventional Changelog) with examples and Commitizen usage
    • Pre-commit hooks table — what each hook checks and whether it auto-fixes
    • Running the test suite via Nox with coverage requirements (≥97%)
    • Writing new BDD tests with Behave/Gherkin — file locations, scenario structure, step definition rules
    • Code style with Ruff formatting and linting, editor integration
    • Type checking with Pyright strict mode — rules and common patterns
    • ADR process — when to write one, how to write one, front-matter format, status lifecycle
    • PR submission checklist (code quality, commits, metadata, documentation)
    • Review process — what happens after submission, self-approval rules, responding to feedback
    • Further reading links to CONTRIBUTING.md, quality-automation.md, ADR index, specification
  • Extended README.md — added a ### Documentation Index subsection under the existing ## Documentation section with a table of all major documentation resources. All existing README content is preserved intact.

Thanks for the documentation push! Unfortunately I have to request changes before this can merge:

  1. docs/development/contributor-guide.md weighs in at 617 lines. Requirement #13 in CONTRIBUTING caps files at 500 lines, so please split or trim the guide.
  2. The PR currently does not close any issue. Requirement #4 expects each PR to close exactly one issue via a closing keyword and matching metadata.
  3. There is no milestone assigned. Requirement #5 requires the PR and its linked issue to share a milestone.
  4. The PR is missing a Type/ label. Requirement #6 requires exactly one Type/ label.
  5. CHANGELOG.md has not been updated for this change (requirement #7).
  6. CONTRIBUTORS.md has not been updated (requirement #8).

Once these are resolved (and CI finishes) please re-request review. Thanks!
