We currently lack a CONTRIBUTING.md and a clear local development setup guide, which makes it hard for new contributors to get started. This issue asks for a document that explains how to fork the repo, install dependencies (e.g., via pip install -e .), run the existing benchmark suite, and submit a pull request. The guide should also include a brief explanation of the project’s directory structure and how to run a single test case against a sample GitHub issue. Acceptance criteria: a new CONTRIBUTING.md file at the repo root, reviewed by at least one maintainer, and a corresponding update to the README linking to it.
