fix(docs): enhance tutorials with Noir Language Server tips and update versioning sections (#19129)

## Summary

This PR updates the developer documentation tutorials to use the latest
Aztec syntax and improves overall tutorial quality:

### Tutorial Updates

**Counter Contract Tutorial**
- Migrated dependencies from `aztec-packages` monorepo to the standalone
`aztec-nr` repository
- Replaced deprecated `easy_private_state`/`EasyPrivateUint` with
`balance_set`/`BalanceSet`
- Updated import explanations for new patterns (`MessageDelivery`,
`debug_log_format`, `Owned`)
- Fixed function descriptions to reflect constrained message delivery
patterns

**Token Contract Tutorial**
- Added explicit `mkdir` and `cd` commands for clearer project setup
- Migrated dependencies to `aztec-nr` repository
- Updated to use `BalanceSet` instead of `EasyPrivateUint`
- Added instruction to start local network before deployment

**Aztec.js Getting Started Tutorial**
- Refactored to use `#include_code` macros instead of inline code blocks
- Added `@aztec/test-wallet` dependency
- Created companion example at
`docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/`
- Improved step-by-step flow with numbered instructions

**Token Bridge Tutorial**
- Added tip about Noir Language Server VS Code extension
- Updated dependency references to `aztec-nr` repository
- Fixed `#[private]` to `#[external("private")]` annotation
- Corrected command syntax from `aztec new --contract` to `aztec new`
- Updated terminology from "constrained event" to "constrained message
delivery"

**Local Network Tutorial**
- Updated table of contents with detailed navigation
- Fixed `aztec-up` command to include version placeholder

### Example Code Updates

- Created new `aztecjs_getting_started/` example with full working code
- Fixed `bob_token_contract/index.ts`: added missing `await` and removed
unused variable
- Updated `bootstrap.sh` to handle examples using only pre-built
packages (no custom contracts)
- Updated NFT bridge contracts with modern Aztec syntax (`self.call()`,
`Owned` wrapper, proper imports)
- Fixed relative paths in example `Nargo.toml` files
- Applied `noir fmt` formatting to contract examples

## Test plan

- [ ] Verify tutorials build correctly with `yarn build`
- [ ] Confirm example TypeScript projects pass validation with
`bootstrap.sh`
- [ ] Test that code snippets in tutorials match the example source
files

 ### Connecting to the local network
 
-We want to [connect to our running local network](../../aztec-js/how_to_connect_to_local_network.md) and import the test accounts into a new wallet. Let's call them Alice and Bob (of course). Create an `index.ts` with it:
+Now let's connect to the Aztec local network and set up test accounts.
 
-```typescript
-import { createAztecNodeClient } from "@aztec/aztec.js/node";
-import { TestWallet } from "@aztec/test-wallet/server";
-import { getInitialTestAccountsData } from "@aztec/accounts/testing";
+**Step 1: Start the Aztec Local Network**
 
-const nodeUrl = "http://localhost:8080";
-const node = createAztecNodeClient(nodeUrl);
-const wallet = await TestWallet.create(node);
+In a separate terminal, run:
 
-const [alice, bob] = await getInitialTestAccountsData();
-await wallet.createSchnorrAccount(alice.secret, alice.salt);
-await wallet.createSchnorrAccount(bob.secret, bob.salt);
+```sh
+aztec start --local-network
 ```
 
-## Deploy the token contract
+Keep this terminal running throughout the tutorial.
 
-Now that we have our accounts loaded, let's move on to deploy our pre-compiled token smart contract. You can find the full code for the contract [here (GitHub link)](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/tree/master/noir-projects/noir-contracts/contracts/app/token_contract/src).
+**Step 2: Create the index.ts file**
 
-Let's import the interface directly, and make Alice the admin:
+Create an `index.ts` file in the root of your project with the following code. This connects to the local network and imports test accounts (Alice and Bob):
 
-```typescript
-import { TokenContract } from "@aztec/noir-contracts.js/Token";

-const token = await TokenContract.deploy(
-  wallet,
-  alice.address,
-  "TokenName",
-  "TKN",
-  18
-)
-  .send({ from: alice.address })
-  .deployed();
+**Step 3: Verify the script runs**
+
+Run the script to make sure everything is set up correctly:
+
+```sh
+yarn start
 ```
 
+If there are no errors, you're ready to continue. For more details on connecting to the local network, see [this guide](../../aztec-js/how_to_connect_to_local_network.md).
+
+## Deploy the token contract
+
+Now that we have our accounts loaded, let's deploy a pre-compiled token contract from the Aztec library. You can find the full code for the contract [here (GitHub link)](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/tree/#include_aztec_version/noir-projects/noir-contracts/contracts/app/token_contract/src).
+
+Add the following to `index.ts` to import the contract and deploy it with Alice as the admin:
+
+#include_code deploy /docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/index.ts typescript
+
 ## Mint and transfer
 
 Let's go ahead and have Alice mint herself some tokens, in private:
 
-```typescript
-await token.methods
-  .mint_to_private(alice.address, 100)
-  .send({ from: alice.address })
-  .wait();
-```
+#include_code mint /docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/index.ts typescript
 
 Let's check both Alice's and Bob's balances now:
 
-```typescript
-let aliceBalance = await token.methods
-  .balance_of_private(alice.address)
-  .simulate({ from: alice.address });
-console.log(`Alice's balance: ${aliceBalance}`); // whoooaa 100 tokens
-let bobBalance = await token.methods
-  .balance_of_private(bob.address)
-  .simulate({ from: bob.address });
-console.log(`Bob's balance: ${bobBalance}`); // you get nothin' 🥹
-```
+#include_code check_balances /docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/index.ts typescript
+
+Alice should have 100 tokens, while Bob has none yet.
 
 Great! Let's have Alice transfer some tokens to Bob, also in private:
 
-```typescript
-await token.methods
-  .transfer(bob.address, 10)
-  .send({ from: alice.address })
-  .wait();
-bobBalance = await token.methods
-  .balance_of_private(bob.address)
-  .simulate({ from: bob.address });
-console.log(`Bob's balance: ${bobBalance}`);
-```
+#include_code transfer /docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/index.ts typescript
 
-Nice, Bob should now see 10 tokens in his balance! Thanks Alice!
+Bob should now see 10 tokens in his balance.
 
 ## Other cool things
 
 Say that Alice is nice and wants to set Bob as a minter. Even though it's a public function, it can be called in a similar way:
 
-```typescript
-await token.methods
-  .set_minter(bob.address, true)
-  .send({ from: alice.address })
-  .wait();
-```
+#include_code set_minter /docs/examples/ts/aztecjs_getting_started/index.ts typescript
 
-Bob is now the minter, so he can mint some tokens to himself, notice that for the time being, you need to bind `token` to Bob's wallet with `withWallet(bob)`:
-
-```typescript
-await token
-  .withWallet(bob)
-  .methods.mint_to_private(bob.address, 100)
-  .send({ from: bob.address })
-  .wait();
-bobBalance = await token.methods
-  .balance_of_private(bob.address)
-  .simulate({ from: bob.address });
-console.log(`Bob's balance: ${bobBalance}`);
-```
+Bob is now the minter, so he can mint some tokens to himself:
