This pull request introduces significant improvements to the project's contributor and reviewer documentation. The main focus is on providing clear, actionable, and consistent guidelines for both code contributors and reviewers. The changes include a comprehensive new PR Review Guidelines section in CONTRIBUTING.md and a rewritten, more focused copilot-instructions.md that covers repository context, development workflows, code conventions, and review best practices.

The most important changes are:

PR Review Process Enhancements:

  • Added a detailed "PR Review Guidelines" section to .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, outlining objectives, checklists, scoring rubrics, risk assessment, constructive feedback strategies, and a standardized review summary template to ensure actionable and high-quality reviews.

Developer and Maintainer Onboarding:

  • Rewrote .github/copilot-instructions.md to provide a concise repository overview, project structure, and explicit instructions for setup, development, testing, documentation, and review processes, making onboarding easier for new contributors and maintainers.

Code Quality and Contribution Standards:

  • Clarified and enforced code style, API design, performance, and documentation requirements, including mandatory Google-style docstrings with examples, type hints, and pre-commit checks for all contributions.

Testing and Documentation Requirements:

  • Established explicit testing and documentation standards for new features and changes, including test coverage for edge cases and integration with project documentation and navigation.

Branching and Commit Strategy:

  • Documented the required branching model and conventional commit message format to ensure consistency across all contributions.
