+## Summary
+
+Fixes `Hand.isPlayable()` incorrectly treating `_inactive[i] === 2` (new player) as playable.
+
+Per **HAND.md** and **APPENDIX_SEATING.md**, `_inactive: 2` means "new player" and they are inactive until next hand. Only `_inactive === 0` or `undefined` should count as playable.
+
+## Changes
+
+- **src/Hand.ts**: In `Hand.isPlayable()`, only treat `_inactive[i] === 0` or `undefined` as active; `1` (waiting/sitting out) and `2` (new player) are not playable.
+- **CONTRIBUTION_FINDINGS.md**: Added audit of issues, bugs, docs, and improvement ideas for future contributions.
+
+## Test
+
+- Fixes failing test: `Hand Data Extraction > Hand.isPlayable > should treat new players (_inactive: 2) as not playable`
+- `npx vitest run src/__tests__/api/hand/data-extraction.test.ts` passes (45 tests)
