The "Repository Structure" block still listed CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root, but the guide lives at .github/CONTRIBUTING.md — the entry pointed at a location it had already moved away from.

This is the only change: the entry moves under the tree's existing .github/ branch, at the block's own comment column. The tree already rendered correctly and its layout is untouched.


The contributing guide was instantiated from the estate template and kept one of the template's tokens verbatim: {{MAIN_BRANCH}}, in

  1. Check if it's already fixed in {{MAIN_BRANCH}}

The token is correct in the template itself, but a reader of this repository sees it literally. It resolves to this repository's default branch. One token — nothing else in the guide changes.

The documentation move currently causes broken references and can make Rhodibot create a duplicate guide and false pull request. These are localized, low-impact issues, but should be corrected before relying on the move.

Use .github/CONTRIBUTING.md in Rhodibot. The scheduled, manual, and workflow_run triggers can reach this step. The checkout contains .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, not root-level CONTRIBUTING.md, so the workflow marks the repository as changed and creates a duplicate root-level file. It then attempts to commit, push, and open a pull request for that false change.

-          if [ ! -f "CONTRIBUTING.md" ]; then
-            cat > CONTRIBUTING.md << 'CONTEOF'

Remove the inline closing fence from the last tree entry.

The separate closing fence is on Line 52. The trailing backticks on Line 51 are therefore rendered as tree content and produce an extra ``` after Justfile.

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

The repository-structure block listed `CONTRIBUTING.md` at the repository
root, but the guide lives at `.github/CONTRIBUTING.md` - the entry pointed
at a location it had already moved away from. The entry is moved under the
tree's existing `.github/` branch, at the block's own comment column; the
layout of the rest of the tree is untouched.

The guide is instantiated from the estate template, whose own copy legitimately holds
`{{MAIN_BRANCH}}`. Here it was never substituted, so the reader is told to check whether
a bug "is already fixed in `{{MAIN_BRANCH}}`". Resolved to this repository's default
branch. One token, no other change.
