Mechanical repairs to .github/CONTRIBUTING.md, each anchored on a specific known-broken form:

  • unescaped # -> #
  • rebuilt the hard-wrapped setup block into one command per line
  • replaced invalid (): commit header
  • dedented headings that rendered as code

Why these: they are the classes reviewers keep flagging on this file — template tokens left unsubstituted, commands collapsed onto one line by the AsciiDoc→Markdown conversion so copying them passes extra arguments, \# escapes where # was meant, an invalid (): commit header, and a four-space indent that made headings render as code.

No prose is rewritten; only the broken forms are corrected. If a pattern is not present the file is untouched.

Use a level-two heading for Repository Structure.

### Repository Structure skips from the surrounding level-one headings and does not match the level-two section hierarchy used by How to Contribute and Development Workflow. Change line 21 to ## Repository Structure.

The tree block was hard-wrapped by the AsciiDoc->Markdown conversion, so it
rendered as a paragraph rather than a tree, and it still listed
CONTRIBUTING.md at the repository root, where the guide no longer lives.

Rebuilt from the tree's own content: depth recovered from the `|` continuation
bars that survived the wrap, the guide entry moved under `.github/`, `#`
escapes unescaped, the last entry of each group restored to `└──`, and the
block fenced so it renders as a tree. Every annotation ("Perimeter 1-2") is
preserved - nothing is invented and nothing is dropped.
