Summary
The repository currently has no contributor guide, which makes it harder for new contributors to get started. This PR adds
CONTRIBUTING.mdcovering:npm install, F5 to launch Extension Development Hostnpm run test:unitfor unit tests, VS Code runner for integration testsCloses #Npackage.jsonand Marketplace extension IDWhy Now
Multiple issues (#8, #21, #25, #34, #43) are essentially configuration questions that could be deflected by a clear README/CONTRIBUTING guide. The new configuration tips table summarises the guidance already in the README and in Repo Assist comments, in a compact format contributors and users can quickly reference.
