Document the contribution policy: we accept issues, not pull requests. Maintainers handle design and implementation through a prompt-driven workflow. Contributors who have already built a change locally should share the prompt they used rather than a diff. Cross-reference the policy from AGENTS.md.

…icy (#1517) GitHub auto-populates pull_request_template.md into every new PR body, so it steers would-be external PR authors to CONTRIBUTORS.md before they submit a diff. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The policy takes effect after v2/main merges into main, leaving a single line of development. Tell contributors to open a well-formed issue rather than routing them to per-version project boards. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Completes requirement #2 of #1517: a table mapping each active version to its base branch, project board, and version label, plus a "Label by version" note mirroring AGENTS.md.

I like this. I might remove the v1.5 references (and maybe kill the v1.5 branch altogether), since nobody outside of the core team probably ever saw that of knows what it is/was. It might also be good to say that if you want to work on the project as part of the team, that we invite you to join us on Discord or attend our meetings. It seems like we need some way for someone who really is interested in volunteering either in general or in some specific area to be able to contribute under our supervision, with a possible path to becoming a maintainer. I'm not sure what that looks like, but I'm trying to make it seem like we've completely closed the door to people we really want to contribute a level that makes sense for us to support. |

Closes #1517
Adds
CONTRIBUTORS.md(issues-only policy + version→board/branch/label table), the PR-template pointer, and an AGENTS.md## Contributinglink.Provenance: this work was briefly folded into the Wave-1 rollup (
1579-wave-1/ #1601) during review, then pulled back out — it's unrelated to the #1510 Apps-host decomposition that defines Wave 1. This PR is the real, standalone path tov2/main. Clean history (cherry-picked the doc commits ontov2/main, no rollup/merge/empty-commit noise). The old #1537 shows "merged into 1579-wave-1" from that interim step and is superseded by this.
