WalkthroughThe CONTRIBUTING.md file was updated to replace placeholder content with concrete SmartNotes project details, including specific prerequisites (Node.js v18+, npm v9+, Git), repository setup instructions with proper URLs, testing commands (lint, format, dev), and code style guidelines based on Biome.

- Around line 77-79: Add a blank line between the section header "3. **Add
Upstream Remote**" and the fenced code block that contains the git command so
the markdown has an empty line before the ```bash block; update the
CONTRIBUTING.md around the Add Upstream Remote section to insert that single
blank line above the code fence to satisfy markdownlint MD031.
- Around line 59-62: Update CONTRIBUTING.md to remove or correct the Node.js/npm
prerequisites: either (A) delete the Node.js v18+/npm v9+ lines and any
instructions mentioning `npm install`/`npm run dev`, and instead list the actual
tech stack and required tools consistent with README.md; or (B) if Node is
intended, initialize a minimal Node project (add `package.json`, optional
`.nvmrc`) and include working scripts referenced in CONTRIBUTING.md
(`install`/`dev`) so `npm install` and `npm run dev` succeed; also reconcile
README.md TODOs to reflect whichever option you choose.
- Around line 116-123: The CONTRIBUTING.md references npm commands ("npm run
lint", "npm run format", "npm run dev") but the repo lacks a package.json so the
setup is broken; either remove those npm instructions from CONTRIBUTING.md or
add a package.json that defines scripts "lint", "format", and "dev" plus any
required devDependencies and a basic "install" workflow so "npm install"
succeeds; ensure the README/Prerequisites section is updated to match (remove
npm requirements if you delete the commands, or keep Node/npm versions and add
the package.json if you add scripts).

Remove or update Node.js/npm prerequisites—no package.json or Node.js configuration files exist in the repository.
The CONTRIBUTING.md prerequisites (lines 59-62) specify Node.js v18+ and npm v9+, with setup instructions referencing npm install and npm run dev. However, there is no package.json, .nvmrc, or any Node.js project configuration files in the repository. The README.md is also a template with incomplete tech stack specifications marked as TODO. Contributors following these instructions would fail immediately. Either update the prerequisites to match the actual tech stack or initialize the project with proper Node.js configuration if that is the intended direction.

Add blank line before code block.
There should be a blank line between the section header and the fenced code block to comply with markdown best practices.
📝 Proposed fix
3. **Add Upstream Remote**
+
```bash
git remote add upstream https://github.com/AOSSIE-Org/SmartNotes.gitAs per coding guidelines, fenced code blocks should be surrounded by blank lines (markdownlint MD031).
📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
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.

Remove npm instructions from CONTRIBUTING.md or provide the missing package.json file.
The testing instructions on lines 116-123 reference npm run lint, npm run format, and npm run dev, but the repository contains no package.json file or npm infrastructure. This creates a broken setup flow—contributors following the Prerequisites (Node.js v18+, npm v9+) and Setup steps (npm install) will fail immediately. Either add the missing package.json and related npm configuration files, or remove the npm-based instructions from this guide.
