docs: rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md with comprehensive development guide

Requested by @ntindle

The existing CONTRIBUTING.md was a stub pointing to an outdated wiki.
This rewrites it as a proper human-friendly guide, pulling from our
detailed CLAUDE.md files that previously only served AI tools.

Changes:
- Root CONTRIBUTING.md: Full rewrite with setup, dev commands, testing,
  PR process, conventional commits, and docs contribution
- docs/platform/SUMMARY.md: Add Contributing section with links
- docs/platform/contributing/README.md: Hub page linking to guides

The frontend CONTRIBUTING.md (already comprehensive) is linked rather
than duplicated.
