The guide lives at .github/CONTRIBUTING.md (where GitHub looks for it). A second CONTRIBUTING.md sat at the repository root from an earlier template pass, so this repo carried two guides — the root one is invisible to GitHub's UI and would drift.

Checked first: the root file duplicates the canonical guide, so it is simply removed.

Found while verifying the estate-wide guide relocation (the root CONTRIBUTING.adoc moved; this .md was a separate, older file).

The burrow keeps its code alone
Four steps fade from view
SPDX notes do too
And authorship leaves no stone}
