Tom Boucher e66f7e889e docs: add typed contribution templates and tighten contributor guidelines (#1673)
Overhaul CONTRIBUTING.md and all GitHub issue/PR templates to enforce a
structured, approval-gated contribution process that cuts down on drive-by
feature submissions.

Changes:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: add Types of Contributions section defining Fix,
  Enhancement, and Feature with escalating requirements and explicit
  rejection criteria; add Issue-First Rule section making clear that
  enhancements require approved-enhancement and features require
  approved-feature label before any code is written; backport gsd-2
  testing standards (t.after() per-test cleanup, array join() fixture
  pattern, Node 24 as primary CI target, test requirements by change type,
  reviewer standards)

- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/enhancement.yml: new template requiring current
  vs. proposed behavior, reason/benefit narrative, full scope of changes,
  and breaking changes assessment; cannot be clicked through

- .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/feature_request.yml: full rewrite requiring solo-
  developer problem statement, what is being added, full file-level scope,
  user stories, acceptance criteria, maintenance burden assessment, and
  alternatives considered; incomplete specs are closed, not revised

- .github/pull_request_template.md: converted from general template to a
  routing page directing contributors to the correct typed template;
  using the default template for a feature or enhancement is a rejection
  reason

- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/fix.md: new typed template requiring
  confirmed-bug label on linked issue and regression test confirmation

- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/enhancement.md: new typed template with
  hard gate on approved-enhancement label and scope confirmation section

- .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE/feature.md: new typed template requiring
  file inventory, spec compliance checklist from the issue, and scope
  confirmation that nothing beyond the approved spec was added
