Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names the GitHub importer and citation metadata UI as entry points; inspect how existing and generated values are currently detected and presented. Document the desired import behavior and identify UI changes for conflicts, source visibility, warnings, and choosing values. Done means the import behavior is documented and the UI improvements are identified.
