Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by opening the example content-page edit URL and reproducing the inactive toolbar, inaccurate preview, and inconsistent Markdown/HTML behavior in Chrome on macOS. Trace the editor entry point used by content pages and document or test each reported path; done means the toolbar works and the preview matches the saved published content.
