Start with the contribution guide and choose one specific, unclaimed goal from this list; the issue provides no implementation file, entry point, or test to begin with. Review the referenced issues and pull requests where applicable, then define a focused scope and acceptance checks before coding. Done should mean one selected goal is implemented with appropriate tests or documentation.
