The desktop app is now a primary entry point for users, so the bilingual README should show the desktop screenshots before architecture details and the GitHub contribution panel should default to Chinese for the main audience.
Constraint: GitHub renders the root CONTRIBUTING.md directly in the repository overview.
Rejected: Leave desktop preview after architecture diagrams | buries the most visible product surface below implementation material.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Tested: bun run check:docs
Tested: git diff --check
Not-tested: GitHub repository page rendering after push
Contributors need a visible path for local verification instead of relying on design notes or maintainer memory. Add a GitHub-facing CONTRIBUTING entrypoint, bilingual docs pages, README links, and VitePress sidebar navigation for PR gates, live model baselines, provider selection, reports, and release checks.
Constraint: Live baseline providers are local machine state; docs must tell contributors how to list and choose their own providers without maintainer UUIDs.
Rejected: Keep the instructions only in the quality-gate design doc | too hidden for clone-and-contribute workflows
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep quality-gate commands documented wherever contributor onboarding links are exposed.
Tested: bun run check:docs
Tested: bun run quality:pr
Not-tested: live baseline after the docs-only wording change
