Summary

Records the issue-tracking conventions (from the docs-repo PM cleanup) in the contributor-facing meta docs, so they're discoverable and durable:

  • CONTRIBUTING.md — new Reporting Issues section: the four issue forms, issue types (Bug/Feature/Task), area labels (content/platform, and why there are no per-subsystem labels), and v5.x release milestones for tracking docs work per release alongside harper/harper-pro.
  • AGENTS.md — new Issues & Project Management section mirroring the above for agents (kind is carried by type, not labels; don't reintroduce bug/enhancement; don't delete the empty release milestones).
  • README.md — note the type/area/milestone organization and link to the guide (also drops the now-stale "bug report" template wording).

Notes

  • Pairs with chore(intake): issue types, simplified forms, and config #545 (issue-type forms + simplification + config.yml). Together these make the type/label/milestone model the documented norm.
  • Milestones: this establishes the convention of using the v5.x release milestones to track docs work per release. The empty v5.1/v5.2 milestones are kept (not deleted) as the canonical per-release buckets.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Record the issue-tracking conventions across the contributor-facing docs:
- CONTRIBUTING.md: add a "Reporting Issues" section — the four forms, issue
  types (Bug/Feature/Task), area labels (content/platform, no subsystem
  labels), and v5.x release milestones for per-release docs tracking.
- AGENTS.md: add an "Issues & Project Management" section mirroring the above
  for agents (don't reintroduce bug/enhancement labels; don't delete the
  release milestones).
- README.md: note the type/area/milestone organization and link to the guide.

Code Review

This pull request updates the project's documentation (AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and README.md) to define and explain the issue management workflow, including issue types, area labels, and release milestones. The review feedback suggests improving navigability by linking directly to the reporting section in AGENTS.md and formatting issue types in bold within README.md for consistency across files.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

Comment thread AGENTS.md
- **Area labels:** `content` (documentation text/examples) vs `platform` (the docs site itself — build, search, navigation, styling). These are the only area labels; there are no per-subsystem labels.
- Kind is captured by the issue **type**, not labels — do not reintroduce `bug`/`enhancement` labels.
- **Milestones:** `v5.x` release milestones, named to match the `harper`/`harper-pro` repos. Tag an issue with the milestone of the release whose docs it must ship with, so docs work is tracked per release. Do not delete the empty release milestones — they are the canonical per-release buckets.
- See `CONTRIBUTING.md` (Reporting Issues) for the contributor-facing version.

For consistency with CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md, the issue types (Bug, Feature, Task) should be bolded as Bug / Feature / Task.
