Contributor Onboarding

Requested by @JayBeest in issue #4227: a first-run path for a contributor who has cloned the repo and wants to know am I current, does it build, does it pass, and what changed while I was away — without a wall of prose and without anything touching their working tree behind their back.

Invocation

Explicit-only. Loading this skill is not authority to fetch, pull, rebase, push, or write files. Every network or mutating step below is a separate action the contributor must ask for after reading the plan.
