This PR proposes several non-policy changes to the CONTRIBUTING.md file aimed at improving clarity, scannability, and tone, especially for new open-source contributors. The goal is to make the contribution process feel more welcoming and straightforward.

Specific Improvements
Improved Formatting: Added clearer hierarchy using updated Markdown headings (##, ###) and judicious bolding of key terms (like labels: good first issue, status: accepting pr) to help guide the reader's eye.

Enhanced Readability: Broke up dense paragraphs, primarily in the "Get Involved" and "Pull Requests" sections, into more digestible bulleted lists for better scannability.

Action-Oriented Language: Revised some headings and introductory text to use a more direct and active voice (e.g., from "Our Development Process" to "Our Development Process").

Code Conventions: Restructured the "Code Conventions" section to emphasize the "Look around" rule and clarify the role of Prettier and ESLint.

Versioned Docs Clarity: Made the distinction between the website/docs (next version) and website/versioned_docs (released versions) more explicit for documentation contributors.

These changes are purely textual and do not alter any established Docusaurus contribution policies, required steps, or technical information.
