* docs: say "security fixes only" for v1 and unpin the PR-template links
The v1 maintenance policy was stated two different ways across the docs —
"security fixes only" in CONTRIBUTORS.md, "bug fixes" in README.md. The
#1819 PR triage told 120 contributors that v1 is security-fixes-only, so
that is the wording we keep.
Also make the PR template's two CONTRIBUTORS.md links relative instead of
pinned to blob/main/. `main` is release-only, so those resolved against
the last released tree rather than the branch the reader is on.
The remaining AGENTS.md occurrences are left alone deliberately: PR #1866
rewrites those exact lines and lands first.

* docs: drop the README change; #1866 owns that line
The "Repo status" callout edit here patched `(bug fixes only)` →
`(security fixes only)` on the callout as it exists on v2/main. But #1866
replaces that entire callout, because the surrounding sentence is false today:
it still says "The `main` branch is the legacy v1 implementation", when `main`
now holds the latest released v2.
So this edit both collides with #1866 on the same line and, taken on its own,
would preserve the false statement while correcting only the parenthetical.
#1866 already sets the v1 policy wording to "security fixes only" across
AGENTS.md and README (ee020ff2), so nothing is lost by dropping it here.
This PR is now exactly its intended half: the two branch-pinned
`blob/main/CONTRIBUTORS.md` links in .github/pull_request_template.md, made
relative. That file is untouched by #1866, so the two PRs no longer overlap on
any line.

* docs: add CONTRIBUTORS.md issues-only policy (#1517)
Document the contribution policy: we accept issues, not pull requests.
Maintainers handle design and implementation through a prompt-driven
workflow. Contributors who have already built a change locally should
share the prompt they used rather than a diff.
Cross-reference the policy from AGENTS.md.

* docs: add PR template redirecting external authors to issues-only policy (#1517)
GitHub auto-populates pull_request_template.md into every new PR body,
so it steers would-be external PR authors to CONTRIBUTORS.md before they
submit a diff.

* docs: drop version-board details from CONTRIBUTORS.md (#1517)
The policy takes effect after v2/main merges into main, leaving a single
line of development. Tell contributors to open a well-formed issue rather
than routing them to per-version project boards.

* docs: add version-board/label table to CONTRIBUTORS.md (closes#1595)
Completes requirement #2 of #1517: a table mapping each active version to
its base branch, project board, and version label, plus a "Label by
version" note mirroring AGENTS.md.

* docs: drop v1.5 from CONTRIBUTORS.md, invite deeper contribution (#1517)
Review feedback on PR #1604:
- Remove the v1.5 row/bullet from the version table — v1.5 was an internal
intermediate branch that external contributors never saw, so surfacing it
in an outward-facing doc is noise. The table is now v1 / v2 only.
- Add a "Want to work on the Inspector with us?" section pointing at the MCP
Contributor Discord (#inspector-dev) and the community calls, framing the
issues-only rule as being about unsolicited patches rather than a closed
door, with supervised work as the path toward maintainership.
- Link that section from "Why this policy exists", and add the same Discord
pointer to the PR template.

* docs: drop project-board links from CONTRIBUTORS.md (#1517)
The org project boards aren't visible to anyone outside the organization, so
linking them in an outward-facing doc points contributors at a 404. The
version table is now base branch + label only, and the PR template names the
version labels instead of "the appropriate version board".

* docs: use post-runbook branch names (v1/main, main) (#1517)
This doc will be read after the branch runbook completes, when v1 lives on
v1/main and v2 is the default main. Update the version table, the label-by-
version line, and the PR template's label hint + CONTRIBUTORS.md links
accordingly.
