Rewrite README to remove AI writing patterns (em dashes, promotional language, vague claims). Make Quick Start section explicit about default credentials and forced password change. Add Contributing section linking to CONTRIBUTING.md, developer guide, and translation guide. Create CONTRIBUTING.md with issue guidelines, PR workflow, commit conventions, and development setup. Add developer guide (dev setup, project structure, how to add a tool) and translation guide (how the i18n system works, step-by-step for adding a language) to VitePress docs. Register both new pages in the docs sidebar.
