The docs landing page links to ./contributing.md, but the contributing page is configured with permalink: /contributing/ and is also referenced in navigation via /contributing/. To avoid a broken link in the generated site (pretty URLs), link to /contributing/ (or use the site’s baseurl-aware linking convention) instead of the source .md file.

# Contributing to Simple Chat

This page mirrors the repository root contribution guide and should stay aligned with the root `CONTRIBUTING.md` file.

Two issues here: (1) The page claims it mirrors root CONTRIBUTING.md, but the referenced links differ from the root guide (so it’s not actually mirrored). Either align the content/links with CONTRIBUTING.md or soften the statement. (2) The three links use relative .md paths; with Jekyll permalinks these often won’t resolve as expected in the built site. Prefer the site URLs (e.g., /setup_instructions/, /setup_instructions_manual/, and the appropriate /explanation/.../ permalink) or the repo’s standard link helpers.

Using only >= 2.9.0 can allow Bundler to resolve to a future major version of addressable that may introduce breaking changes and/or conflict with github-pages constraints. Consider constraining to the intended major series (e.g., ~> 2.9 or >= 2.9.0, < 3.0) while still addressing the security concern.
