Description and links

Cleaning up docs before this repo goes public. Two reader-facing docs referenced internal, non-existent-to-outsiders paths — dead links and internal process detail that don't mean anything (and look broken) to outside contributors.

Technical changes

  1. CONTRIBUTING.md: removed a dead link to a gitignored internal path and an internal story-number reference, kept the substance of the rule (grandfathered greps pending bulk-removal follow-up).
  2. CODE_REVIEW.md: removed a bullet describing symlinks into a sibling internal repo — internal-only detail, doesn't apply to how the public repo is laid out.

Considerations

Scope is deliberately narrow: reader-facing docs only (CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_REVIEW.md). There are other internal-story-provenance comments in a few test files (e.g. tests/source-grep-guard, tests/10-4-pdfcpu-0-12-1-bump) that reference the same internal tooling by name in doc comments — those are left as-is since they're not reader-facing and carry no functional dependency on the path. tests/open-source-docs/docs_test.go also has an active regression test guarding against exactly this kind of dead-link leak in README.md — kept, since it's doing its job.

How was this tested?

Docs-only change, no code affected.

What could go wrong?

Low risk — text-only edits, no behavior change.

Checklist

  • Tests pass locally (n/a, docs only)
  • I targeted the dev branch, not master
