docs: clarify issue template requirements

[sainzs]

Context

Fixes #6115.

CONTRIBUTING.md did not explain what issue content is required when contributors open issues through gh, the API, or another path that bypasses the GitHub web UI templates. The repository workflows also link to CONTRIBUTING.md#issue-first-policy and CONTRIBUTING.md#pr-titles, but those headings did not exist.

Implementation

Updated CONTRIBUTING.md to:

• document the required fields for bug reports, feature requests, and questions
• list the recommended bug-report fields that help maintainers reproduce issues
• add explicit Issue First Policy and PR Titles headings so the workflow links resolve correctly

This keeps the fix documentation-only and aligns the guide with the existing issue templates and automation.

Screenshots

before	after
CONTRIBUTING.md had no issue-template requirements and no matching anchor headings	CONTRIBUTING.md documents the required fields and includes the referenced headings

How to Test

1. Open CONTRIBUTING.md.
2. Confirm it now documents the required fields for issue creation outside the GitHub web UI.
3. Confirm the headings Issue First Policy and PR Titles exist.
4. Confirm the workflow links in .github/workflows/pr-standards.yml now resolve to matching anchors.

WARNING: Documented extension command does not exist

The repo root package.json does not define an extension script, and there is no matching executable in the workspace, so bun run extension will fail immediately for contributors following this guide. This section should point to the existing VS Code launch configurations in .vscode/launch.json or to the real scripts under packages/kilo-vscode/package.json.
