* feat(docs): Initial draft of new contributing policies
* feat(ci): defer issue-gate closes to a scheduled sweeper
Addresses review feedback on #1041.
The gate now reads GitHub's resolved closing references
(closingIssuesReferences) instead of regex-parsing the pull request body,
so an issue linked through the sidebar Development panel counts, and a
bare `#123` mention no longer does.
It also no longer closes on the pull request event. It labels and
explains; pr-sweeper.yml re-checks every six hours and closes only what is
still failing 72 hours after the notice. That re-check is load-bearing:
linking an issue via the sidebar fires no webhook, so an event-only gate
could never observe a contributor complying that way. The sweeper also
closes drafts from outside the org after 30 days.
The shared check lives in .github/scripts/issue-gate.js so both workflows
run identical logic, with a dependency-free self-check wired into static
analysis. Its one regression guard: author_association CONTRIBUTOR stays
gated, since GitHub assigns it to anyone who has previously committed.

* chore(codeowners): drop the third reviewer from most areas
Discussed with @akattelu. Also reassigns SECURITY.md to @Rajat-Ahuja1997
and strips trailing whitespace from the deployment block.

* docs(v2): port the issue gate policy into the v2 contributing guide
The v2 guide is still published (v2.5.1 in docs.json) but carried no
mention of the issue gate, so a contributor reading it would not learn
that a pull request needs an approved issue until the bot labelled theirs.
Ports the policy, both linking routes, and the gate's place among the
automated checks, keeping the v2 guide's own structure and unwrapped
prose rather than importing the v3 rewrite wholesale.
