❌ Gradle check result for 41d75b0: FAILURE Please examine the workflow log, locate, and copy-paste the failure(s) below, then iterate to green. Is the failure a flaky test unrelated to your change? |

Thanks for contributing @akshith30388! However, I'm not sure this PR is ready. It looks like it deletes most of the content from CONTRIBUTING.md, breaks the table of contents in README.md, and creates an extra file. Can you take another look? |
