## Summary
Adds a PR template at `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` encoding the 6
hard gates and section scaffolding from the 2026-04-24 engineering
announcement ("What a Good Pull Request Looks Like"), and lightly
updates `CONTRIBUTING.md` to point at it. The repo had no PR template;
recent PR descriptions have been inconsistent in structure and ticket
linking.
Resolves: _(driven by the 2026-04-24 engineering announcement; no Linear
ticket but happy to file one if preferred)_
## Design decisions
- Single template, not a multi-template directory.
## Scope
In scope:
- `.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md` (new)
- `CONTRIBUTING.md` "Pull Request Guidelines" section (additive update;
existing 3 bullets preserved)
Not in scope:
- CI enforcement of template fields or ticket-linking
## Author checklist
- [x] `make check`/`make test` n/a — no Python touched; pre-commit hooks
pass
- [x] Reviewed my own diff top-to-bottom
- [x] I'd merge it myself
