Contributor guide

Research direction
Find the existing window settings code in the repository, likely in the settings model or window management components. Look for how other settings like 'launchMode' or 'initialPosition' are implemented. Add a new setting 'minimumWindowSize' or 'disableWindowResizing' with appropriate default values and integrate it into the window resizing logic.
