Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the rule 'SINGLE CONSTRUCTOR SHOULD BE PRIMARY' in diktat's codebase, specifically the fix mechanism that converts a single constructor to primary. Check the logic for handling constructors with default parameters and super calls. Trace the failing transformation and verify the expected behavior.
