Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the `no useless undefined` rule in `rules/no useless undefined.js`. The rule currently removes `undefined` arguments from function calls, but for `Promise.resolve(undefined)`, removing `undefined` changes the return type from `Promise<undefined>` to `Promise<void>`. The rule should be updated to preserve `undefined` when it affects the type semantics, possibly by checking if the function's signature expects `undefined` or if the context involves `Promise`. Review the rule's logic for removing `undefined` and add an exception for `Promise.resolve` and similar cases where `undefined` is significant.
