Contributor guide

Research direction
Choose either Node.js with Express or Python with FastAPI. Set up the project structure in /backend. Add a health check route (e.g., GET /health) and a version info route (e.g., GET /version). Use environment variables for configuration via dotenv (Node) or pydantic (Python). Integrate linters like ESLint (Node) or flake8 (Python) and formatters like Prettier or black.
