Summary

Rewrites CONTRIBUTING.md and updates README.md to redirect contributors to the private staging repo foundry-samples-pr.

Changes

CONTRIBUTING.md — replaced entirely:

  • External/community users: directed to open issues for bugs and suggestions
  • Microsoft contributors: 3-step flow to join the org → access the private repo → follow its CONTRIBUTING.md
  • The foundry-samples-pr link is introduced after the join-org step, with a note explaining the 404 they'd see otherwise
  • CLA and Code of Conduct sections retained (condensed)
  • All stale azure-ai-foundry/doc-samples references removed

README.md — Contributing section updated to match (issues welcome, contributors redirected to CONTRIBUTING.md)

Context

The private repo foundry-samples-pr is the staging repo where all sample contributions are submitted. A nightly sync publishes content to this public repo. The private repo has its own detailed CONTRIBUTING.md (see PR #46) covering access setup, branching, validation, etc.

This public-side CONTRIBUTING.md is intentionally lightweight — it redirects internal contributors to the private repo rather than duplicating instructions.

Rewrite CONTRIBUTING.md to explain the private-to-public workflow:
- External users: open issues for bugs/suggestions
- Microsoft contributors: join microsoft-foundry org, then contribute
  via the private foundry-samples-pr staging repo

Update README.md contributing section to match.

The previous fork-based workflow and stale azure-ai-foundry/doc-samples
references are removed.
