Problem

CONTRIBUTING.md's Good first issues section (added in PR #140) enumerated three starter issues: #77, #75, and #80. All three are now closed, and there are currently zero open issues carrying the good first issue label — so the section linked readers to an empty label query and three dead-end issues.

Fix

Trim the section down to:

  • The label query link (kept, since it will surface future curated issues automatically)
  • The docs/typo sweep item (needs no issue, always available)
  • A pointer to the general open issues list as a fallback when the label query is empty

This follows recommendation 2 from the issue: rather than inventing new placeholder starter issues, the section now never enumerates completed work and stays accurate regardless of which issues currently carry the label.

Closes #209

CONTRIBUTING.md's Good first issues section enumerated #75, #77, and
#80, all of which are now closed, leaving new contributors with an
empty label query and three dead links. Trim the section to the
label query, the always-available docs/typo sweep, and a pointer to
the open issues list so it never goes stale when the curated issues
are resolved.

Fixes #209
