This repo had no LICENSE file despite the README claiming "MIT, like everything else here," and no CONTRIBUTING.md or PR template. - LICENSE: single MIT, identical to pithead and rigforge (Copyright (c) 2026 Vijit Singh). One license for code and content, no CC-BY split. - CONTRIBUTING.md: Hugo dev/build/test flow, plus a plain inbound = MIT note (by contributing, your work is under the project's MIT License; you keep your copyright). No CLA and no signing bot — same lightweight model pithead uses. - .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md: CI checklist and a one-line MIT agreement. - README.md: replace the bare sign-off line with a License & contributing section linking the above.

Resolves #10: add the missing MIT LICENSE (matching the rest of the org) plus a lightweight, no-friction contribution setup.
What this adds
LICENSECopyright (c) 2026 Vijit Singh). One license for code and content — no CC-BY split. Backs the README's existing "MIT, like everything else here" line with a real file.CONTRIBUTING.md.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.mdREADME.mdNo CLA, no signing bot, no relicense/commercial language — deliberately kept simple for a solo-maintained MIT site. MIT already permits a commercial edition later if it's ever wanted; a CLA can be added at that point if actually needed.
