Rewrites the README for the current Forest positioning (operational back office for regulated companies, v2 agents, AI/MCP) and adds a CONTRIBUTING guide.

• Pitch, real quick start, requirements, documentation links to docs.forest.app
• Architecture diagram and header banner as light/dark SVGs in assets/, generated from the brand toolchain (text outlined, no embedded font, no external bucket)
• Removes the Discourse badge and community section: community.forestadmin.com is being sunset and redirected to https://forest.app/forms/support
• CONTRIBUTING links to the organization SECURITY and CODE_OF_CONDUCT in ForestAdmin/.github (separate PR)

Note

Rewrite README for current Forest positioning and add CONTRIBUTING guide

Replaces the legacy product overview, feature catalog, screenshots, and community links in README.md with a Ruby-agent-focused README covering Rails installation, environment variables, requirements, architecture, and documentation links.

• Adds CONTRIBUTING.md covering issue and security reporting, Ruby/bundle setup, test commands, RuboCop usage, Conventional Commits, and PR steps.
• Adds light/dark header and architecture SVG assets in assets/ referenced by the README.
• Risk: legacy README sections (feature catalog, screenshots, community links) are removed; check for external links pointing to those anchors.
