Correct the contributor docs' outdated Node requirement, dependency version, content/cache paths, translation and support links, and missing style-guide reference. Add the fork remote required by the existing clone/pull/push commands and describe what check-all actually does.

Remove the obsolete claim that ES6 is new. Replace the example that incorrectly treats standardized class fields as experimental with an experimental do expression and a standard if statement. Preserve the existing don't/do example structure and writing conventions.

The package's Node engine range now matches Next.js 15.1.12. This PR does not change CI runtimes.

Validation: yarn ci-check passed on the existing Node 20.20.2 runtime. Tested the documented Git workflow using temporary local repositories. Verified that the negative example requires experimental parser support and that the standard example renders both states correctly. Checked the proposal's status against TC39's current proposal list, plus the Node engine range, original CI workflows, referenced paths, and whitespace.
