Summary

Adds a new "Documentation Pull Requests" section to CONTRIBUTING.md explaining that docs-only fixes should target master instead of development. This resolves the ambiguity raised in #221.

The root cause: the published docs on readthedocs.io always point to master, so a fix merged only into development either waits behind the next release or forces merging unstable code into master.

Changes

  • New ### Documentation Pull Requests subsection in the Documentation chapter
  • Explains why docs PRs target master (not development)
  • Provides a step-by-step snippet for checking out from master
  • Includes a note for mixed code+docs PRs (use development as usual)

Closes #221
