Developer Name: Ankush Dharkar


Issue Ticket Number:-

Description:

Documentation only. No source, config or dependency changes.

CONTRIBUTING.md

  • Replaced 25 references to develop-ember with develop. That branch no longer exists on origin (git ls-remote --heads origin 'develop*' returns only develop), so every checkout, pull and rebase instruction in the guide failed as written.
  • Dropped the stale "since we are migrating this project from Vanilla JS to emberJS" narrative, which is what introduced the develop-ember checkout in the first place.

README.md

  • Removed Ember CLI from the list of things to install on your machine. ember-cli is a devDependency (6.9.0), so pnpm install already provides it, and listing it invited a second global copy that can drift from the pinned one.
  • Replaced the bare ember serve / ember test / ember build commands with the pnpm scripts that already exist. The bare commands only worked if you had followed the incorrect prerequisite above.
  • Documented pnpm dev, which runs the dev server together with the HTTPS proxy on port 443 and was not mentioned anywhere.
  • Added the pnpm native binary pitfall next to the existing install guidance: the npm package ships a placeholder that only becomes the native binary when its install script runs, so a skipped or denied build silently drops every pnpm command onto the Node path with no error shown outside an interactive terminal.

No screenshot: this PR changes only Markdown files.

Verified locally with the repo's own tooling:

pnpm run lint    exit 0   lint:css, lint:hbs, lint:format, lint:js all green

lint:format is the Prettier check that covers Markdown, so the rendered docs are format-clean.

Note for the reviewer: #1173 (moving the pnpm pin to 12) also touches README.md in the same region. If this PR merges first, I will rebase that branch on top and remove the paragraph that would otherwise be duplicated.

CONTRIBUTING referenced develop-ember in 25 places. That branch no longer
exists on origin, so every checkout, pull and rebase instruction in the
guide failed as written. Point them at develop and drop the stale Vanilla
JS to Ember migration narrative that introduced it.

README listed Ember CLI as a machine prerequisite even though ember-cli is
a devDependency, and told contributors to run bare ember commands that only
work with a global install. Use the existing pnpm scripts instead, and
document pnpm dev, which runs the dev server with the HTTPS proxy and was
not mentioned anywhere.

Also record the pnpm native binary pitfall next to the existing install
guidance: the npm package ships a placeholder that only becomes the native
binary when its install script runs, so a skipped or denied build silently
falls back to running pnpm through Node.

Closes #1172

Raised in review on #1174. That line was already being changed to point at
develop, so the pre-existing misspelling is corrected in the same place.
