Pull request overview

Updates the repository’s README contribution guidance to reflect the post–TypeScript 6.0 state, clarifying what kinds of changes are accepted here and directing most work elsewhere.

Changes:

  • Adds a “NOTE” under Contribute describing the limited scope of accepted fixes in this repo.
  • Directs most bug fixes to the typescript-go repository and notes feature work is paused until 7.0.
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

README.md:37

  • The README links to https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-go, but CONTRIBUTING.md points contributors to https://github.com/microsoft/typescript-go. Please use a single canonical URL/casing across docs to avoid confusion and ensure consistent linking.
Most bug fixes should be submitted to the [typescript-go](https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript-go) repository.

The new bullet list is indented (two leading spaces before *), but other lists in this README are not. Consider removing the extra indentation to keep Markdown formatting consistent within the file.

Typo: "behavorial" should be "behavioral".

This guidance is inconsistent with CONTRIBUTING.md, which currently says all code changes should go to the typescript-go repo and that this repo only accepts critical 6.0 fixes. Consider aligning the wording here with CONTRIBUTING.md (and/or linking to it) so contributors get a single clear instruction.

This issue also appears on line 37 of the same file.

Feature additions and behavioral changes are not currently being accepted in this repository.
