Closes #19.

What

CONTRIBUTING.md:17 had the same Anthropic-only framing as the README install line caught in #9 and fixed in #10:

Before: "You'll need an `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` to actually run her."

Contributors with an OpenAI / Gemini / DeepSeek / Ollama setup walked away thinking they had to sign up for Anthropic specifically before they could even start working on the project.

Change

- You'll need an \`ANTHROPIC_API_KEY\` to actually run her. Put it in \`~/.lisa/config.env\`. See [README](./README.md#install).
+ You'll need a key for at least one LLM provider to actually run her. Anthropic is the default — but \`--model gpt-4o\`, \`--model deepseek-chat\`, or \`LISA_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1\` (Ollama) all work for development too. Put your key(s) in \`~/.lisa/config.env\`. See [README](./README.md#install) and [docs/PROVIDERS.md](./docs/PROVIDERS.md) for the full list.

Scope

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

CONTRIBUTING.md opened its Quick start with "You'll need an
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY" — the same Anthropic-only framing that was caught
in the README install line and fixed in #10. Contributors who run on
OpenAI / Gemini / DeepSeek / Ollama walked away thinking they had to
sign up for Anthropic before they could even start.

Mirror the README's new wording: any of the 20+ supported providers
works for development too. Anthropic stays as the default model.

Closes #19
