Pull request overview
This PR updates the repository’s “Good First Issue” GitHub issue template by adding YAML frontmatter (so GitHub treats it as a selectable template) and restructuring the body to better guide maintainers in writing newcomer-friendly issues.
Changes:
- Added YAML frontmatter to register the issue template and auto-apply a “good first issue” label.
- Replaced the previous explanatory text with structured sections (tasks, acceptance criteria, code pointers, resources, and workflow/help guidance).
