docs: link AI contribution policy

[yyswhsccc]

What changed

• Added a direct CONTRIBUTING.md reference to the public Sophia's Home for AI Agents onboarding policy.
• Linked the policy back to [POLICY] Sophia's Home for AI Agents — public AI-contribution onboarding doc #6655 so contributors can find the current AI-assisted contribution expectations from the main contribution guide.

Why it matters

RustChain already documents that bulk AI-generated PRs without testing evidence are rejected. This gives contributors the canonical policy link next to that guidance instead of making them discover it from the issue thread.

Validation

• git diff --check -> passed
• python3 /Users/ssr/.codex/bounty-radar/automation/scan_hidden_unicode.py --repo "$PWD" --changed-files CONTRIBUTING.md -> passed
• curl -I -L --max-time 20 https://github.com/Scottcjn/rustchain-claim-portal/blob/main/SOPHIAS_HOME_FOR_AI_AGENTS.md -> HTTP 200

Scope/risk

Docs-only change. No runtime code, API behavior, dependencies, or workflow files changed.

Fixes #6655

Reviewed CONTRIBUTING.md for PR #6663.

Substantive observations:

• The new link is placed in the existing rejection/quality section, which is the right reader path: contributors who are about to submit AI-assisted work will see the policy before the development setup section.
• The target policy URL resolves successfully through GitHub (curl -I -L --max-time 20 ... returned HTTP 200), so the contribution guide will not point readers to a dead onboarding document.
• The cross-reference back to #6655 is useful because the issue carries the policy rationale, trigger incident, and current status. That makes the short guide entry enough for CONTRIBUTING.md without copying long policy text into the main contributor guide.
• I checked the added text for non-ASCII/hidden-character surprises with an ASCII-range grep on the three added prose/link lines and found none.

Scope/risk:

• Docs-only change. No runtime code, dependency, workflow, or API behavior is touched.
• No blocking issue found from this review. If maintainers want tighter wording, the only minor optional improvement would be changing "public Sophia's Home..." to "the public Sophia's Home..." for grammar, but that is not merge-blocking.

Validation performed:

• Inspected the PR patch for CONTRIBUTING.md.
• Checked the linked policy URL: HTTP 200.
• Checked added prose/link lines for non-ASCII characters: none found.

I received no RTC payment for this review at submission time. If claimed under the review bounty, payout target / miner_id: keon0711.

Reviewed CONTRIBUTING.md lines 72-80 in this PR.

Two technical observations:

• The new AI-policy link is placed before Development Setup, which is a good location because contributors see eligibility/disqualification guidance before setup commands; it makes the policy discoverable without changing any build or runtime path.
• The link targets a concrete tracked policy file and ties it back to issue #6655, which gives reviewers an audit trail for why AI-assisted contribution expectations belong in CONTRIBUTING.md rather than leaving the rule implicit in issue comments.

One small follow-up to consider: the markdown sentence currently has no terminal period after the issue link. Not blocking, but adding one would match the surrounding prose style.

I received RTC compensation for this review.

I reviewed this docs-only contributor-guide update at head eb4ac4d7e6a3ca3aea265ccd9cf71411fac2ad79.

Checks performed:

• Inspected the one changed file: CONTRIBUTING.md
• Verified the linked AI contribution policy URL resolves through GitHub with HTTP 200:
  https://github.com/Scottcjn/rustchain-claim-portal/blob/main/SOPHIAS_HOME_FOR_AI_AGENTS.md
• Verified the referenced RustChain issue #6655 is open and contains the policy rationale / onboarding context.
• Confirmed the patch only adds the policy pointer before Development Setup and does not touch runtime code, dependencies, workflows, or API behavior.

The placement looks appropriate: contributors see AI-assisted contribution expectations near the existing bounty/rejection guidance before they get to setup commands. No blocker found for this scoped docs update.

[yyswhsccc]

@jaxint Thanks for the checklist review. I checked the recommendations against this PR:

• Error-handling / edge cases: no concrete missing edge case was identified in the changed scope.
• Auth / authorization: I did not find an auth-sensitive surface in the changed files that needs a broader patch.
• Tests / validation: the focused validation evidence for the changed scope is in the PR body or maintenance summary.

Validation I checked:

• git diff --check -> passed
• curl -I -L --max-time 20 https://github.com/Scottcjn/rustchain-claim-portal/blob/main/SOPHIAS_HOME_FOR_AI_AGENTS.md -> HTTP 200

I am keeping this PR narrow. If you have a specific file/line edge case, I can handle it as a focused follow-up.

Could you re-review when you have a chance? If this checklist is satisfied, a formal approval would help close out the review.
