Syncplay_Code_Contribution_Guide.md

Please use the above draft markdown file, especially if you are going to be using ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot etc. to help with Syncplay software development. It is important that any AI-generated code is thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it does what it is supposed to and doesn't make random other changes.

Other reference documents include

• Explanation/discussion of intended sync behaviour (playlists, play/pause, seeking, etc) #315
• https://syncplay.pl/about/development/
• https://syncplay.pl/guide/install/

Not sure if you are using Claude for your PRs @hex110 but if you are then you may find this of interest. Feel free to post a revised version if you make tweaks you find helpful.

Thanks Et0h for putting this guide together, and for including the other documents as well. I only saw a few of them before, so it was helpful to go through all of them.

I apologize for not being as transparent with my usage of Claude Code as I should; and I really appreciate you taking the time to write this to help me and any future contributors out. I've audited my open PRs, and will soon come with changes which address wherever I didn't follow the standards. I'll be reviewing the code changes to make sure they follow the guidelines to the best of my abilities.
