Summary

Only changed the title from "HelixDB Contributors Guide" to "Contributing to HelixDB"

Critical Issues:

• PR description claims extensive updates (added "How to Contribute", "Prerequisites and Development Setup", "Testing Guidelines", "Communication Channels", "Code Review Process" sections) but none of these changes are present
• Issue [Task]: Contributors.md update #656 reported outdated directory paths - these remain unfixed
• /helixdb/ should be /helix-db/
• graph_core/ doesn't exist, should be traversal_core/
• connection/ directory doesn't exist in helix_gateway/
• thread_pool/ has been renamed to worker_pool/
• File contains accidental text "message.txt" and "5 KB" at the end

Recommendation: The PR does not fulfill its stated purpose or address issue #656. The file needs substantial corrections to match the actual codebase structure.
