Pull request overview
Updates the repository’s labeling documentation to make PR labeling rules explicit: PRs should carry only a single ownership label (filigran team or community), while type/area/workflow labels are issue-only (with a dependency-bot exception).
Changes:
- Tightened CONTRIBUTING conventions to state PRs are ownership-labeled only (with Renovate/Dependabot dependency-label exception).
- Reworded LABELS.md to explicitly prohibit non-ownership labels on PRs and mark area labels as issue-only.
- Updated ownership label descriptions in
.github/labels.ymlto emphasize PR ownership labeling.
