This is going to be hard without having interacted with at least one developer for finding shared ground

Hi! Thank you for your feedback.

I understand your point — I should have interacted with the team before opening the PR. I picked this up from issue #6492 with the intention of improving the onboarding experience for new contributors.

I’d really appreciate your guidance on whether this direction aligns with the project’s expectations, and what changes or structure you would prefer. I’m happy to revise the PR accordingly.

Thanks again for your time and support!
