[meta] Contributor onboarding roadmap

[abhicris]

Welcome, contributors

This is the contributor onboarding roadmap for resolver — a high-performance intent solver in Rust that competes across UniswapX, Across, and CoW Protocol.

Every issue below is scoped to be doable by a motivated outside contributor — no private context required, objective acceptance criteria.

The ladder

Tier 1 — good first issue (2–6 hours):

• Issues labeled good first issue. Topics: CoW decoder, golden-file tests, chain coverage hardening, intent pool + monitor.

Tier 2 — help wanted (1–3 days):

• Issues labeled help wanted. Topics: benchmark harness proving the 10x-vs-JS claim, profitability evaluator.

How to claim

1. Comment "I'd like to work on this" on the issue.
2. Open a PR within ~1 week — ping us if blocked.
3. cargo test && cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings are required gates.

Learn the codebase

• PR fix+feat: unbreak CI + add Across V3 cross-chain decoder (Arbitrum-preferring) #3 (fix+feat: unbreak CI + add Across V3 cross-chain decoder) is the best single PR to read — shows the decoder + test pattern.
• src/intents/ — all protocol decoders live here; adding a new one is a self-contained task.
• src/intents/types.rs::Intent — the normalized intent shape every decoder produces.
