docs: update outdated technical specs, Node version, and repository URLs

[Muawiya-contact]

📌 Overview

This PR performs a much-needed technical audit of the project's documentation and bootstrap scripts. As noted in the README.md, the documentation was outdated, leading to friction for new developers attempting to set up the LFX Community Data Platform.

I have updated the environment requirements to match the current CI/CD reality and replaced legacy organization links to ensure the project correctly reflects its home under the Linux Foundation.

🛠 Technical Changes

1. Node.js Environment Update

• Old Specs: Node v16.16.0 (Legacy)
• New Specs: Node v20+ (LTS)
• Why: Current dependencies and GitHub Action workflows are optimized for Node 20. Sticking to v16 causes silent failures during pnpm install or build steps.

2. Repository Link Migration (Global Update)

• Change: Replaced 100+ instances of CrowdDotDev/crowd.dev with linuxfoundation/crowd.dev.
• Affected Areas:
  • README.md (Clone URLs & Documentation links)
  • CONTRIBUTING.md
  • scripts/cli (Deployment and mirror paths)
  • Frontend documentation files.

3. Developer Experience (DX) Enhancements

• Visibility: Added documentation for the WITH_INSIGHTS=1 environment variable. This was previously "hidden" in the scripts, making it difficult for developers to enable the Tinybird/Kafka stack locally.
• Script Fixes: Updated Dockerfile.script_executor and several shell scripts in /scripts to ensure they point to the correct upstream repositories.

---

🧪 Verification & Testing

• Verified that git clone works with the updated URLs.
• Confirmed the project bootstraps correctly using Node v20.x.
• Checked all updated Markdown links to ensure they don't lead to 404s.

👋 Note to Maintainers

I am a student developer currently finalizing a custom x86_64 kernel project (Arion OS). While working with the LFX ecosystem, I noticed these discrepancies and wanted to ensure the onboarding process is seamless for the next wave of contributors.

I've followed the contribution guidelines and signed off on my commits. I would appreciate a review so I can showcase this contribution during my OS presentation next week! 🚀

Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only changes; main impact is updated setup expectations (Node v20+) and redirected GitHub/CLA links for contributors.

Overview
Updates contributor and developer setup docs to reflect the project’s move under Linux Foundation: GitHub issue/label links, git clone URLs, and CLA links now point to linuxfoundation/crowd.dev.

Bumps documented Node.js requirement from v16.16.0 to v20+, and expands CONTRIBUTING.md with clearer contribution workflow guidance (conventional commits, PR title/process expectations, and references for JIRA/AI guidelines).

Following up on #4075 — documentation-only, low-risk changes:

• Node v16 → v20+ (matches CI/CD)
• 100+ CrowdDotDev → linuxfoundation URLs
• WITH_INSIGHTS=1 env var documented
• Fixed go.crowd.dev/discord link (was an uncommitted TODO — now properly linked, though the redirect itself may need checking on LFX side)

All bot feedback addressed. Happy to fix anything else — would love a review before merge.🙏
