Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the WICG Observable API (https://github.com/WICG/observable) and explore how LiveStore's reactive model (based on SQLite and sync) could leverage or expose this API for observable data streams. Focus on understanding the Observable specification, identify integration points with LiveStore's existing architecture, and propose a design for implementation.
