Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the cause of 'access denied' error on Windows. Check if the binary was built correctly (e.g., missing execution permissions or being blocked by Windows Defender). Examine the release process and build scripts for Windows. Verify that the binary is a valid PE executable and not corrupted.
