Hi! I’m a CS student and new contributor. I’d like to submit a PR to fix an issue in growthbook/growthbook. We’re two students working together, and we want to follow your normal contribution process. A few quick questions: 1. Do you accept PRs from first-time contributors? 2. Is it ok to “claim” an issue by commenting on GitHub, or is there a preferred way? 3. Are there any recommended issues/labels for beginners (e.g., “good first issue” / “help wanted”)? 4. Any must-follow guidelines for tests/CI or repo setup? I was looking at issues like #4978 and #5053 — are these good candidates to start with? Thanks!

1. Yes! 2. I wouldn't claim an issue. If the issue is clear enough, I'd just work on it and submit a PR. You can always put your PR in draft mode to indicate that you're working on it. 3. Check the labels—there's a "good first issue one" 4. Check out the CONTRIBUTING.md file 5. Hard to say for sure about whether those are good candidates. I'd first determine whether the issues still exist and then try to estimate the complexity of a fix, and then go from there.
