Set up separate contributor tracking for each sub-project:
- book/.all-contributorsrc - Book content contributors
- kits/.all-contributorsrc - Hardware kit contributors
- labs/.all-contributorsrc - Lab exercise contributors
- tinytorch/.all-contributorsrc - Framework contributors
Each project now has:
- Its own .all-contributorsrc config file
- Contributors section in README with All Contributors format
- Project-specific contribution types in the recognition guide
- Cheatsheet in CONTRIBUTING.md (where applicable)
Added @AmirAlasady as first TinyTorch contributor for bug report #1122.
Usage: Comment on any issue/PR with:
@all-contributors please add @username for bug, code, doc, or ideas
Lab links using @sec-... cross-references were not resolving in
markdown links, causing 404 errors. Replaced with relative file paths.
Also clarified the distinction between XIAO ESP32S3 Sense (Vision/Sound)
and XIAOML Kit (Vision/Sound/Motion via expansion board IMU) throughout
the kits documentation for consistency.

Getting Started:
- Restructured as step-by-step guide (Select → Setup → Choose Lab → Start)
- Added textbook connection section for academic context
- Clearer prerequisite expectations
Platforms:
- Renamed title from "Hardware Kits" to "Hardware Platforms" (avoid site title collision)
- Removed system requirements (moved to IDE Setup where they belong)
- Focused purely on hardware specifications and comparisons
IDE Setup:
- Added System Requirements section (moved from Platforms)
- Streamlined introduction
- Now contains all setup-related prerequisites in one place
Style:
- Improved carousel caption bar legibility (bolder text, larger font)
Replaced old content files with new streamlined organization:
- getting-started.qmd: Concise hardware selection and lab navigation
- platforms.qmd: Detailed hardware specs and comparisons

Removed old files:
- ide_setup.qmd (replaced by ide-setup.qmd)
- kits.qmd (content moved to platforms.qmd)
- labs.qmd (content redistributed)
Getting Started is now action-oriented rather than pedagogical.
