Remove the four-space indentation from the contribution guidance.

Four-space indentation makes the content in lines 43–56, 60–72, 76–83, and 97 indented Markdown code blocks. The lists, links, and horizontal rule in these ranges do not render as Markdown. Remove the leading four spaces from those lines.

In @.github/CONTRIBUTING.md around lines 43 - 97, Remove the leading four-space
indentation from the contribution guidance sections around the “Before
reporting,” “Suggesting Features,” “Your First Contribution,” and “Commit
Messages” headings so lists, links, and the horizontal rule render as Markdown
rather than code blocks. Preserve the existing text and structure.

Remove the duplicate optional placeholders.

The commit template already describes Body: and Footer:. The escaped [optional body] and [optional footer] lines introduce a second, inconsistent template. Remove them or consolidate the guidance into one example.
