What

Convert the four top-level AsciiDoc documents to GitHub-Flavored Markdown so that links render correctly on GitHub (per #6023):

  • README.adoc -> README.md
  • CONTRIBUTING.adoc -> CONTRIBUTING.md
  • RELEASE.adoc -> RELEASE.md
  • STYLEGUIDE.adoc -> STYLEGUIDE.md

Cross-references updated in:

  • DESCRIPTION.md
  • plutus-benchmark/marlowe/README.md
  • .github/copilot-instructions.md

scripts/check-broken-links.sh no longer targets *.adoc.

How

  • Initial conversion via downdoc.
  • Manual cleanup of converter artifacts:
    • {outfilesuffix} placeholders replaced with .md.
    • README title repaired from # URL[label] to # [label](URL).
    • Unbalanced bold/italics around the CONTRIBUTING link fixed.
  • Repo grep confirms no remaining .adoc / asciidoc references except an unrelated third-party URL inside doc/notes/multi-currency/bibliography.bib.

Notes for reviewers

  • Section anchors used in the new README (e.g. #user-documentation) match the converted heading slugs and resolve on GitHub.
  • Markdown was generated offline, so a quick eyeball of rendering on the PR page is recommended.
  • This PR is docs-only and does not touch code, build, or release tooling.

Closes #6023

Convert top-level AsciiDoc documentation to GitHub-Flavored Markdown so
links render correctly on GitHub.

* README.adoc      -> README.md
* CONTRIBUTING.adoc -> CONTRIBUTING.md
* RELEASE.adoc     -> RELEASE.md
* STYLEGUIDE.adoc  -> STYLEGUIDE.md

Update cross-references in:
* DESCRIPTION.md
* plutus-benchmark/marlowe/README.md
* .github/copilot-instructions.md

Drop *.adoc target from scripts/check-broken-links.sh.

Conversion done with downdoc; output reviewed and adjusted for
asciidoc-specific markup (link:[...], {outfilesuffix}, anchor-style
headings).
