✅ What

  • Adds cargo-nextest to the Prerequisites section of CONTRIBUTING.md with its install command

🤔 Why

  • just test runs cargo nextest run, but cargo-nextest wasn't listed as a prerequisite — an agent or developer setting up the repo for the first time would hit cargo: no such subcommand: nextest with no clear path forward

👩‍🔬 How to validate

  • Open CONTRIBUTING.md — expect cargo-nextest listed in the Prerequisites section
  • Expect an install command (cargo install cargo-nextest --locked) to be shown alongside it

Closes #92


Generated by Claude Code

#92

`just test` runs `cargo nextest run`, but CONTRIBUTING.md did not list
`cargo-nextest` as a required tool. An agent or developer setting up the
repo for the first time would encounter a confusing `cargo: no such
subcommand: nextest` error instead of a clear missing-prerequisite
message.

Added the entry alongside the other prerequisites with the canonical
install command (`cargo install cargo-nextest --locked`).
