Raise the documented Node.js minimum to 18.12.0.
The lockfile resolves @wordpress/scripts 31.5.0, which declares Node.js >=18.12.0. Node.js 14 does not meet that requirement, so the current prerequisite can direct contributors to use an unsupported runtime.

🌐 Web query:
site:getcomposer.org/doc Composer install existing package path repository symlink false vendor copy lock file install update
💡 Result:
To install an existing local package into `vendor/`, define a **path repository** and require the package by its Composer name:
```json
{
"repositories": [
{
"type": "path",
"url": "../packages/my-package",
"options": { "symlink": false }
}
],
"require": {
"my-vendor/my-package": "*"
}
}
```
`"symlink": false` tells Composer to mirror (copy) the local package rather than symlink it. The package directory needs its own `composer.json`. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md?utm_source=openai))
Then run `composer update my-vendor/my-package` to resolve it and write/update `composer.lock`. After that, `composer install` installs the locked version; it uses the exact versions in the lock file rather than resolving newer ones. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md?utm_source=openai))
So if you change the local package and want the copied version refreshed, run `composer update my-vendor/my-package`—`install` alone follows the lock file.

site:getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md composer reinstall package command uninstalls reinstalls package event scripts Composer version
💡 Result:
Run:
```bash
composer reinstall vendor/package
```
Composer’s current CLI docs say `reinstall` uninstalls and reinstalls the named installed package; it also supports multiple names and wildcards. This is useful for restoring altered files or changing install type with `--prefer-install`. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md))
**Events:** The docs list `pre-package-uninstall` / `post-package-uninstall` and `pre-package-install` / `post-package-install` events. Since `reinstall` performs an uninstall followed by an install, those are the relevant package events—but the docs don’t explicitly guarantee the precise event sequence for `reinstall`. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/scripts.md))
The CLI page is the current documentation, but it doesn’t specify which Composer release introduced `reinstall` or establish behavior for a particular installed version.

🌐 Web query:
Composer official path repository changed local files composer install existing mirrored package does not update composer update path repository source changed vendor copy
💡 Result:
Yes—**with a mirrored path repository, edits in the local package directory do not automatically appear in `vendor/`.** Composer copies the package into `vendor`; the copy can remain stale until Composer reinstalls it.
- **Best for active local development:** configure the path repository to symlink:
```json
{
"repositories": [{
"type": "path",
"url": "../my-package",
"options": { "symlink": true }
}]
}
```
Then changes in `../my-package` show up immediately in `vendor/`. Composer’s default is to symlink when possible and mirror otherwise. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/05-repositories.md?utm_source=openai))
- **If you need a mirror:** use `composer update vendor/package` to refresh the package from the path repository. If it still keeps the old copy, remove `vendor/vendor/package` and run that update again; Composer’s plugin-development guidance specifically recommends removing `vendor` and updating when using copies. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/plugins.md?utm_source=openai))
`composer install` follows the exact package versions in `composer.lock`; it is not the command for resolving a changed package version. ([getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/doc/01-basic-usage.md?utm_source=openai)) If your edits are only source-file changes and the package is actually symlinked, you generally don’t need either command.

Refresh the copied Harbor package before running Strauss.
With symlink: false, Composer copies Harbor into vendor/. If Strauss leaves that copy installed, composer install can keep the copy stale, so Strauss may prefix old Harbor code. Reinstall Harbor from the path repository before composer install.

Summary
Adds developer documentation split out from the declined rebranding PR: #175
Despite the declination, the contributor workflow and partner-plugin testing guides are still valuable on their own. This PR contains documentation only: no PHP/JS code, no branding changes, no built assets.
