🐇 I hopped through docs to tidy the trail,
Trimmed the branches where details prevail,
Pointed the way to one CONTRIBUTING tree,
Clearer paths for devs — hop on with me!

15-15: Trim one of these two intro sentences.

Line 15 and Line 33 are effectively saying the same thing, so keeping both feels redundant. I’d keep one and drop the other to make the page read cleaner.

Also applies to: 33-33

In `@docs/manual/develop.md` at line 15, Remove the duplicated intro sentence:
locate the sentence "This guide covers technical details for active developers."
and the near-duplicate later in the document and delete one of them so only a
single concise intro remains; ensure the remaining sentence reads naturally with
the paragraph that follows and update surrounding whitespace/punctuation if
needed.

- Around line 11-13: The new onboarding URL in docs/manual/develop.md
("Contributor Onboarding Guide" linking to https://openms.de/onboarding) points
to a page that doesn't yet exist; remove or replace that dead link: either
remove the hyperlink and keep plain text, or swap the href to an existing URL
(e.g., a current onboarding page or the repository's CONTRIBUTING.md) so the
"Contributor Onboarding Guide" link resolves; update the link text/URL in the
lines containing "Contributor Onboarding Guide" and
"https://openms.de/onboarding" accordingly.
