Current evaluation

Reporter flagged CODE_STYLE.md linking to a missing TESTING.md. Maintainers judged CODE_STYLE.md outdated and deleted it in favour of CONTRIBUTING.md; fixed by merged PR #6057 (86b89379a).

Resolution: closed resolved

Reason: PR #6057 by bepri was merged as commit 86b89379a ("docs: delete outdated CODE_STYLE.md"), removing the ~79-line stale file and thus the broken TESTING.md link, with CONTRIBUTING.md as the replacement. No TESTING.md references remain in the tree.
