Magpie Newcomer Issue Explainer

apache/magpie-newcomer-issue-explainer

| Given an open good-first-issue on the configured `<upstream>` repo, files to read first, what "done" looks like, and where to ask follow-up questions — without writing any code or fix. First runs an issue assessment to confirm the issue is open, non-security, and scope-clear. Then drafts the explanation for maintainer review. Read-only; nothing is posted without explicit maintainer confirmation.
