Describe the bug
When a new user opens an Issue or a Pull Request (PR), the automated comment workflow provides a link to the project's contribution guide which results in a 404 "page not found" error.
This bug is visible in both the "Auto Comment on PR" and "Auto Comment on Issue" workflows.
- Current Broken URL (Causes 404):
.../machine-learning-repos/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
💡 Root Cause
Following the repository reorganization (PR #1672), the CONTRIBUTING.md file was correctly moved from the root directory to a dedicated documentation folder: docs/CONTRIBUTING.md.
The two auto-comment workflow files were not updated to reflect this new path, so they are still pointing to the old, non-existent location.
Expected behavior
The fix is to update the hardcoded link within the two workflow files under the .github/workflows/ directory.
We need to change the path from:
.../blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md
To the correct, updated path:
.../blob/main/docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
This directly resolves the broken link without adding any redundant files to the repository.
