docs(contributing): restore Palimpsest framework reference

Owner directive 2026-06-02: Palimpsest functions as both legal
licence (only palimpsest / palimpsest-plasma / consent-aware-http)
AND ethical framework reference across the estate. Doc-maxout #182
erased the framework half along with stale dual-licence claims; this
restores the framework mention. SPDX/legal licence (MPL-2.0)
unchanged.

Manual edit per owner directive — single-file, per-file approved.

+ECHIDNA's contribution model historically references the
+*Palimpsest License* as an ethical / philosophical framework
+alongside the legal licence. That framework reference is preserved
+as part of the project's stance: the *legal* licence remains as
+declared by the SPDX header on each file (MPL-2.0 for the
+documentation surface; historical drift owner-managed). The
+Palimpsest framework is a discipline about how contributions are
+received, attributed, and forwarded — orthogonal to the SPDX
+choice. The Palimpsest licence proper is the legal licence only on
+`palimpsest-license`, `palimpsest-plasma`, and (prospectively)
+`consent-aware-http`.
