Contributors following the build instructions currently try to run setup.py, which was removed when #221 switched the project to Flit.

Replace those commands with python -m pip install build and python -m build. These use the backend declared in pyproject.toml and produce both a source distribution and a wheel. The documentation contribution page continues to point to the same file.

Validation: both documented commands completed in a fresh Python 3.12.9 environment and produced pslab-4.0.1.tar.gz and pslab-4.0.1-py3-none-any.whl. Archive contents and git diff --check were checked. Hardware tests were not run for this two-command documentation change.

Summary by Sourcery

Documentation:

• Update contributor build instructions to use the standard Python build frontend and the Flit backend declared in pyproject.toml instead of removed setup.py commands.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated the build instructions to use python -m build instead of the legacy setup.py commands.

Reviewer's guide (collapsed on small PRs)

Reviewer's Guide

The contribution guide now uses python -m pip install build followed by python -m build, aligning documented commands with the Flit backend and current packaging workflow while leaving the documentation location unchanged.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Update contributor build instructions to use the PEP 517 build workflow provided by Flit.	Replace direct wheel installation with installation of the build package via the active Python interpreter. Replace setup.py invocation with python -m build, which reads pyproject.toml and generates the source distribution and wheel.	CONTRIBUTING.md
