Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing image expansion feature in Nextra (likely in components like `Image` or `ZoomImage`). Identify how mermaid diagrams are rendered (e.g., using a library like `mermaid`). Implement an expandable overlay that toggles a full screen view of the diagram, similar to the image lightbox. Test with heavy diagrams such as the one referenced in the issue.
