Subject: [PATCH] chore: Make the feature suggestion template a bit nicer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Cleaned up scope and guidelines
- Streamlined "search existing issues" content
- Replaced “How to use GitHub” (for Issue readers) with a visible `[!TIP]` callout and adjusted heading to “Help move this idea forward”; fixed typo or two
- Moved filler guidance into HTML comments beneath each question to keep submitted issues cleaner
- More consistent wording/styling/tone throughout
