Add CHANGELOG, CONTRIBUTING, and GitHub Issue/PR templates for v0.2.0

The / filter in the list component captured keystrokes after returning
from tmux, showing random text like 'cc' and blocking cursor navigation.
Filtering is not needed for the 3-level context/team/namespace flow.

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to kctl-tui will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/).
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.2.0] - 2026-08-09
+
+### Added
+- **Windows support** via [psmux](https://github.com/marlocarlo/psmux) as tmux-compatible multiplexer
+- `install.ps1` PowerShell install script for Windows
+- `--help` flag with full usage documentation
+- `--version` / `-v` flag (set via `-ldflags` at build time)
+- `kctl-tui doctor` command to verify tools, config and cluster connectivity
+- `kctl-tui config check` command to validate `~/.kctl-tui/config.yaml`
+- `--verbose` flag for debug logging of all kubectl/aws commands to stderr
+- Binary secret value detection (`IsBinary`) — base64 or non-UTF-8 content is flagged
+- ExternalSecret name validation before force-sync
+- `CheckTool()` and `CheckAWSAuth()` helpers for pre-flight checks
+- Diff table scroll support (j/k, up/down arrows)
+- `--command pods` flag for k9s to start directly in pod view
+- `--namespace` flag for k9s (Windows compatibility)
+
+### Fixed
+- Tmux session cleanup: stale sessions are killed before creating new ones
+- Panel path: uses `os.Executable()` instead of PATH lookup for correct binary
+- k9s on Windows: `--namespace` instead of `-n`, direct pods view
+- `--help` always shows usage and exits (no fallthrough to TUI)
+- Unknown subcommands show error message + usage (exit 1)
+- Panel quit: properly closes tmux session and exits
+- Bubbles list filter disabled to prevent stuck filter state after tmux return
+
+### Changed
+- Config uses `k8s_secret_name_template` for Kubernetes secret names (separate from AWS `secret_name_template`)
+- Contexts resolved via template (`context_template`) instead of live kubectl discovery
+- Panel redesigned: env-first menu (quit/beta/prod) with secrets sync + redeploy
+- Full-mode navigation starts at team selection with default context
+- `tea.ExecProcess` only used for `tmux attach` — setup commands run synchronously
+
+### Removed
+- Context-pair logic (superseded by env-template based context resolution)
+- Live kubectl discovery (superseded by config templates)
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-XX
+
+### Added
+- Initial release with Bubble Tea TUI
+- 3-pane tmux orchestration (control panel + 2x k9s)
+- Team/namespace navigation with kubectl context switching
+- Panel mode with redeploy and secrets diff/force-sync
+- AWS SSO integration with interactive login prompt
+- CI/CD pipeline with Go build and release
+- Linux/macOS install script

+# Contributing to kctl-tui
+
+Thanks for your interest in contributing! This document explains how to get
+started.
+
+## Development Setup
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/skoelle/kctl-tui.git
+cd kctl-tui
+go mod download
+```
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Go 1.22+
+- kubectl, k9s, tmux (or psmux on Windows)
+- An active Kubernetes cluster for integration testing
+
+### Running Locally
+
+```bash
+go run ./cmd/kctl-tui
+```
+
+### Building
+
+```bash
+go build -o kctl-tui ./cmd/kctl-tui
+```
+
+### With Version Tag
+
+```bash
+go build -ldflags "-X main.version=v0.2.0" -o kctl-tui ./cmd/kctl-tui
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+cmd/kctl-tui/          Entry points (main, full mode, panel mode)
+internal/config/       YAML config loading and template resolution
+internal/kctl/         Pure logic (secret diffing, template engine)
+internal/kubeexec/     kubectl/aws/tmux wrappers (side effects only)
+```
+
+### Architecture Rules
+
+- **Pure logic** goes into `internal/kctl` or `internal/config` — no exec, no I/O.
+- **Side effects** (running kubectl, aws, tmux) go into `internal/kubeexec`.
+- **UI** lives in `cmd/kctl-tui/` — Bubble Tea models, views, handlers.
+- Unit tests cover pure logic only. Side-effect packages are tested via
+  integration/manual tests.
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+go vet ./...       # static analysis
+go test ./...      # unit tests
+```
+
+There are no integration tests yet. Manual testing against a real cluster is
+expected for UI and kubeexec changes.
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Standard Go formatting (`gofmt`).
+- No comments unless the logic is non-obvious.
+- Error messages should be actionable — tell the user what to fix.
+- Log commands with `kubeexec.VerboseLog()` when `--verbose` is active.
+
+## Commits
+
+- One logical change per commit.
+- Imperative mood in commit messages ("Add ...", "Fix ...", "Remove ...").
+- No co-authors in commits.
+
+## Pull Requests
+
+1. Fork the repo and create a feature branch.
+2. Make your changes following the style guide above.
+3. Run `go vet` and `go test`.
+4. Open a PR against `main` with a clear description of what changed and why.
+5. Reference any related issues.
+
+## Issues
+
+- Use the provided issue templates.
+- Include your OS, Go version, and kctl-tui version.
+- For bugs: steps to reproduce, expected vs actual behavior.
