Guide through adding a new flavor named $ARGUMENTS.

Steps:

1. Update the schema enum in megalinter/descriptors/schemas/megalinter-descriptor.jsonschema.json — add the new flavor name to enum_flavors
2. Create the flavor directory flavors/$ARGUMENTS/
3. Update descriptors: Add the flavor name to descriptor_flavors arrays in the relevant megalinter/descriptors/*.megalinter-descriptor.yml files for each language/tool this flavor should include
4. Run make megalinter-build to auto-generate:
   • flavors/$ARGUMENTS/Dockerfile
   • flavors/$ARGUMENTS/action.yml
   • flavors/$ARGUMENTS/flavor.json
5. Verify the generated Dockerfile includes exactly the intended linters (check flavor.json for the linter list)
6. Update CHANGELOG.md in the repository root (not docs/) — add one line under Flavors in the beta section:

   - Add new `<flavor-name>` flavor for <what languages/tools it targets>
   

7. Branch naming: use user/add-<flavor-name>-flavor
