tldraw stops accepting external code contributions directly

• tldraw, an open-source drawing app, now automatically closes pull requests from outside contributors and converts them to issues or discussions instead.
• The project cited three reasons: evolving coding practices, more AI agents submitting code, and security concerns about unvetted changes.
• Contributors can still propose changes, but the project now reviews them as feature requests or discussions before deciding whether to integrate them.
