Update pull request template: require evidence, tests, and AI disclosure #6397

Description

Part of #6393.

Problem

The pull request template (.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) asks how a change was tested but does not prompt for visual evidence of working behavior, does not have a checkbox affirming tests were added/updated, and does not ask contributors to disclose AI assistance.

Proposed change

Update .github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md to add:

  • An Evidence prompt in the Validation section requesting a screenshot or short recording demonstrating the change working (where applicable).
  • A checklist item: Added or updated tests (or explained why not applicable).
  • A checklist item: Disclosed any AI-assisted authoring (ties to the AI contribution policy sub-issue).

Keep the existing sections (Description, References, Validation, Checklist, Issue Type) intact and consistent with the current format.

Dependencies

  • The AI disclosure checkbox should align with the wording from the AI-assisted contribution policy sub-issue.

Acceptance criteria

  • PR template includes an evidence prompt, a tests checkbox, and an AI-assisted disclosure checkbox.
