Reproduced the root cause on an actual Apple Silicon machine: configure's Rosetta relaunch makes the shell x86_64 but an arm64-only Homebrew python3 still execs natively as arm64 (verified via arch -x86_64 bash -c python3 ...), so pinned deps like extractcode-7z fail to resolve; added a CONTRIBUTING.rst note (matching the file's existing RedHat-troubleshooting-note style) documenting the failure and the x86_64-Python-via-Rosetta workaround, plus a CHANGELOG.rst entry.
