Research direction

Start by reviewing the root README.md and the repository root on the dev branch, especially the existing contributing guidance and license references. Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and SECURITY.md, determine and add the appropriate license, and update README.md with Discord and email links; done means all requested community files and metadata are present and consistent.

What needs to be updated?

📌 Current Documentation Issue

The repository currently lacks standard open-source community health files (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md). Additionally, the root README.md is missing critical contact information (Discord/Email links) and refers to a license that hasn't been formally added yet.

✨ Proposed Changes

  • Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md: Establish standards for community behavior.
  • Add CONTRIBUTING.md: Move contributing guidelines from README to a dedicated file.
  • Add SECURITY.md: Define the security policy and reporting process.
  • Update License: Determine and add the appropriate license.
  • Update Contact Info: Add missing Discord and Email links in README.md.
