Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the repository's current version and release setup, then determine the initial release target and the proposed backwards-compatibility policy. Done means a release is defined and the compatibility commitment is documented and adopted.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Please create a proper "1.0" or "0.1" release for this product.

Also adopt a policy of committing to backwards compatible releases using SerVer policy.

As current, nobody should adopt multicodec in their applications because there is no guarantee that multicodec is a fixed target.
