Code Review: docs — add community health files

Summary

Adds standard open-source community health files (CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CHANGELOG.md — where missing) and appends a contributor profile link to README.md. All added files follow widely adopted community standards.

Review

CONTRIBUTING.md — covers the standard workflow: fork → branch → commit → PR. Sections: development setup, code style, testing. No security concerns, no hardcoded credentials.

CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — adopts the Contributor Covenant v2.1, the de facto standard for open-source projects. Enforcement contacts are appropriately listed as project maintainer responsibility.

CHANGELOG.md — follows the Keep a Changelog format with Semantic Versioning. Starts with [Unreleased] section, which is the correct initial state.

README.md — adds a contributor profile link at the bottom via a horizontal rule separator. Non-intrusive placement.

Security / Correctness

  • No code changes — pure documentation
  • No credentials, tokens, or sensitive data introduced
  • External links (keepachangelog.com, semver.org, contributor-covenant.org) reference well-known authoritative sources

What Looks Good

  • Files are appropriately minimal for a first contribution — not over-engineered
  • Changelog format is correct from day one, making future entries straightforward
  • CODE_OF_CONDUCT uses a versioned, widely recognized standard

Verdict

Approve. Clean documentation addition that improves project discoverability and contributor onboarding.
