- README: add a 60-second Quickstart at the top so cloners reach a working setup without configuration choices - README: replace the comparison with a neutral table that acknowledges where Codecov, Coveralls, and 5monkeys/cobertura-action win, plus "pick X if" guidance for honest tool selection - README: rename existing "Quick Start" to "Common Patterns" so the 60-second version is unambiguously the entry point - Add SECURITY.md with private vulnerability reporting via GitHub Security Advisories, supported version policy (v2.x only), and consumer hardening recommendations - Add CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md adopting Contributor Covenant 2.1 by reference with local reporting and enforcement details - CONTRIBUTING.md: fix placeholder clone URL and link to CoC + SECURITY - README: add Security section and CoC reference next to Contributing Targets the GitHub community-standards profile (security policy + CoC) to unblock enterprise adoption gates and clears the way for an OpenSSF Best Practices badge later.

Summary
Three discovery- and trust-focused changes aimed at fixing the trial-to-adopt funnel (50 unique clones / ~2 actual installs over 14 days):
5monkeys/cobertura-action. Replaces the previous all-Yes table. Adds rows where competitors win (historical trends, org dashboards, format breadth) and a "Pick X if…" footer so users self-select honestly.SECURITY.md(private vuln reporting via GitHub Security Advisories, v2.x supported, consumer hardening notes) andCODE_OF_CONDUCT.md(Contributor Covenant 2.1 adopted by reference, with local reporting/enforcement details).CONTRIBUTING.mdplaceholder clone URL fixed and now references both.The community files mainly unblock enterprise adopters whose security/legal teams gate on the presence of a security policy, and prepare the project for an OpenSSF Best Practices badge later.
Why
Per the PM analysis, stars/forks are vanity for an Action — adoption is the metric. The funnel leak is at clone → install (~4%). A frictionless Quickstart and an honest comparison are the two highest-leverage README changes for that gap.
