Prepare repository for public release

[mdepasca-mqv]

This issue tracks the work required to bring this private repository up to the quality standards needed for making it public.
The goal is to ensure the project is clean, maintainable, and accessible for external contributors.

• Remove sensitive or internal data/configuration
• Review and clean up repository structure (consistent directory organization)
• Add or update README.md with clear setup, usage, and contribution information
• Add LICENSE file (Apache 2 with LLVM exceptions)
• Add CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md
• Ensure all public functions/classes are documented
• Add CI pipeline (build, lint, test)
• Verify test coverage and add missing tests where needed
• Final review for clarity and maintainability before making the repo public
• Create components catalogue entry (example)
