No Rust linting or formatting enforced.

→ Add `cargo clippy -- -D warnings` and `cargo fmt --check` as CI steps, and optionally a rustfmt.toml for project-specific style rules.

Issue and PR templates6pt0

No issue or PR templates found (−100 pts).

→ Add .github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/ with bug_report.md and feature_request.md to guide contributors. It dramatically improves issue quality.
