Theme: documentation and project polish. No public-API changes; this is the v0.5 release that elevates heuropt's docs/onboarding/governance to bar-setting status. Adds: - mdbook user guide at docs/book/ with intro, getting-started, defining-problems, choosing-an-algorithm, cookbook (7 recipes), comparison vs other libraries, stability/SemVer, migration guides. Deploys to https://swaits.github.io/heuropt/ via .github/workflows/ docs.yml. - Runnable rustdoc examples on every algorithm (35 of them), all exercised by cargo test --doc. - Three real-world examples: portfolio.rs (multi-obj with budget constraint), hyperparam_tuning.rs (BO + TPE), scheduling.rs (permutation via SA + SwapMutation against Smith's-rule oracle). - Governance: CONTRIBUTING.md, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md (adopting builderscode.org's Builder's Code of Conduct), GitHub issue templates, PR template. Polishes: - README hero with badges + user-guide link. - lib.rs crate-level docs. - CHANGELOG entry for 0.5.0. Bumps Cargo.toml to 0.5.0.
