Description

Thanks for the great work on this project! Please consider adding a CITATION.cff file to the project which provides citation details for the project and integrates with GitHub. This file could also include an identifiers or preferred-citation section which helps link the work to the recent preprint made available here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2504.15247 . Adding this file and the relevant metadata about the project would help audiences properly cite the efforts.

Research direction

Start with the linked Citation File Format documentation and the referenced arXiv preprint, then inspect the repository metadata needed for a project citation. Add a root-level CITATION.cff with the relevant project details, including an identifiers or preferred-citation section if appropriate; done means GitHub recognizes the file and the citation information points to the project and preprint.
