Modern C++26

Heavy use of RAII, std::expected, std::optional, and smart pointers. Memory-safe by design where possible. No raw pointers, no manual memory management.

Why C++26?

C++26 brings features that make code safer and more expressive:

• std::expected - Proper error handling without exceptions
• std::optional - Explicit nullable types
• Pattern matching - Cleaner control flow
• Contracts - Runtime verification

Benefits for Contributors

• Easier to read - Modern patterns are self-documenting
• Safer to modify - RAII prevents leaks
• Better tooling - Static analysis works well
• Clearer intent - Types express ownership
