📋 [META] Add LICENSE, badges, and repository topics

[codeme-ne]

Problem

Missing professional polish that signals a maintained, serious project:

• ❌ No LICENSE file (legally unclear for recruiters/companies)
• ❌ No badges in README header
• ❌ No repository topics (hurts discoverability)

Solution

1. Add MIT LICENSE

Create LICENSE file:
