Release v0.1.0: Major Refactor and Architecture Improvements

🚀 Release v0.1.0

This release represents a major refactoring of the Commonware AVS Node, emphasizing better code organization, testing, and more generic, reusable components.

🏗️ Major Architecture Changes

Core Refactoring

• Generic Contributor Interface: Introduced Contribute and ContributorBase traits for flexible contributor implementations
• Eliminated Code Duplication: Consolidated AggregatingContributor and Contributor into a single, more flexible implementation
• Modular Component Architecture: Reorganized contributor code into dedicated src/contributor/ module with clear separation of concerns
• Trait-Based Design: Implemented generic interfaces for better extensibility and testing

New Component Structure

• Introduced dedicated modules for:
  • contributor/traits.rs: Core contributor interfaces and contracts
  • contributor/types.rs: Common data structures and types
  • contributor/tests/: Test suite with mock implementations
  • handlers/contributor.rs: Concrete contributor implementation

✨ Key Improvements

Testing & Quality

• Added unit test coverage for all contributor traits
• Implemented mock implementations (MockContributor, MockSender, MockReceiver)
• Added async testing support with tokio integration
• Improved test organization with dedicated test modules

Developer Experience

• Better code organization with clear module boundaries
• Improved trait definitions with associated types for type safety
• Enhanced error handling and consistent Result types
• Cleaner import structure and module exports

Code Quality

• Fixed all clippy warnings and enforced strict linting rules
• Improved code formatting and consistency
• Applied Rust idioms and best practices throughout
• Better encapsulation with public getter methods

🔧 Technical Details

New Traits

• ContributorBase: Defines common contributor functionality with associated types for PublicKey, Signer, and Signature
• Contribute: Extends ContributorBase with core contributor operations including construction and execution

Removed Components

• Deprecated AggregatingContributor in favor of unified Contributor
• Eliminated duplicate code between different contributor implementations
• Cleaned up legacy base contributor patterns

📝 Breaking Changes

• Complete restructure of contributor module organization - imports will need updating
• Removed AggregatingContributor struct - functionality merged into main Contributor
• All contributor implementations must now implement Contribute and ContributorBase traits
• Updated import paths for contributor-related functionality
