What does this PR do?

Adds a CODEBASE_SUMMARY.md document providing a comprehensive overview of the AdalFlow repository. This serves as a quick-start guide for new contributors and developers to understand the project structure and architecture.

Summary covers:

  • Project overview -- AdalFlow as a PyTorch-style library for building and auto-optimizing LLM workflows
  • Tech stack -- Python 3.9-3.14, Poetry, core and optional dependencies (LLM providers, vector DBs)
  • Repository structure -- Full directory tree with descriptions of each module
  • Architecture -- Core abstractions (Component, GradComponent, Generator, Parameter, DataClass, ModelClient, Retriever), call interface patterns, optimization pipeline, agent system, data/storage layers, and tracing
  • Component flow diagram -- Visual overview of how Runner, Agent, Generator, ModelClient, Retriever, and Tracing connect
  • Build and CI -- Makefile targets and GitHub Actions workflows (testing, docs, release)
  • Public API -- Key exports and import conventions
  • Configuration -- Environment setup, component config system, and YAML configs

No breaking changes.
