Contributions summary:Harshad primarily focused on refactoring and improving the `flif` repository by splitting files into encoder and decoder components. They removed a global file pointer and moved `ftell` and `feof` logic into `Rac`, indicating a focus on the compression algorithm's inner workings. Furthermore, the user abstracted IO into a template parameter, and implemented the TODOs to make `flif` more robust.
