Hello @tyrone-yu, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
Summary of Changes
This pull request adds a section to the STYLE.md document describing the scope of functions and classes in the Yacl C++ coding style. It advises using anonymous namespaces to limit scope to the current file and provides guidelines for functions/classes within the repo-named namespace and its sub-namespaces, including testing requirements and stability considerations. It also mentions the importance of updating the changelog for functional changes in non-anonymous namespaces.
Highlights

Did you know?
The term 'namespace' in programming is analogous to the concept of namespaces in real-world naming conventions, such as in biology (e.g., genus and species) or file systems (e.g., directory structures), where it helps to avoid ambiguity and organize information.
