Details:

• Added GitHub Actions workflows for development and main branches.

  • development.yml on all branches for code quality checks.
  • main.yml on main branch for production-quality validation.
• Run tox -e quality to confirm that all files meet quality standards.
• Verify tox -e style applies formatting and styling corrections without errors.
