fix: Resolve dart format CI/CD pipeline failures

- Update CI/CD workflow to format only lib/ and test/ directories
- Create format script for consistent local and CI/CD usage
- Update .gitignore to exclude SDK files and generated mock files
- Add comprehensive documentation for formatting setup

Changes:
- .github/workflows/validate.yaml: Use format script instead of formatting all files
- scripts/format.sh: New script to format only relevant directories
- .gitignore: Add SDK and mock file exclusions
- FORMATTING.md: Complete documentation of the formatting solution

Fixes:
- Prevents formatting failures from SDK files with parsing errors
- Avoids formatting generated files and build artifacts
- Ensures consistent behavior between local and CI/CD environments
- Improves CI/CD reliability and execution speed

+# Dart Code Formatting Fix
+
+This document explains the solution for fixing the CI/CD pipeline formatting failures.
+
+## Problem
+
+The CI/CD pipeline was failing with the command:
+```bash
+dart format . --set-exit-if-changed
+```
+
+This command was trying to format all files in the project directory, including:
+- Downloaded SDK files
+- Generated files  
+- Build artifacts
+- IDE configuration files
+
+Some of these files contained parsing errors or used newer language features that caused the formatter to fail.
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Updated CI/CD Workflow
+
+The workflow in `.github/workflows/validate.yaml` has been updated to use a dedicated format script:
+
+```yaml
+- name: 📝 Format
+  run: ./scripts/format.sh
+```
+
+### 2. Format Script
+
+A dedicated format script `scripts/format.sh` has been created that:
+- Formats only `lib/` and `test/` directories
+- Provides clear success/failure messages
+- Uses `--set-exit-if-changed` flag for CI/CD validation
+
+### 3. Updated .gitignore
+
+Updated `.gitignore` to exclude SDK files and generated mock files:
+- `dart-sdk/`
+- `dart-sdk.zip`
+- `flutter-sdk/`
+- `*.mocks.dart`
+
+## Usage
+
+### Local Development
+
+Format code locally:
+```bash
+./scripts/format.sh
+```
+
+Or format specific directories:
+```bash
+dart format lib/ test/ --set-exit-if-changed
+```
+
+### CI/CD Pipeline
+
+The pipeline now runs:
+```bash
+./scripts/format.sh
+```
+
+This ensures consistent formatting checks without trying to format problematic files.
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Reliable CI/CD**: No more formatting failures due to SDK or generated files
+2. **Faster Execution**: Only formats relevant project files
+3. **Consistent**: Same command works locally and in CI/CD
+4. **Maintainable**: Easy to modify formatting rules in one place
+
+## Files Modified
+
+- `.github/workflows/validate.yaml` - Updated format command
+- `.gitignore` - Added SDK and generated file exclusions
+- `scripts/format.sh` - New format script for consistency
+- `FORMATTING.md` - This documentation file
