v1.24.5 — Branch Guard & Pre-Push Automation

✨ Added

• Branch Guard workflow (.github/workflows/branch-guard.yml) to automatically enforce branch protection policies.
  • Ensures consistent branch naming conventions, blocks direct pushes to protected branches (e.g., master, main, release/*), and validates pull requests for repository integrity.
  • Comprehensive pre-push checks for code consistency and style compliance.
  • Added optional simple-git-hooks integration to automate linting before commits or pushes.
  • Implemented lint:all script using npm-run-all for efficient parallel execution of ESLint, Stylelint, Markdownlint, and Prettier.
  • Runs quickly in parallel and defers formatting until after lint checks to avoid race conditions.
• Hybrid linting configuration combining parallel and sequential execution for optimal developer performance and predictable results.

🔧 Changed

• Consolidated and simplified local linting scripts for better readability and consistency.
• Improved developer experience with faster pre-push validations and standardized script naming.
• Updated package.json to use npm-run-all as the unified task runner.
• Bumped project version to v1.24.5.

💻 Developer Experience

• Enhanced local workflows with fast, automated linting and optional pre-commit enforcement, reducing time spent on manual checks.
• Updated documentation to guide setup of local pre-push automation tools.
