Description:

Currently, contributors must manually run black or rely on CI feedback to catch PEP 8 violations. This leads to:

• Unnecessary "fix lint" commit iterations.
• Inconsistent formatting across different contributors.
• Manual overhead for maintainers during code review.

Proposed Solution:

Introduce a .pre-commit-config.yaml file to automate code quality checks before commits are finalized. This ensures the codebase remains clean and uniform.
