Maintenance: Set up pre-commit and pre-commit CI for style enforcement

[egeakman]

Currently, there is no mechanism to automatically enforce code quality and consistency checks before committing changes to the repository. This lack of pre-commit hooks increases the risk of:

• Adding large files inadvertently, which can bloat the repository.
• Case-sensitive file conflicts that cause issues in case-insensitive file systems.
• Merge conflicts being committed unintentionally.
• Formatting errors/inconsistencies in YAML and JSON files.
• Committing files with trailing whitespace or missing end-of-file newline, leading to inconsistent formatting across the project.

Tasks

• pre-commit (Add pre-commit checks #53)
• pre-commit CI
