2. Code Formatting : Locally formatted the code using tox -e codestyle to adhere to the community's formatting standards.
3. Applied Ruff Formatting Fixes : Used ruff check --unsafe-fixes to automatically correct a large portion of the linting and formatting issues with minimal disruption.
4. Manually addressed any remaining linting and formatting issues that were not automatically fixed by ruff
