We welcome contributions to the codebase! Before submitting a PR, please:

Fork the repository and create a new branch for your changes.
Follow the coding standards and project structure.
Write clear commit messages.
Include tests for new features or bug fixes.
Ensure that all tests pass and the code is linted.

Important Note:

We do not accept pull requests for small typo fixes in documentation or comments. Unfortunately, such PRs have become a frequent source of spam. If you identify a typo, you may report it in an issue instead.

Add tests for any new features or changes.
Keep PRs focused and concise. If a PR addresses multiple unrelated issues, consider splitting it into smaller PRs.

4. Testing
