[CI/CD] Set up GitHub Actions for Linting

[Pushkarini579]

Ensure code quality by automating linting checks.

• Create a .github/workflows/lint.yml file.
• Configure it to run npm run lint for the frontend/server and flake8 or ruff for the Python backend on every Pull Request.

Hi! @Pushkarini579 I'm a GSSoC'26 contributor and I'd like to work on this issue.

My approach:

• Create a new GitHub Actions workflow file at .github/workflows/lint.yml that triggers on every Pull Request (and optionally on pushes to main)

• Configure two parallel jobs for clean, fast CI runs:

  1️⃣ Frontend / Server (JavaScript/TypeScript) Lint Job

  • Set up Node.js (LTS version) using actions/setup-node
  • Cache node_modules for faster runs
  • Run npm ci to install dependencies
  • Execute npm run lint
  • Fail the workflow on any lint errors

  2️⃣ Python Backend Lint Job

  • Set up Python using actions/setup-python
  • Install ruff (preferred — much faster and modern) or fall back to flake8 based on existing project config
  • Run the linter against the Python source directory
  • Fail the workflow on any lint violations

• Use matrix strategy where applicable to keep the workflow clean and scalable

• Add a status badge to the README so contributors can see lint status at a glance

• Verify the workflow runs successfully on a test PR before finalizing

Benefits:

• Catches style and quality issues automatically before merge
• Enforces consistent code standards across frontend, server, and backend
• Reduces review burden for maintainers

Hi @Pushkarini579 👋
checkout pr #32
I've added the automated linting workflow as requested. This will ensure that npm run lint is executed for the Next.js frontend and Node.js server, and ruff check is run for the Python backend on all future Pull Requests.

Let me know if there are any specific Node.js or Python version requirements for the environment that we should adjust in the workflow file. Thanks!🚀
