Description
Adding linting aims to improve code quality and streamline reviews, making it easier for contributors to understand and maintain the codebase. I chose ruff due to its performance and comprehensive rule set that aligns with our project’s needs, making it a suitable choice over other linters. (https://realpython.com/ruff-python/)

Checklist
Please make sure that the following criteria are met:
README.md
in the example project directory, which describes the stack and includes instructions to deploy or test.website/docs/template-library/..
which gets published to stackql-deploy.io (optional)Additional Notes
Currently, lint checks are run with ruff check . and tests require commands like pip install -e . for setup. In a future PR, I plan to simplify these with make lint and make test commands, enabling contributors to lint and test code more consistently. Feedback is welcome, especially if you think additional linters like flake8 should also be considered.
