[Enhancement] Missing CI lint and type-check jobs — TypeScript errors merged to main undetected

[RUKAYAT-CODER]

Overview

The CI pipeline runs tests but does not run tsc --noEmit or eslint as separate required checks. TypeScript compilation errors and lint violations are merged to main without detection, accumulating technical debt.

Specifications

Features:

• Add a lint CI job that runs npx eslint . --ext .ts,.tsx --max-warnings 0
• Add a typecheck CI job that runs npx tsc --noEmit
• Make both jobs required checks on PR merge

Tasks:

• Add lint and typecheck jobs to .github/workflows/ci.yml
• Fix all existing lint and type errors before enabling the gate
• Document the process for adding a new ESLint disable with justification

Impacted Files:

• .github/workflows/ci.yml
• tsconfig.json
• .eslintrc.js

Acceptance Criteria

• PRs with TypeScript errors cannot be merged
• PRs with lint violations cannot be merged
• CI pipeline completes in under 5 minutes
