Replace ESLint with Biome (Issue #196)

This pull request proposes replacing the current ESLint + Prettier setup with Biome for faster, unified linting, formatting, and import organization across the repository.

Summary

• Added biome.json configuration at the repo root.
• Added GitHub Actions workflow through the biome.yml file to run Biome in CI.
• Updated root package.json scripts to run Biome for linting and formatting.

Purpose

• Single tool for lint, format, and imports.
• Material performance improvements compared to ESLint.
• Simplified configuration and maintenance.

Usage (Local)

If you use Bun:

bun add -D @biomejs/biome
bunx @biomejs/biome check .
bunx @biomejs/biome format . --write

If you use npm:

npm i -D @biomejs/biome
npx @biomejs/biome check .
npx @biomejs/biome format . --write

##Testing

• Ran several commands and checked outputs, all were successful. Below is an example snippet of the output from bun run biome:check (majority of output not shown, contained intricacies about syntax errors in the source code)

Notes

• ESLint configs remain for now; Biome can run side-by-side initially.
• Follow-up tasks (optional):
  • Remove ESLint packages/configs after team approval.
  • Align repo formatting to Biome (one-time format).

Closes #196

@FaizFarooqMoazam is attempting to deploy a commit to the ScottyLabs Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

This looks good!

Need to reach out to see about the authorization of Vercel, but looks good!

In $schema in biome.json, you should opt to import it from node_modules rather than from URL. They have one in @biomejs/biome.

The way it is currently, the schema will no longer match the version of Biome after it's updated.

I also recommend adding a .editorconfig file (right click in the file tree in VS Code -> "Generate EditorConfig") that matches the settings selected here. This way, the editor will recognize that the project expects tab indents.

I also recommend adding an editor -> formatOnSave configuration in .vscode/settings.json, and adding Biome as a recommended extension in .vscode/extensions.json.
