Updates to .github/workflows/main.yml
The main workflow file has been enhanced with several significant improvements:

1. Structured Multi-job Pipeline: Reorganized into three sequential jobs (test → build → release) with proper dependencies.
2. Automated Version Tagging: Added automatic incremental versioning (v0.01, v0.02, etc.) on every merge to main.
3. Testing Integration: Added Python testing setup with pytest before the build stage.
4. Enhanced Docker Build: Replaced manual Docker commands with official Docker GitHub Actions for better caching and efficiency.
5. Security Scanning: Added code scanning with Snyk and container scanning with Trivy.
6. Release Automation: Added automatic GitHub release creation with:

• Generated changelog from commit messages
• Proper tagging
• Links to Docker images

7. Better Permissions Management: Explicitly defined GitHub token permissions for each job.

New File: .github/workflows/pr-checks.yml

This new workflow file runs whenever a pull request is opened or updated, with the following checks:

1. Code Linting:

• Uses Black for code formatting verification
• Uses Flake8 for Python syntax and style checking

2. Comprehensive Testing:

• Runs all tests with pytest
• Generates code coverage reports
• Uploads coverage to Codecov for tracking

3. Docker Build Verification:
4. Ensures Dockerfile can build successfully
5. Verifies the resulting image runs correctly
