fix: comprehensive linting and CI compliance overhaul

- Standardized all Markdown headers to ATX format and ensured exactly one H1 per file.
- Renamed WIKI.md main header to 'Overview' for consistency.
- Enforced dash-style lists and added language tags to all code blocks.
- Hardened GitHub Action workflows by adding 'persist-credentials: false' and migrating to 'apt'.
- Improved shell script robustness with 'set -euo pipefail' and POSIX/Bash compatibility fixes.
- Repaired broken internal links and anchor fragments across documentation.
- Applied project-wide Prettier formatting.
