+
+Add ESLint configuration for code quality and consistency
+
+Adds repository-wide ESLint configuration to catch common code quality issues. This is a development-only change that adds linting tooling without affecting any package functionality or APIs.
+
+**Configuration includes:**
+- TypeScript-specific rules for type safety and promise handling
+- Basic JavaScript rules for code consistency
+- Lenient rules for test files
+- Integration with lint-staged for pre-commit linting
