Remove deprecated ignore-init-module-imports from Ruff configuration

Issue: Remove deprecated Ruff configuration option

Problem

The Ruff formatter configuration in pyproject.toml contains a deprecated option ignore-init-module-imports that is generating warnings during execution. This option was used to control how Ruff handles imports in __init__.py files, but Ruff now correctly handles these imports by default, making this configuration obsolete.

Impact

When running Ruff (linting, formatting, or checking), users encounter the following deprecation warning:

warning: The `ignore-init-module-imports` option is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

This causes:

• Unnecessary warning noise in CI/CD pipelines
• Confusion for contributors who may not understand why the warning appears
• Technical debt as the option will be removed in a future Ruff release
• Risk of build failures when Ruff eventually removes this option entirely

Root Cause

The ignore-init-module-imports = true setting in the [tool.ruff.lint] section of pyproject.toml is no longer necessary. Ruff's behavior has evolved to handle __init__.py imports correctly by default, eliminating the need for this explicit configuration.

Proposed Solution

Remove the deprecated ignore-init-module-imports = true line from the [tool.ruff.lint] section in pyproject.toml.

This is a single-line deletion with no functional impact on the codebase:

• ✅ Eliminates the deprecation warning
• ✅ Aligns with Ruff's latest best practices
• ✅ Prevents future breaking changes when Ruff removes this option
• ✅ No changes to linting or formatting behavior (Ruff handles this correctly by default)

Benefits

1. Cleaner output: Removes unnecessary warnings from development and CI/CD workflows
2. Future-proof: Prevents potential issues when Ruff removes this deprecated option
3. Best practices: Keeps the configuration aligned with Ruff's current recommendations
4. Minimal change: Single line deletion with no side effects

Additional Context

• Ruff version where option became deprecated: The exact version varies, but this has been deprecated in recent Ruff releases
• This change has been tested in a fork and confirmed to work correctly without any adverse effects
• The Ruff documentation confirms that this option is no longer needed as the default behavior is now correct

Testing

After making this change:

• ✅ Run ruff check - should complete without deprecation warnings
• ✅ Run ruff format - should complete without deprecation warnings
• ✅ Verify existing tests pass
• ✅ Verify no changes to actual linting/formatting behavior
