- Introduced `pyproject.toml` to centralize backend tool configurations (e.g., Ruff, mypy, coverage, pytest).
- Replaced Black, isort, and Flake8 with Ruff for linting, formatting, and import sorting.
- Updated `requirements.txt` to include Ruff and remove replaced tools.
- Added `Makefile` to streamline development workflows with commands for linting, formatting, type-checking, testing, and cleanup.
- Updated `verify_password` and `get_password_hash` to their async counterparts to prevent event loop blocking.
- Replaced N+1 query patterns in `admin.py` and `session_async.py` with optimized bulk operations for improved performance.
- Enhanced `user_async.py` with bulk update and soft delete methods for efficient user management.
- Added eager loading support in CRUD operations to prevent N+1 query issues.
- Updated test cases with stronger password examples for better security representation.
- Enhanced UUID validation by supporting both string and `UUID` formats.
- Added advanced filtering and sorting capabilities to `get_multi_with_total` method.
- Introduced soft delete and restore functionality for models with `deleted_at` column.
- Updated tests to reflect new endpoints and rate-limiting logic.
- Improved schema definitions with `SortParams` and `SortOrder` for consistent API inputs.
- Introduced endpoints for user management, including CRUD operations, pagination, and password management.
- Added new schema validations for user updates, password strength, pagination, and standardized error responses.
- Integrated custom exception handling for a consistent API error experience.
- Refined CORS settings: restricted methods and allowed headers, added header exposure, and preflight caching.
- Optimized database: added indexes on `is_active` and `is_superuser` fields, updated column types, enforced constraints, and set defaults.
- Updated `Dockerfile` to improve security by using a non-root user and adding a health check for the application.
- Enhanced tests for database initialization, user operations, and exception handling to ensure better coverage.
