HIGH-LEVEL IDEA

  Create a centralized linters repository that provides unified code quality standards
  across all AIPCC projects. Projects reference a single source of truth for linting
  configurations via GitLab CI templates, with automatic version updates managed by
  Renovate. Developers run the same linters locally as in CI, ensuring consistent quality
  gates throughout the development lifecycle.

  OBJECTIVES

  1. Consistency: Enforce uniform coding standards across AIPCC repositories
  2. Centralized Management: Single location for linter rules, versions, and configurations
  3. Automated Quality Gates: Block MRs with linting failures in CI/CD pipelines
  4. Automated Updates: Use Renovate to propose linter version updates via MRs
  5. Flexibility: Allow projects to select which linters to run and provide custom
  configurations

  SUCCESS CRITERIA

  - Central linters repository (gitlab.com/redhat/rhel-ai/ci-cd/central-lint) created and
  versioned
  - projects successfully migrated with zero linting violations
  - Local development workflow functional
  - Renovate automatically creating MRs for linter version updates
