feat: added vulture in precommit

srilatha bandari requested to merge vulture into feature-final

What does this MR do and why?

  • Integrates Vulture (dead code detection tool) into the project using pre-commit hooks
  • Automatically scans for unused code (functions, variables, imports) before every commit
  • Configured with a minimum confidence threshold to reduce false positives
  • Excludes common directories like tests and migrations

Why:

  • Improves code quality and maintainability
  • Prevents dead/unused code from being committed
  • Helps keep the codebase clean and optimized
