Pull Request Overview

This PR adds a new script to detect files where all changes consist only of blank lines, helping to reduce unnecessary commit history noise. The PR ironically demonstrates this functionality by including both intentional blank line changes (in documentation) and what appears to be an unintentional comment addition.

Adds dev/check_blank_lines.py script to detect blank line-only changes in PRs
Integrates the check into the GitHub Actions lint workflow
Makes minor documentation formatting changes (blank lines added/removed)

Reviewed Changes

Copilot reviewed 4 out of 5 changed files in this pull request and generated 2 comments.
