+Migrated from Black and isort to Ruff for code formatting and linting, a modern, blazingly fast formatter and linter written in Rust.
+
+Enabled additional ruff rule sets.
+
+**For end users:**
+
+No changes required. This is purely a development tooling change that doesn't affect the library API or behavior.
+
+**For contributors:**
+
+- Use ``make reformat`` or ``uv run ruff format`` to format code (replaces ``black`` and ``isort``)
+- Use ``make lint`` to check code quality (now includes formatting, linting, and type checking)
+- Pre-commit hooks automatically updated to use ``ruff`` and ``ruff-format``
+- CI/CD pipelines updated to use ruff in GitHub Actions workflows
+
+**Benefits:**
+
+- 10-100x faster formatting and linting compared to Black + isort + flake8
+- Single tool for formatting, import sorting, and linting
+- More comprehensive code quality checks out of the box
+- Auto-fixes for many common issues (33 issues auto-fixed during migration)
+- Better integration with modern Python development workflows
+
+This change improves the developer experience and code quality while maintaining the same code style standards.
