Subject: [PATCH 23/34] 11 project format (#446)

* Migrates to pyproject.toml

Switches the build system from setup.py to pyproject.toml.

This change standardizes the project's build configuration,
improves dependency management, and prepares the project for
future enhancements.
Removes unused requirements file.

* Updates minimum Python version

Corrects the minimum Python version specified in pyproject.toml.

The project now requires Python 3.10 or higher.

* Uses installable package for dev dependencies

Updates the installation of development dependencies in the linting workflow to use the installable package.

This simplifies dependency management and aligns with standard Python packaging practices.

* Adds pyupgrade as a dev dependency

Adds `pyupgrade` to the development dependencies.
This enables developers to automatically upgrade Python syntax
to more modern versions, improving code maintainability
and readability.

+"""
+Implementation of the Servant design pattern.
+
+The Servant design pattern is a behavioral pattern used to offer functionality
+to a group of classes without requiring them to inherit from a base class.
+
+This pattern involves creating a Servant class that provides certain services
+or functionalities. These services are used by other classes which do not need
+to be related through a common parent class. It is particularly useful in
+scenarios where adding the desired functionality through inheritance is impractical
+or would lead to a rigid class hierarchy.
+
+This pattern is characterized by the following:
+
+- A Servant class that provides specific services or actions.
+- Client classes that need these services, but do not derive from the Servant class.
+- The use of the Servant class by the client classes to perform actions on their behalf.
+
+References:
+- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Servant_(design_pattern)

+## 🚫 Anti-Patterns
+
+This section lists some common design patterns that are **not recommended** in Python and explains why.
+
+### 🧱 Singleton
+**Why not:**
+- Python modules are already singletons — every module is imported only once.
+- Explicit singleton classes add unnecessary complexity.
+- Better alternatives: use module-level variables or dependency injection.
+
+### 🌀 God Object
+**Why not:**
+- Centralizes too much logic in a single class.
+- Makes code harder to test and maintain.
+- Better alternative: split functionality into smaller, cohesive classes.
+
+### 🔁 Inheritance overuse
+**Why not:**
+- Deep inheritance trees make code brittle.
+- Prefer composition and delegation.
+- “Favor composition over inheritance.”

 It decouples the creation of a complex object and its representation,
 so that the same process can be reused to build objects from the same
 family.
 This is useful when you must separate the specification of an object
 from its actual representation (generally for abstraction).
