Fix super-linter CI issues across BASH, EDITORCONFIG, YAML, and GITHUB_ACTIONS

BASH fixes:
- Fix shellcheck SC2155 warnings by declaring/assigning variables separately
- Fix SC2295 by properly quoting PWD expansions in parameter substitutions
- Fix SC2030/2031 subshell variable modification issues using process substitution
- Fix SC2046/SC2086 by properly quoting command substitutions and variables

EDITORCONFIG fixes:
- Add missing final newlines to configuration files
- Remove trailing whitespace from GitHub workflow files
- Fix indentation issues in Python scripts

YAML fixes:
- Fix bracket spacing in workflow files [main] vs [ main ]
- Fix empty braces formatting in super-linter workflow
- Improve indentation consistency

GITHUB_ACTIONS fixes:
- Quote git command output and variables to prevent word splitting
- Fix shellcheck issues in workflow scripts

Additional improvements:
- Exclude documentation-output and oss directories from super-linter
- Fix markdown heading levels and line length issues
- Reduce super-linter noise by filtering generated content
