UI Console Errors and Git Errors Fixes, + recommendations (Take 2, careful with const vs var)

UI Console Errors and Git Errors Fixes, + recommendations
Converted several variables to constants and removed unused function parameters in the AboutDialog component, addressing lint warnings

Introduced strict JSON interfaces in AlsaDeviceInfo to replace untyped “any” parameters and ensured returned arrays use constants

Simplified styling callbacks and defined props more strictly in App, while using constants for URL parsing

Updated the WithStyles helper to accept unknown argument lists and return types rather than “any”

Added a workflow step so CI runs npm run lint -- --fix inside the vite directory
