Research direction

No file, linter, or test is named. Start by inspecting the repository structure and existing build or development configuration to identify where formatting checks belong. The issue is done when a selected linter configuration consistently enforces the project's C++ formatting, but the required style and validation command still need clarification.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
