This commit adds the -Wformat-signedness compiler flag to detect and prevent printf format errors, where signed or unsigned types are mismatched with format specifiers. This helps to catch potential issues at compile-time, ensuring that our code is more robust and reliable. With this flag, the compiler will now warn about incorrect format strings, such as using %d with unsigned types or %u with signed types.
