Developers can run linting, formatting, tests, and coverage checks via `hatch run`. Integration tests require configured Kaggle credentials. Docker support is also provided to run hatch commands across Python versions in a consistent environment. ### Who It's For Ideal for data scientists, machine learning engineers, and competition organizers who need to interact with Kaggle from local scripts or automation pipelines.
