✨ Features

✅ Google Python Style Guide validation:

• Checks for correct Args:, Returns:, and Raises: sections.
• Ensures the summary line exists, starts with a capital letter, and ends with a period.
• Requires a blank line between summary and detail sections (PEP-257 friendly).

🈲 Language detection:

• Warns if a docstring contains Vietnamese characters.
