Pull request overview

This PR fixes the load-fakedata.py script to work with a changed internal API. The add_issue method signature was changed to generate issue IDs (iid) internally rather than requiring them as a parameter.

Changes:

• Updated load-fakedata.py to call add_issue without manually generating IIDs
• Applied code formatting improvements across multiple files (whitespace, line breaks, quote consistency)
• Enhanced CI workflow reliability by adding apt-get update before package installation
