Discourage the Use of if Conditions Without Curly Braces

[lil0uuu]

Problem:
In the codebase, it has been observed that some developers are using if conditions without enclosing them in curly braces. This practice, while technically valid, can lead to readability issues and may introduce subtle bugs in the future, especially when additional statements are added.

Suggestion:
I propose that we always use curly braces with if conditions, even if there is only a single statement. This practice enhances code clarity, reduces the likelihood of introducing bugs, and makes it easier for others to understand and maintain the code.

Example:

// Not recommended
if (condition)
    statement;

// Recommended
if (condition) {
    statement;
}

Benefits:
Consistency: Encouraging a uniform coding style across the project.
Readability: Making the code more readable by clearly indicating the scope of the if condition.
Error Prevention: Reducing the chance of introducing bugs when modifying code.
