Fix ~219 spelling mistakes across documentation and source code comments

[mr-raj12]

Fix ~219 spelling mistakes across 92 files in documentation (.rst, .md),
source code comments/docstrings, and CI/build scripts.

Identified using codespell v2.4.1 with a custom ignore list for
project-specific terms, followed by manual review to avoid false positives.

Examples of corrections:

Original	Corrected	Location
compabitility	compatibility	README.rst
environement	environment	multiple files
comparision	comparison	docs/
maintainence	maintenance	CHANGELOG.rst
dependecy	dependency	CHANGELOG.rst
mispelled	misspelled	copyrights.py
ambigious	ambiguous	multiple files
simultaniously	simultaneously	docs/
boostrapping	bootstrapping	etc/scripts/
cheksums	checksums	golang.py + test fixtures

What is NOT changed:

• No code logic, variable names, function names, or class names
• No URLs, file paths, or domain names
• No license rule files (*.RULE), test data, or third-party code
• Intentional non-standard spellings preserved (e.g., exmaple.com junk filter in finder_data.py)

Note: Small overlap with #4712 which also fixes compabitility in README.rst.

Hi, I would like to work on this issue.

I will run codespell with the project’s ignore list and manually review all changes to ensure that no code logic, identifiers, URLs, rule files, or test data are modified.

I will also verify overlap with #4712 to avoid duplicate changes.

Please let me know if there are any additional guidelines I should follow before proceeding.

Hi,

I am new to the project and would like to contribute to this issue.

I was thinking of starting by fixing a few spelling mistakes (5–10) in documentation files as a first contribution.

Please let me know if this approach works.

Thank you!

Hi,

I have submitted a PR fixing a few spelling mistakes in README.rst as part of issue #4719.

Please review and let me know if any changes are required.

Thank you!
