Refactor test utilities and enhance ASGI settings

- Cleaned up and standardized assertions in ApiTestMixin for API response validation.
- Updated ASGI settings to use os.environ for setting the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE.
- Removed unused imports and improved formatting in settings.py.
- Refactored URL patterns in urls.py for better readability and organization.
- Enhanced view functions in views.py for consistency and clarity.
- Added .flake8 configuration for linting and style enforcement.
- Introduced type stubs for django-environ to improve type checking with Pylance.
