Description

This pull request implements a comprehensive request validation middleware system for the Web3 Student Lab backend API. The implementation uses zod for type-safe validation and provides reusable middleware functions that can be applied across all API endpoints. This replaces manual validation logic with a standardized approach that returns consistent 400 error responses with detailed field-level validation messages, improving API reliability and developer experience.

This addresses issue StellarDevHub#29 by providing clear guidance for educational interactions.
I added the missing 'jobs:' section to the ci.yml file to ensure proper GitHub Actions workflow execution.

This fix prevents workflow failures and ensures CI runs properly on pull requests.
I added zod dependency and created reusable validation middleware with comprehensive error handling.

This addresses issue StellarDevHub#31 by providing standardized API request validation with descriptive 400 error messages.
