Mozhii RAG Data Platform - Flask Application Factory
=============================================================================
This module contains the Flask application factory function.
The factory pattern allows us to create multiple instances of the app,
which is useful for testing and running different configurations.

Architecture:
    - Flask as the web framework
    - Blueprint-based routing for modular code organization
    - Service layer for business logic separation
    - Local storage with HuggingFace sync capability
=============================================================================

    Application factory function.
    
    This function creates and configures the Flask application.
    Using a factory pattern allows for:
    - Multiple app instances with different configs
    - Better testing capabilities
    - Delayed initialization of extensions
