ASSISTANT: Here are the necessary changes to fix the flake8 errors:
1. Correct the f-string to not use placeholders when not needed.
2. Add the missing blank line before the `main` function.

# Aider chat conversation:
USER: add a --auto-lint/--no-auto-lint switch
ASSISTANT: To add the `--auto-lint/--no-auto-lint` switch, we need to:
1. Add the new argument to the parser in `aider/args.py`.
Here is the *SEARCH/REPLACE* block:
aider/args.py
```python
<<<<<<< SEARCH

)
group.add_argument(
"--auto-lint",
action=argparse.BooleanOptionalAction,
default=True,
help="Enable/disable automatic linting after changes (default: True)",
)

ASSISTANT: The error is occurring because the `group` variable is not defined before it is used. We need to place the `--auto-lint` argument addition after the `group` variable is defined.
