[QA] Replace blanket `type: ignore` with precise typing (or real types)

[dineshpinto]

• Description
  • Audit src/ for bare # type: ignore and either:
    • Fix the typing (add annotations, generics, TypedDict/Protocol, overload, cast, Literal, Final, etc.), or
    • Use narrow suppressions (e.g., # type: ignore[call-arg]) with a short rationale.
    • Prefer real typing over ignores. No behavioral changes.
• Scope
  • Files under flare_ai_kit/src/*.py.
  • No new runtime deps; typing_extensions is fine if needed for backports.
  • If a code change (beyond types) seems necessary, comment first.
• Acceptance criteria
  • Zero bare # type: ignore in src/ (all ignores are code-specific, e.g., ignore[...]).
  • Where possible, ignores replaced by proper types.
  • Pyright (no new errors) and CI green.
• Deliverables
  • Updated annotations across src/.
  • List of remaining suppressions with reasons (in PR description).
• Key Files Involved (Proposed)
  • flare_ai_kit/src/*.py

Hello @dineshpinto, top of the morning, my name is Daniel and I'll love to work on this issue.

I have a strong background working with Python typing, including generics, TypedDicts, Protocols, & narrowing down type suppressions for cleaner and more maintainable code. I’ve handled projects where removing broad # type: ignore statements and replacing them with precise typing was essential for long-term stability.

For this issue, I’d go through the codebase to replace bare ignores with either proper type annotations or more specific suppressions, making sure typing remains strict without changing runtime behavior. I’d also ensure the updates pass Pyright and CI checks so the code stays consistent, type-safe, and easier to work with. I would really love the opportunity of contributing to the repo if given the chance, have a great day.
