Pin mypy==1.18.2

[George-Ogden]

Pin mypy version and fix errors
Now, the CI will fail when the types are incorrect

[Copilot]

Pull request overview

This PR pins mypy to version 1.18.2 and addresses type checking errors to enable strict type checking in CI. The changes remove continue-on-error: true from the mypy CI step and restrict mypy execution to Python 3.9+, ensuring that type errors will now cause CI failures.

• Pins mypy version and restricts it to Python 3.9+ environments
• Adds specific type ignore comments with error codes for legitimate type checking edge cases
• Fixes type annotations and removes unnecessary casts
• Prevents pytest from treating test utility classes as test classes

Thanks a lot for making this happen!

Apologies for unleashing AI as well, but I think it can be helpful given that I don't really know python anymore, and am quite clueless 😅.

Thanks a lot, let's do it then!
