Fix GitHub Actions workflows and type checking errors

Workflow Fixes:
- Fix YAML syntax in check_pull_request_title.yml
- Remove problematic types parameter (not needed with custom subjectPattern)

Type Checking Fixes (66 errors resolved):
- Keep strict mypy flags enabled (disallow_any_generics, warn_unreachable)
- Add explicit type parameters throughout (dict[str, Any], list[Any], set[Any])
- Add type annotations to helper functions (_is_union_type, etc.)
- Fix PathLike type parameter (Union[str, os.PathLike[str]])
- Add proper type hints to levenshtein_distance and ensure_tuple
- Add type assertions for dataclass field types
- Handle false positive unreachable warnings with targeted type ignores

Files modified:
- schema.py, coercion.py: Type annotations and assertions
- config.py, loader.py, items.py: Dict/list/set type parameters
- preprocessor.py, operators.py, resolver.py: Type parameters
- utils/types.py, utils/misc.py, utils/module.py: Type fixes
- errors/suggestions.py: Levenshtein distance types

All 24 source files pass strict type checking.
