Description
There are hundreds of instances where we are using `hasattr` in the code to refer to attributes in our python objects. There doesn't seem to be any good reason to do it this way and it makes for refactoring, code navigation, and debugging much more difficult.
An example:
```
# Store the function summary for future reference
if hasattr(self.bridge, "function_summaries"):
self.bridge.function_summaries[function_name] = ai_analysis.strip()
# Add to renamed functions panel for tracking (even if not renamed)
if hasattr(self, "renamed_functions_panel") and self.renamed_functions_panel:
# Extract address from current function result
```
Remove as many of these unnecessary `hasattr` as possible.

Research direction
Search the Python codebase for `hasattr` and review the surrounding attribute access, starting with the `self.bridge.function_summaries` and `self.renamed_functions_panel` examples in the issue. Separate unnecessary checks from cases that may be required for optional attributes, then run the repository's available checks to confirm behavior is preserved. Done means removing as many unnecessary uses as practical without breaking attribute access.
