Open source isn't Optional[X]

Thanks for opening this up. One small thing: the Python half predates its own tooling. phoenix/ and bdsm/ both have a [tool.ruff] section, but it only sets line-length, so nothing is actually enforced. Under a normal ruff config that's 1,487 findings: 366 Optional[X], 231 typing.List/typing.Dict, 198 files with unsorted imports.

None of it changes what anyone's feed does. All of it changes how readable the code is, and for most people reading it, this repo is the reference.

I have a branch that adds a shared root ruff.toml, points the two existing configs at it, and applies the safe autofixes only: 246 files, +1304/−1280, everything byte-compiles, and the 403 findings that need human judgment are left alone. PR to follow if there's interest.

Start with the existing [tool.ruff] sections in phoenix/ and bdsm/ and the proposed shared root ruff.toml. Run Ruff under the shared configuration and verify the safe autofixes across the 246 files; done means the code byte-compiles while the 403 findings requiring human judgment remain unresolved.
