Turn on mypy warn_return_any (pyproject) and resolve the 84 resulting
[no-any-return] errors across 43 files with typing.cast() at the return
sites — runtime no-ops that make the declared return type explicit where a
dependency (SQLAlchemy scalar/first/one, httpx .json(), subprocess, docker
SDK) hands back Any. No behavior change: no DTO/table field types altered, no
validation/coercion calls added, every cast reflects the true runtime type.
Locks in return-type strictness so the class of bug where a function silently
widens to Any can't regress. mypy decnet/ clean; adversarially verified
behavior-preserving (84 casts 1:1 with prior returns).
Bump tornado 6.5.5 -> 6.5.7 (CVE-2026-49854, transitive via snakeviz).
