Description of developer facing changes:

Updates lint tooling

Description of development approach:

1. Update pyproject.toml and similar config files

   • move to maintained fork of action lint: rhysd (the author) inactive. Any active forks? rhysd/actionlint#719
     • allows us to delete lint rule suppressing issues with parallel jobs
   • update lint group
   • update ruff rules:
     • ensure import sorting is treated as an unsafe fix, as it is unsafe. this will require us to use noqa comments. the alternative is to ignore import sorting all together
     • ignore their warnings about module names that involve capital letters

2. Run formatting tools (refer to commit messages)

3. manual cleanup

Pull request overview

This PR updates NVDA’s lint toolchain and applies broad, lint-driven mechanical edits across the codebase (typing modernizations, import handling, and style cleanups), plus a changelog note for the dependency bumps.

Changes:

• Bump lint tooling versions (ruff/prek/pyright/ty) and adjust Ruff configuration (including treating import sorting as an unsafe fix).
• Apply repo-wide lint cleanups (type annotation updates, super() simplifications, exception modernizations, and targeted noqa additions).
• Update user_docs/en/changes.md with the dependency updates and remove the dedicated Actionlint config file.
