Description

This PR addresses a batch of type errors identified by pyright and ensures make precommit runs cleanly. The primary motivation was to reduce the overall count of type checking issues, improving code quality and maintainability.

Key changes include:

• Adjusted OpenAI tool definitions to use List[dict] for broader compatibility and implemented a runtime import strategy for OpenAI in orchestrator.py and mcp_multi_client.py.
• Corrected return types and default factories in playback_policy.py and models.py.
• Improved type safety and handling of optional values in simple_process_manager.py and mcp_agent/main.py.
• Relaxed Docker SDK type annotations to Any to prevent conflicts in docker_resource.py.
• Normalized tool results and rollout outputs to List[Dict[str, Any]] in default_agent_rollout_processor.py and task_manager.py.

Additional context

Pre-commit now runs cleanly, and the number of basedpyright errors has been materially reduced across the codebase, with at least 10 specific issues addressed. Remaining errors are concentrated in agent/task_manager.py, dataset/benchmarks, and several integration modules.
