ci: run mypy on tests and add initial typing for ssh and tui tests

Description

What is this PR

• Bug fix
• Addition of a new feature
• Other

Why is this PR needed?
Tests were previously excluded from mypy to avoid maintenance burden.
To evaluate feasibility and improve readability where helpful, this PR enables mypy checking for tests and adds an initial, minimal set of type hints. This helps surface real typing issues early and establishes patterns for future incremental improvements.

What does this PR do?
Enables mypy checking for test files.
Adds minimal, targeted type hints to selected SSH test files.

Thanks @ishan372or! please see review, I think instead of using Any we can narrow this to Datashuttle class. If we type hint the output of a function, or a single input, we should probably type the entire function (all inputs and outputs).

cool I've not seen this syntax before, what does it do?

[ishan372or]

!r on f-string calls repr() instead of str(). In this case of stdout and stderr mypy raises a str-bytes-safe warning when formatting bytes directly into a string. Using repr() makes the conversion explicit which satisfies mypy's check.
