feat: setup basedpyright

[Paillat-dev]

In an effort to have better typing, this sets up basedpyright with the "baseline" feature, which will ignore all typing errors from before this pull request and allow for gradual typing of code. Idk if this is the best, but I figured I might as well try. This needs #4 to be merged first.

Pull Request Overview

This pull request adds a basedpyright CI job with a “baseline” configuration and modernizes type annotations across the codebase by replacing Union[...] with the new | syntax, plus a couple of strict-parameter adjustments in zip calls.

• Introduce basedpyright run in GitHub Actions for gradual typing
• Replace typing.Union annotations with PEP 604-style unions (A | B)
• Add explicit strict=False to zip in two methods (though default is already False)
• Update changelog to note removal of Python 3.9 support

• You removed the Union import at the top but still reference Union here, which will cause a NameError. Re-import Union or replace this with the modern | syntax.

annotation = Union[annotation.__args__[:-1]]  # noqa: UP007
