chore: Migrate from mypy to ty for type checking (#137)

Fixed all typing issues across the entire codebase:

**Examples (5 fixes):**
- error_handling.py: Fixed async callable type annotation and exception handling
- low_stock_monitoring.py: Added VariantResponse type checking

**Generated code (47 fixes via patterns):**
- Added type: ignore[arg-type] to all .from_dict(data) calls in API files
- Added type: ignore[misc] to from_dict method signatures in model files
- Fixed to_dict() calls in receive_purchase_order.py
- Updated regeneration script to apply these fixes automatically

**Core code (5 fixes):**
- utils.py: Fixed list append type inference
- domain/converters.py: Fixed product_or_material_name and deleted_at type inference

**Configuration:**
- Excluded katana_mcp_server/ from typecheck (separate package with own config)

**Results:**
- Before: 57 diagnostics
- After: 0 diagnostics (All checks passed!)
- All 1666 tests passing

Improved type checking approach:
- Use `typing.cast()` for explicit type narrowing in generated API code
- Replaced 3 type: ignore comments with proper cast() calls
- Better documented MCP server exclusion (separate workspace package)
- All ty checks passing with proper type safety

Current type: ignore count: 310 total
- Models (generated): 266 (from openapi-python-client generator)
- Core code: 22 (legitimate edge cases)
- Tests: 9 (pytest.raises type narrowing)
- Scripts: 6 (script utilities)
- API (generated): 4 (to_dict calls)
- Examples: 3 (isinstance narrowing limitations)

1. Improved ty configuration documentation in pyproject.toml
   - Added clearer comment explaining ty's limited config support
   - Documented that exclusions are handled via command line flags

2. Enhanced error handling in regenerate_client.py
   - Replaced silent exception catching with explicit error logging
   - Now prints warnings when files can't be processed

3. Restructured error_handling.py retry logic
   - Removed unreachable code that only existed for type checker
   - Added input validation for max_attempts parameter
   - Used assertion to prove last_exception is set before raising
   - Cleaner logic flow without type checker workarounds
