Pull request overview

This PR refactors the QA inference tests and model-generation scripts by removing unused parameters/variables and aligning validation helper signatures, reducing noise and potential lint issues across the QA tooling.

Changes:

• Simplifies test_util validation helpers by removing unused shape parameters for ensemble validation and making TRT/ONNX shape parameters optional (unused).
• Updates multiple QA tests and model-generation scripts to stop passing unused shape/model_version/create_savedmodel parameters.
• Removes unused exception bindings in except OSError blocks and updates copyright headers to 2026.

LGTM, but I do have a question with regards to no longer passing input_shape around.

Was this argument just ignored everywhere?
