Fix: resolve ruff linting issues for CI/CD compliance

- Fix RUF013: Convert implicit Optional to explicit str | None
- Fix RET503: Add explicit return statement for type safety
- Fix W293: Remove whitespace from blank lines (8 instances)
- Maintain try-except in loop for retry logic (PERF203 acceptable)

Ruff Compliance:
- ✅ Whitespace issues: Fixed (8/8)
- ✅ Type annotations: Fixed (1/1)
- ✅ Return statements: Fixed (1/1)
- ⚠️ Performance warning: Acceptable (retry logic requirement)

All 20 tests still passing ✅
CI/CD should now pass linting checks 🚀
