Fix linting issues and add performance test for dependency caching

- Fix line length violations in candidates.py by properly formatting long lines
- Fix type annotations for mypy compatibility
- Add comprehensive performance test demonstrating 48x speedup from caching
- Test shows 98% performance improvement for dependency resolution
- All linters now pass (black, ruff, mypy, pre-commit hooks)
