## Resolved Issues
### 1. Type Checking Errors
**Issue**: MyPy reported type annotation issues
**Resolution**:
- Fixed `safe_get` function to accept `dict[str, Any] | None`
- Made `ToolHandlerBase` abstract with proper `handle` method signature
- All 49 source files now pass type checking
### 2. Code Quality Issues
**Issue**: Ruff linting failures and formatting inconsistencies
**Resolution**:
- Removed unused variables and imports
- Fixed formatting issues (trailing whitespace, line endings)
- Simplified complex conditionals
- All code now passes quality checks
### 3. Docker Workflow Modernization
**Issue**: Legacy Docker build action and missing security features
**Resolution**:
- Upgraded to `docker/build-push-action@v6`
- Added comprehensive security scanning and signing
- Implemented multi-registry publishing
- Enhanced caching and metadata
### 4. YAML Validation
**Issue**: Helm templates failing YAML validation
**Resolution**:
- Excluded Helm template directory from YAML validation
- Helm templates use templating syntax that doesn't parse as pure YAML
- Pre-commit hooks now pass completely
