Summary of Changes

Hello @sugatmahanti, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request modernizes the type annotations within the entrypoint module, adopting the contemporary Python 3.10+ syntax for union types and built-in generics. This change enhances code readability and maintainability by simplifying type declarations, contributing to an ongoing codebase modernization effort. Additionally, it includes minor corrections for two typographical errors.

Highlights

• Modernized Type Annotations: Updated type hints across the entrypoint module to use the more concise | operator for union types and built-in generic types (e.g., list, dict) instead of typing.Union, typing.Optional, typing.List, typing.Dict. This aligns with Python 3.10+ syntax.
• Removed Redundant Imports: Eliminated imports for Dict, List, Optional, and Union from the typing module as they are no longer needed with the modernized syntax.
• Typo Corrections: Fixed two minor typos in comments and docstrings for improved clarity and accuracy.

Code Review

This pull request modernizes the type annotations in the entrypoint modules by using the | operator for unions and built-in generic types like list and dict. The changes are well-executed and improve code readability. I've also noted the typo fixes, which are appreciated. My review includes a couple of suggestions to further improve consistency and clarity, mainly related to ensuring type hints are specific and that docstrings are updated to match the new type hints.

Looks good though you'll need to fix the signoff issue on the commits
