Subject: [PATCH] fix: add type annotations and fix mypy errors

- Fix serialize_results return type annotation in alloc/core.py
- Fix unreachable code detection for numpy scalar types
- Fix Optional[TrainingTrial] type in alloc/cli.py
- Fix type annotations in alloc/models/networks.py
- All 465 tests pass, ruff clean, mypy clean

+# TICKET-036: Add type annotations to core modules
+
+**Module:** `alloc/core.py`, `alloc/lib/*.py`
+**Priority:** Medium — improve type safety
+
+## What to Implement
+
+Run mypy in strict mode and add missing type hints:
+1. `alloc/core.py` — SimulationRunner methods
+2. `alloc/lib/cache.py` — DiskCache methods
+3. `alloc/lib/client.py` — PolygonClient methods
+
+## Verification
+
+- mypy alloc/ --ignore-missing-imports passes
+- All tests pass
