Summarize what the PR does, explaining any non-trivial design decisions.

This configures mypy to require type annotations including return types on a subset of files in openhands.server. Requiring these should catching missing None checks such as this recent runtime exception:

openhands/server/conversation_manager/standalone_conversation_manager.py", line 136, in detach_from_conversation
    sid = conversation.sid
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'sid'

Eventually, everything in openhands.server and anything we consider an integration point should probably have this enabled, but starting with a small change.

As expected, the CI linter catches these missing types now...

Closed because the missing validation is better achieved by making sure the globals like conversation_manager had type anotations.
