I'm having trouble with adding the # nocov comment at the top of backend.hooks. It seems to only be working on the first import line instead of the whole file.

I decided to add nocov comments to every import/function. Let me know if there's a more concise way to do it, because I couldn't figure it out.

Why do you mean by pin mypy?

I don't see how my changes could have caused the lint error we're seeing, so I think I'm good to add `mypy` to the most recent version that doesn't break...
