fix(legacy): silence ruff + mypy errors surfaced by litellm 1.83 bump

Three modules touched in Phase 0 surfaced latent issues:

  - llm/llm.py:_extract_thinking — choices[0].message can be None or a
    TextChoices variant without thinking_blocks under the new stubs.
    Narrow via getattr+Any; restructure return through the else block
    so try/except/else is ruff-clean (TRY300).
  - llm/__init__.py:litellm._logging._disable_debugging is now untyped;
    suppress with explicit type:ignore.
  - tools/notes/notes_actions.py:append_note_content — drop dead-code
    isinstance check (delta is typed str at the boundary), and cast the
    update_note return through a typed local in the try/else flow.

Plus per-file PLC0415 ignore for two modules whose lazy imports exist
to break the circular dependency on strix.telemetry. Pre-commit
auto-formatter strips inline #noqa comments, so the suppress lives in
pyproject.toml until the dep graph is refactored.

No behavior change. 165/165 tests pass.
