Don't make it optional, then. Use pyright or mypy in strict mode. Make it part of your lint task, have the agent run lint often, forbid it from using `type: ignore`, and review every `Any` and `cast` usage.

If you're using CI, make a type error cause the job to fail.

It's not the same as using a language with a proper type system (e.g. Rust), but it's a big step in the right direction.
