refactor(browser): type BrowserManager.__aexit__ with stdlib exception types

[dhruvbatra]

What

BrowserManager.__aexit__ in src/frontend_visualqa/browser.py was typed:

async def __aexit__(self, exc_type: type | None, exc: BaseException | None, traceback: Any) -> None:

exc_type used a bare type | None and traceback used Any, even though Python's own async-context-manager protocol has concrete stdlib types for both: type[BaseException] | None for the exception class and types.TracebackType | None for the traceback object. This repo has repeatedly tightened Any-typed parameters to concrete types where every real call site's shape is already known (most recently #277/#281/#283/#284/#285/#288/#289/#290) — this is the same pattern applied to a dunder signature, using a stdlib type rather than a project type since none of the three parameters are project-defined.

Why it's safe

• Annotation-only: the method body is a single line, await self.close(), and never inspects exc_type, exc, or traceback.
• BrowserManager is only ever driven through async with BrowserManager(...) as manager: (13 call sites across tests/test_browser.py); nothing in the repo calls __aexit__ directly with explicit arguments, so no caller depends on the old bare signature.
• Zero behavior change — this is purely a static-typing correction matching contextlib/typeshed's standard __aexit__ signature shape.

Verification

• uv run pytest tests/ → 322 passed / 21 pre-existing environment-only Chromium-sandbox failures (identical before/after, confirmed via git stash).
• uv run ruff check src/ tests/ → clean.
• uv run ruff format --check src/ tests/ → same 7 pre-existing "would reformat" files as on main (not browser.py); no new formatting drift introduced.
• No mypy config in this repo, so no separate type-check gate to run.

Note

Low Risk
Annotation-only signature change with no runtime or control-flow impact.

Overview
Typing-only update to BrowserManager.__aexit__: exc_type is now type[BaseException] | None and traceback is TracebackType | None instead of a bare type and Any.

The method still only awaits close() and does not inspect those arguments. No behavior change.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

BrowserManager.__aexit__ now uses precise annotations for exception types and traceback values. The module imports TracebackType from the standard library.

Changes

BrowserManager exit typing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Type asynchronous context-manager exit parameters src/frontend_visualqa/browser.py	The module imports TracebackType. BrowserManager.__aexit__ now annotates exc_type as type[BaseException] | None and traceback as TracebackType | None.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 988a8

This PR only narrows the type annotations for BrowserManager.aexit without changing runtime behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.
