fix(api): mypy no-redef and no-any-return errors on dev (CAR-1335)

The api typecheck job is continue-on-error but still posts a failure
status that blocks merges. Three pre-existing mypy errors on dev were
inherited by every PR based on it:

1. middleware/rate_limit.py: duplicate 'name already defined' for
   _public_limiter, _auth_limiter, _auth_strict_limiter (declared at
   lines 111-113 and again at 124-126). The second set is redundant
   because actual assignment happens inside the if/else below.
2. cache.py:43 - 'Returning Any' from .get(); the redis client's get()
   return type isn't narrowed to bytes|str, so the final 'return value'
   branch is Any. Wrap with str() to satisfy the declared str|None.
3. middleware/rate_limit.py:150 - 'Returning Any' from _get_client_ip.
   request.headers.get() and request.client.host are typed Any; wrap
   the branches with str() to match the declared str return.
