Remove explicit annotaion for Mypy to infer type

[uranusjr]

This allows task() to have the correct return type instead of being Any and make everything untyped.

I’m not sure why Any was added in the first place, but Mypy seems to be fine with this change locally on my machine, so let’s see how it goes in CI. It did improve a lot since a year ago.

Fix #32384.

Hah, static check is failing. Not unexpected.

Note that Mypy is not happy about this change. If you would like this to go in, feel free to build on this change and make Mypy pass.

Addresses issue #32384 by updating the return type of task() to the correct type, removing the 'Any' type and ensuring everything is properly typed. The initial inclusion of 'Any' in the return type is unclear, and though I'm uncertain of its original purpose, locally testing with Mypy shows compatibility with this change.

Let's monitor the CI results to confirm its effectiveness across different environments. It's worth noting that Mypy has improved significantly over the past year, and this adjustment aligns with the ongoing efforts to enhance type safety. Your feedback and observations are welcome as we evaluate the impact of this modification.

Thank you for bringing attention to this issue, and I look forward to collaborating on its resolution.
