🧪 Q: [quality/testing improvement] Improve type-safety and fix translation tests

[pozar87]

This PR addresses several quality gaps identified during the audit:

1. Type Safety: Resolved multiple reportAttributeAccessIssue and reportIncompatibleMethodOverride errors in the NGC and Catalogs modules.
2. Robustness: Restored **kwargs to the NGC.get_visible override to ensure forward compatibility with the base Objects class.
3. Correctness: Compiled all mission-critical translation files (.mo), which resolved 17 failing tests related to internationalization (i18n).
4. Maintenance: Cleaned up unused imports using Ruff and refined the Pyright configuration to focus on core library code.

All 540 tests now pass with 0 type errors in the apts/ package.
