Refined code insight
- Type checking refinements: Multiple false positives have been addressed, such as incorrect unhashable type warnings for sets ([PY-87206](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-87206)) and errors regarding Path definitions ([PY-89082](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-89082)).
- Tool stability: A fix has been implemented for a regression that prevented users from editing or creating new run configurations and Python tools - [PY-88807](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-88807).
