Apply additional ruff suggestions

Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.

#1055 enabled most ruff rules, but became a very large PR. Many rules were just added to the ignore list in pyproject.toml. It would be good to enable all rules we can.

Describe the solution you'd like

We should go through these one by one and enable them and make the appropriate code improvements.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Leave as is.

Additional context

[Spaarsh]

Can I work on this? I've been going through the code base recently and understand ruff rules as well.

[timsaucer]

Certainly, but you probably want to wait until #1055 lands in main first.

[Spaarsh]

Sure. I'll begin the work as soon as it is merged to main.

Since #1055 has been merged, I have begun work on this on my fork here
