fix: address PR review feedback with improved type safety and testing

- Improve type annotations using NDArray[np.floating[Any]] for better precision
- Add model type validation in factory with explicit ML_MODEL_TYPES set
- Reduce test file system dependencies by using temporary model files
- Add comprehensive validation tests for unknown model types and error messages
- Replace pytest.skip with robust temporary file generation for consistent testing
- Enhance error messages with specific guidance about model file requirements

Type Safety: More precise numpy array type annotations for better IDE support
Validation: Explicit validation prevents configuration errors with clear error messages
Test Reliability: Tests now run consistently regardless of file system state
Code Quality: Improved maintainability and developer experience
