fix(ci): add ruff config, clean lint in dev-api.py + scripts

- Add pyproject.toml with ruff per-file-ignores:
  - Exclude deprecated app/ Streamlit dir entirely
  - Suppress E702 in dev-api.py (intentional compact Pydantic models)
  - Suppress E402 in finetune_local.py (conditional ML imports after CUDA check)
  - Suppress F841/E741/E702 in tests/ (mock-patch capture pattern)
- Remove unused db_path_obj assignment in dev-api.py:760
- Add # noqa: E402 to documented mid-file imports in dev-api.py
- Rename ambiguous l variable to line/lbl in finetune_local.py + label_tool.py
