Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's Python modules and locating uses of asyncio.set_event_loop_policy. Check how type warnings arise throughout the library and identify the scope of the required annotations. Done means the relevant public usage no longer produces type warnings and the deprecated event-loop policy usage is addressed.

Description

i'm trying to use livereload in a project which results in type warnings almost everywhere i use it.
set_event_loop_policy of asyncio is also supposed to be dropped in python 3.16.

i don't know much about ai harnesses yet, but would you mind if i open an ai assisted pr in a couple months, adding type hinting to the repo? (i think doing it manually is easy too, but might just take a bit too much time for people new to the codebase.) i'd be really happy if someone else, who already has experience with working on the codebase, does the work since it would definitely be easier for them.
