# General Code Quality Cleanup

Address various code quality issues including unused arguments, type ignores, and list optimizations.

## Problem Statement

Multiple reviewers identified smaller code quality issues that accumulate to technical debt. These include unused arguments in `workflow.py`, specific type ignores in `db.py`, and list comprehension optimizations in `core.py`.

## Findings

1. **`src/helia/assessment/core.py`**:
   - Optimize list comprehension.
2. **`src/helia/agent/workflow.py`**:
   - Rename unused `state` arguments to `_state`.
3. **`src/helia/assessment/core.py`**:
   - Use dependency injection for `PHQ8Evaluator`.
4. **`src/helia/db.py`**:
   - PGH003: Narrow `type: ignore` to `type: ignore[arg-type]`.
5. **General**:
   - Recommends generator expression for join operations.

## Proposed Solutions

### Option 1: Batch Cleanup

**Approach:** Go through each file and apply the specific fix.

**Pros:**
- Cleans up "broken windows".
- Improves linting scores.

## Recommended Action

**To be filled during triage.**

## Technical Details

**Affected files:**
- `src/helia/assessment/core.py`
- `src/helia/agent/workflow.py`
- `src/helia/db.py`

## Resources

- **Source:** Kieran Python Reviewer, Security Sentinel, Pattern Recognition Specialist

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `src/helia/assessment/core.py`: List comprehension optimized.
- [ ] `src/helia/agent/workflow.py`: Unused args renamed to `_state`.
- [ ] `src/helia/db.py`: `type: ignore` narrowed.
- [ ] `src/helia/assessment/core.py`: Dependency injection pattern reviewed/applied.
