chore: optimize pre-commit, remove tracked binaries, fix lint issues

- Move slow hooks (mypy, pylint, bandit, pytest, prettier) to pre-push stage
- Remove redundant autoflake (ruff covers F401/F841)
- Fix shellcheck OOM by batching files with xargs -n 40
- Remove tracked .o, .wav, .pyc binaries from git
- Move pomodoro wav files to ../testsAndMisc_binaries/ with symlinks
- Add *.o, *.so, *.a to .gitignore
- Refactor hltb._pick_best_hltb_entry to fix C901/PLR0911/SIM102
- Fix SC2034 warnings in gif_to_square.sh and upgrade.sh
- Add disk_cleanup_check.sh script
- Various test and code improvements across screen_locker,
  steam_backlog_enforcer, word_frequency, moviepy_showcase

 ## Features in Detail
 
 ### Zooming
+
 - Use mouse wheel to zoom in/out at the mouse cursor position
 - Keyboard shortcuts: `+` to zoom in, `-` to zoom out
 - Zoom range: 0.1x to 10x
 - Smart zoom behavior focuses on mouse position
 
 ### Panning
+
 - Click and drag with left mouse button to move around zoomed images
 - Smooth panning for precise positioning
 - Works at any zoom level
 
 ### Auto-fit
+
 - Large images are automatically scaled to fit the window when first loaded
 - Press `F` to manually fit the current image to window
 - Maintains aspect ratio
 
 ### Window Management
+
 - Resizable window that adapts to content
 - Real-time rendering updates
 - Dark background for better image contrast
