fix: address mypy type errors in multiple files

- Fix return type and argument handling in cache_tools.py
- Add missing return statements in agent.py
- Fix _inject_date_to_task signature to accept Task object
- Remove unused type:ignore comments in tool_usage.py
- Add type annotations to internal methods in mem0_storage.py
