The _get_services function in src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py is missing a return type annotation. Additionally, there is a bare except Exception: clause on line 192 of the same file.

To Reproduce:

Open src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py.
Observe the function definition on line 203: def _get_services():.
Observe the except clause on line 192: except Exception as exc:.

Expected Behavior:

The _get_services function should have a return type annotation.
Bare except Exception: clauses should be avoided in favor of more specific exception handling.

[AUTO-OWNR-1] Triage Decision (Cycle 3)

Status: ✅ Verified

MoSCoW: Should Have
Priority: Low

Rationale: Missing return type annotation on _get_services and a bare except Exception: clause are code quality issues that violate project standards for type safety and explicit error handling. These are not blockers but should be addressed to maintain codebase hygiene and avoid masking errors in production. Classified as Should Have since they improve maintainability without being functionally critical.

Next Steps: Assign to v3.2.0 milestone. Can be addressed in the same PR as #8570 (the architecture violation fix in the same file) to minimise churn. The return type annotation should be added and the bare except replaced with a specific exception type or re-raised with context.

Implementation Attempt - Tier 1 (Haiku)

Status: Implementation completed, PR creation pending

Changes Made

✅ Refactoring completed successfully:

Added return type annotation to _get_services() function:
- Return type: tuple[Any, Any | None]
- Location: src/cleveragents/cli/commands/actor.py, line 202
Replaced bare except Exception: clauses with specific exception types:
- In _compute_actor_impact() (3 locations):
  - Lines 235, 251, 272: Changed to except (AttributeError, RuntimeError):
  - Rationale: Defensive DB operation error handling
- In _load_config_text() (1 location):
  - Line 297: Changed to except (ValueError, AttributeError):
  - Rationale: YAML parsing error handling
Updated CHANGELOG.md:
- Added entry under "Changed" section documenting the refactoring improvements
- References issue #8567
