chore(mypy): part-04 resolve mypy errors in meta_reference agents (#3969)

## Summary
Fixes all mypy type errors in `providers/inline/agents/meta_reference/`
and removes exclusions from pyproject.toml.

## Changes
- Fix type annotations for Safety API message parameters
(OpenAIMessageParam)
- Add Action enum usage in access control checks
- Correct method signatures to match API supertype (parameter ordering)
- Handle optional return types with proper None checks
- Remove 3 meta_reference exclusions from mypy config

**Files fixed:** 25 errors across 3 files (safety.py, persistence.py,
agents.py)
