Project: "Improve static analysis tests with JET" [$200]

We use JET for static analysis of the codebase. To claim this bounty, fix 2/3 of the reported warnings. Some of them are false positives that can be removed with extra type annotation. Some of them are due to dependencies, in which case you can simply blacklist the dependency (as already done). See the test_jet.jl test file and the JET CI run for the current state of affairs.

Required skills: General Julia and JET skills.

@Krastanov I would like to give this a shot. I am already a bit somewhat familiar with fixing JET related issue from my day job, see e.g. Nemocas/Nemo.jl#1762.

Currently, there are 146 issues reported by JET:

QuantumSavory.jl/test/test_jet.jl

Line 41 in 88d64ca

@test length(JET.get_reports(rep)) <= 146

2/3 of them is 97, so I would try to decrease the number by at least that amount.

That would be great! Thank you for your interest! I will mark this as reserved.
