Avoid stale lint failures from config helper imports

Move PyYAML loading into the helpers that read and write agent-context configuration, and replace the broad Any annotation with object. The runtime behavior stays the same while the module no longer exposes top-level imports that can be flagged as unused when CI analyzes a narrower code shape.

Constraint: CI is failing on F401 for top-level yaml and typing.Any imports in src/specify_cli/__init__.py

Rejected: Delete PyYAML usage entirely | agent-context config still needs YAML read/write support

Confidence: high

Scope-risk: narrow

Tested: uvx ruff check src/

Tested: .venv/bin/python -m pytest tests/integrations/test_integration_codex.py tests/integrations/test_integration_base_markdown.py -q
