Python 3.12 PEP 698: use @typing.override to enforce method overriding in subclasses

Python 3.12 introduced @typing.override (PEP 698) to indicate that a method is intended to override a method in a base class, catching typo bugs at type-check time.

💡 Verified Solution

Import override from typing and decorate subclass methods with @override.
