Refactor core.py and update pyproject.toml configuration

Within core.py, the import statement for the 'Sized' attribute from 'collections.abc' is moved under a TYPE_CHECKING condition for better import flow control. The Ruff lint configuration in pyproject.toml has been simplified to select specific error codes and the `show-fixes` option has been enabled, allowing visibility of possible fixes for erring lines.
