Enable the @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars eslint rule (#2130)

## Description:

### ✅ Summary of Changes

This PR enables the ESLint rule **`@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars`**
as requested in the issue and applies the necessary code adjustments
across the project.

#### 🔧 What was done:
- Activated the rule `@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars` in the ESLint
config.
- Updated ~70 files to comply with the rule:
  - Replaced unused variables with a `_` prefix where appropriate.
- Added inline ESLint disable comments (`eslint-disable-next-line`) for
specific cases where the variable or code block seemed important for
context, readability, or future use.
- Ensured no linting errors remain related to this rule.

---

### ❓ Clarification

Some cases were handled with inline disable comments instead of removing
the variable entirely, to avoid accidental breaking changes or loss of
intent.
If a different approach is preferred (e.g., stricter removal or
alternative handling), I’m happy to adjust the implementation
accordingly — just let me know!

---

### 🙌 Next Steps

Please review and let me know if:
- Any file should be handled differently.
- You prefer removal instead of disabling in certain areas.
- Additional rules should be enforced or reverted.

I’m available to make any follow-up improvements needed.
