🎯 What: Removed the unused `from __future__ import annotations` import in `bench_throughput.py`.
💡 Why: Improves code maintainability and addresses a linting warning by removing dead code.
✅ Verification: Ran `ruff check` and `ruff format`, followed by executing the benchmark script itself to ensure it runs correctly. All unit tests passed.
✨ Result: Cleaner code without unused imports.
