• Removed stats initialization from MediaOrganizerBase to rely on StatisticsMixin.
• Ensured MediaOrganizer explicitly calls _init_statistics from StatisticsMixin for correct Statistics type usage.
• Typed config parameter in MediaOrganizer.__init__ as Optional[DictConfig].
• Updated organize method return type annotation and added a return path for non-watch mode to satisfy type hints.
• Ensured parallel_processor and batch_processor attributes are always initialized in MediaOrganizer.
• Added None check for search_db before attribute access in MediaOrganizer.
