feat: improve code formatting and readability in model handlers

- Add blank line after module docstring for better PEP 8 compliance
- Reformat long lines to adhere to 88-character limit using Black-style formatting
- Improve string consistency by using double quotes consistently
- Enhance readability of complex list comprehensions and method calls
- Maintain all existing functionality while improving code structure
