fix: Consolidate type and parameter fixes across multiple modules

- API: Standardized 'order_by_li' types in event and archive modules.
- API: Corrected 'enabled'/'hidden' parameter types in event exhibit and device search/list functions.
- Type Safety: Addressed generic type casting issues in _process_generic_props across event modules.
- Data Handling: Resolved return type consistency in journal creation and DB save operations.
- Parameter Management: Fixed missing 'try_cache' parameters in event exhibit functions.
- Core Logic: Ensured correct object properties in DB put operations for hosted files.
