## Summary
Quoting from the newly added comment:
Module-level globals can be mutated externally. A `MY_CONSTANT = 1`
global might be changed to `"some string"` from code outside of the
module that we're looking at, and so from a gradual-guarantee
perspective, it makes sense to infer a type of `Literal[1] | Unknown`
for global symbols. This allows the code that does the mutation to type
check correctly, and for code that uses the global, it accurately
reflects the lack of knowledge about the type.
External modifications (or modifications through `global` statements)
that would require a wider type are relatively rare. From a practical
perspective, we can therefore achieve a better user experience by
trusting the inferred type. Users who need the external mutation to work
can always annotate the global with the wider type. And everyone else
benefits from more precise type inference.
I initially implemented this by applying literal promotion to the type
of the unannotated module globals (as suggested in
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1069), but the ecosystem impact
showed a lot of problems (https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/20643).
I fixed/patched some of these problems, but this PR seems like a good
first step, and it seems sensible to apply the literal promotion change
in a second step that can be evaluated separately.

## Ecosystem impact
This seems like an (unexpectedly large) net positive with 650 fewer
diagnostics overall.. even though this change will certainly catch more
true positives.
* There are 666 removed `type-assertion-failure` diagnostics, where we
were previously used the correct type already, but removing the
`Unknown` now leads to an "exact" match.
* 1464 of the 1805 total new diagnostics are `unresolved-attribute`
errors, most (1365) of which were previously
`possibly-missing-attribute` errors. So they could also be counted as
"changed" diagnostics.
* For code that uses constants like
```py
IS_PYTHON_AT_LEAST_3_10 = sys.version_info >= (3, 10)
```
where we would have previously inferred a type of `Literal[True/False] |
Unknown`, removing the `Unknown` now allows us to do reachability
analysis on branches that use these constants, and so we get a lot of
favorable ecosystem changes because of that.
* There is code like the following, where we previously emitted
`conflicting-argument-forms` diagnostics on calls to the aliased
`assert_type`, because its type was `Unknown | def …` (and the call to
`Unknown` "used" the type form argument in a non type-form way):
```py
if sys.version_info >= (3, 11):
import typing
assert_type = typing.assert_type
else:
import typing_extensions
assert_type = typing_extensions.assert_type
```
* ~100 new `invalid-argument-type` false positives, due to missing
`**kwargs` support (https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/247)
## Typing conformance
```diff
+protocols_modules.py:25:1: error[invalid-assignment] Object of type `<module '_protocols_modules1'>` is not assignable to `Options1`
```
This diagnostic should apparently not be there, but it looks like we
also fail other tests in that file, so it seems to be a limitation that
was previously hidden by `Unknown` somehow.
## Test Plan
Updated tests and relatively thorough ecosystem analysis.
## Summary
Part of https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/168. Infer more precise types for collection literals (currently, only `list` and `set`). For example,
```py
x = [1, 2, 3] # revealed: list[Unknown | int]
y: list[int] = [1, 2, 3] # revealed: list[int]
```
This could easily be extended to `dict` literals, but I am intentionally limiting scope for now.
## Summary
Adds validation to subscript assignment expressions.
```py
class Foo: ...
class Bar:
__setattr__ = None
class Baz:
def __setitem__(self, index: str, value: int) -> None:
pass
# We now emit a diagnostic on these statements
Foo()[1] = 2
Bar()[1] = 2
Baz()[1] = 2
```
Also improves error messages on invalid `__getitem__` expressions
## Test Plan
Update mdtests and add more to `subscript/instance.md`

Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/769.
**Updated:** The preferred approach here is to keep the SemanticIndex
simple (`del` of any name marks that name "bound" in the current scope)
and to move complexity to type inference (free variable resolution stops
when it finds a binding, unless that binding is declared `nonlocal`). As
part of this change, free variable resolution will now union the types
it finds as it walks in enclosing scopes. This approach is still
incomplete, because it doesn't consider inner scopes or sibling scopes,
but it improves the common case.

## Summary
This PR closes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/238.
Since `DefinitionState::Deleted` was introduced in #18041, support for
the `del` statement (and deletion of except handler names) is
straightforward.
However, it is difficult to determine whether references to attributes
or subscripts are unresolved after they are deleted. This PR only
invalidates narrowing by assignment if the attribute or subscript is
deleted.
## Test Plan
`mdtest/del.md` is added.
