## 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
This is a follow-up to https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19321.
Now lazy snapshots are updated to take into account new bindings on
every symbol reassignment.
```python
def outer(x: A | None):
if x is None:
x = A()
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A
def inner() -> None:
# lazy snapshot: {x: A}
reveal_type(x) # revealed: A
inner()
def outer() -> None:
x = None
x = 1
def inner() -> None:
# lazy snapshot: {x: Literal[1]} -> {x: Literal[1, 2]}
reveal_type(x) # revealed: Literal[1, 2]
inner()
x = 2
```
Closesastral-sh/ty#559.
## Test Plan
Some TODOs in `public_types.md` now work properly.

## Summary
Reported in:
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19795#issuecomment-3161981945
If a root expression is reassigned, narrowing on the member should be
invalidated, but there was an oversight in the current implementation.
This PR fixes that, and also removes some unnecessary handling.
## Test Plan
New tests cases in `narrow/conditionals/nested.md`.
## Summary
This is a follow-up to #19321.
Narrowing constraints introduced in a class scope were not applied even
when they can be applied in lazy nested scopes. This PR fixes so that
they are now applied.
Conversely, there were cases where narrowing constraints were being
applied in places where they should not, so it is also fixed.
## Test Plan
Some TODOs in `narrow/conditionals/nested.md` are now work correctly.
## Summary
This is a follow-up to #19321.
If we try to access a class variable before it is defined, the variable
is looked up in the global scope, rather than in any enclosing scopes.
Closes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/875.
## Test Plan
New tests in `narrow/conditionals/nested.md`.

## Summary
Add type narrowing inside comprehensions:
```py
def _(xs: list[int | None]):
[reveal_type(x) for x in xs if x is not None] # revealed: int
```

## Test Plan
* New Markdown tests
* Made sure the example from https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/680
now checks without errors
* Made sure that all removed ecosystem diagnostics were actually false
positives
## Summary
This PR closesastral-sh/ty#164.
This PR introduces a basic type narrowing mechanism for
attribute/subscript expressions.
Member accesses, int literal subscripts, string literal subscripts are
supported (same as mypy and pyright).
## Test Plan
New test cases are added to `mdtest/narrow/complex_target.md`.

## Summary
This PR partially solves https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/164
(derived from #17643).
Currently, the definitions we manage are limited to those for simple
name (symbol) targets, but we expand this to track definitions for
attribute and subscript targets as well.
This was originally planned as part of the work in #17643, but the
changes are significant, so I made it a separate PR.
After merging this PR, I will reflect this changes in #17643.
There is still some incomplete work remaining, but the basic features
have been implemented, so I am publishing it as a draft PR.
Here is the TODO list (there may be more to come):
* [x] Complete rewrite and refactoring of documentation (removing
`Symbol` and replacing it with `Place`)
* [x] More thorough testing
* [x] Consolidation of duplicated code (maybe we can consolidate the
handling related to name, attribute, and subscript)
This PR replaces the current `Symbol` API with the `Place` API, which is
a concept that includes attributes and subscripts (the term is borrowed
from Rust).
## Test Plan
`mdtest/narrow/assignment.md` is added.
