## Ecosystem analysis
* We see many removed `unresolved-attribute` false-positives for code
that makes use of sqlalchemy, as expected (see changes for `prefect`)
* We see many removed `call-non-callable` false-positives for uses of
`pytest.skip` and similar, as expected
* Most new diagnostics seem to be related to cases like the following,
where we previously inferred `int` for `Derived().x`, but now we infer
`int | None`. I think this should be a
conflicting-declarations/bad-override error anyway? The new behavior may
even be preferred here?
```py
class Base:
x: int | None
class Derived(Base):
def __init__(self):
self.x: int = 1
```
## Summary
Having a recursive type method to check whether a type is fully static
is inefficient, unnecessary, and makes us overly strict about subtyping
relations.
It's inefficient because we end up re-walking the same types many times
to check for fully-static-ness.
It's unnecessary because we can check relations involving the dynamic
type appropriately, depending whether the relation is subtyping or
assignability.
We use the subtyping relation to simplify unions and intersections. We
can usefully consider that `S <: T` for gradual types also, as long as
it remains true that `S | T` is equivalent to `T` and `S & T` is
equivalent to `S`.
One conservative definition (implemented here) that satisfies this
requirement is that we consider `S <: T` if, for every possible pair of
materializations `S'` and `T'`, `S' <: T'`. Or put differently the top
materialization of `S` (`S+` -- the union of all possible
materializations of `S`) is a subtype of the bottom materialization of
`T` (`T-` -- the intersection of all possible materializations of `T`).
In the most basic cases we can usefully say that `Any <: object` and
that `Never <: Any`, and we can handle more complex cases inductively
from there.
This definition of subtyping for gradual subtypes is not reflexive
(`Any` is not a subtype of `Any`).
As a corollary, we also remove `is_gradual_equivalent_to` --
`is_equivalent_to` now has the meaning that `is_gradual_equivalent_to`
used to have. If necessary, we could restore an
`is_fully_static_equivalent_to` or similar (which would not do an
`is_fully_static` pre-check of the types, but would instead pass a
relation-kind enum down through a recursive equivalence check, similar
to `has_relation_to`), but so far this doesn't appear to be necessary.
Credit to @JelleZijlstra for the observation that `is_fully_static` is
unnecessary and overly restrictive on subtyping.
There is another possible definition of gradual subtyping: instead of
requiring that `S+ <: T-`, we could instead require that `S+ <: T+` and
`S- <: T-`. In other words, instead of requiring all materializations of
`S` to be a subtype of every materialization of `T`, we just require
that every materialization of `S` be a subtype of _some_ materialization
of `T`, and that every materialization of `T` be a supertype of some
materialization of `S`. This definition also preserves the core
invariant that `S <: T` implies that `S | T = T` and `S & T = S`, and it
restores reflexivity: under this definition, `Any` is a subtype of
`Any`, and for any equivalent types `S` and `T`, `S <: T` and `T <: S`.
But unfortunately, this definition breaks transitivity of subtyping,
because nominal subclasses in Python use assignability ("consistent
subtyping") to define acceptable overrides. This means that we may have
a class `A` with `def method(self) -> Any` and a subtype `B(A)` with
`def method(self) -> int`, since `int` is assignable to `Any`. This
means that if we have a protocol `P` with `def method(self) -> Any`, we
would have `B <: A` (from nominal subtyping) and `A <: P` (`Any` is a
subtype of `Any`), but not `B <: P` (`int` is not a subtype of `Any`).
Breaking transitivity of subtyping is not tenable, so we don't use this
definition of subtyping.
## Test Plan
Existing tests (modified in some cases to account for updated
semantics.)
Stable property tests pass at a million iterations:
`QUICKCHECK_TESTS=1000000 cargo test -p ty_python_semantic -- --ignored
types::property_tests::stable`
### Changes to property test type generation
Since we no longer have a method of categorizing built types as
fully-static or not-fully-static, I had to add a previously-discussed
feature to the property tests so that some tests can build types that
are known by construction to be fully static, because there are still
properties that only apply to fully-static types (for example,
reflexiveness of subtyping.)
## Changes to handling of `*args, **kwargs` signatures
This PR "discovered" that, once we allow non-fully-static types to
participate in subtyping under the above definitions, `(*args: Any,
**kwargs: Any) -> Any` is now a subtype of `() -> object`. This is true,
if we take a literal interpretation of the former signature: all
materializations of the parameters `*args: Any, **kwargs: Any` can
accept zero arguments, making the former signature a subtype of the
latter. But the spec actually says that `*args: Any, **kwargs: Any`
should be interpreted as equivalent to `...`, and that makes a
difference here: `(...) -> Any` is not a subtype of `() -> object`,
because (unlike a literal reading of `(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any)`),
`...` can materialize to _any_ signature, including a signature with
required positional arguments.
This matters for this PR because it makes the "any two types are both
assignable to their union" property test fail if we don't implement the
equivalence to `...`. Because `FunctionType.__call__` has the signature
`(*args: Any, **kwargs: Any) -> Any`, and if we take that at face value
it's a subtype of `() -> object`, making `FunctionType` a subtype of `()
-> object)` -- but then a function with a required argument is also a
subtype of `FunctionType`, but not a subtype of `() -> object`. So I
went ahead and implemented the equivalence to `...` in this PR.
## Ecosystem analysis
* Most of the ecosystem report are cases of improved union/intersection
simplification. For example, we can now simplify a union like `bool |
(bool & Unknown) | Unknown` to simply `bool | Unknown`, because we can
now observe that every possible materialization of `bool & Unknown` is
still a subtype of `bool` (whereas before we would set aside `bool &
Unknown` as a not-fully-static type.) This is clearly an improvement.
* The `possibly-unresolved-reference` errors in sockeye, pymongo,
ignite, scrapy and others are true positives for conditional imports
that were formerly silenced by bogus conflicting-declarations (which we
currently don't issue a diagnostic for), because we considered two
different declarations of `Unknown` to be conflicting (we used
`is_equivalent_to` not `is_gradual_equivalent_to`). In this PR that
distinction disappears and all equivalence is gradual, so a declaration
of `Unknown` no longer conflicts with a declaration of `Unknown`, which
then results in us surfacing the possibly-unbound error.
* We will now issue "redundant cast" for casting from a typevar with a
gradual bound to the same typevar (the hydra-zen diagnostic). This seems
like an improvement.
* The new diagnostics in bandersnatch are interesting. For some reason
primer in CI seems to be checking bandersnatch on Python 3.10 (not yet
sure why; this doesn't happen when I run it locally). But bandersnatch
uses `enum.StrEnum`, which doesn't exist on 3.10. That makes the `class
SimpleDigest(StrEnum)` a class that inherits from `Unknown` (and
bypasses our current TODO handling for accessing attributes on enum
classes, since we don't recognize it as an enum class at all). This PR
improves our understanding of assignability to classes that inherit from
`Any` / `Unknown`, and we now recognize that a string literal is not
assignable to a class inheriting `Any` or `Unknown`.
## Summary
Note this modifies the diagnostics a bit. Previously performing
subscript access on something like `NotSubscriptable1 |
NotSubscriptable2` would report the full type as not being
subscriptable:
```
[non-subscriptable] "Cannot subscript object of type `NotSubscriptable1 | NotSubscriptable2` with no `__getitem__` method"
```
Now each erroneous constituent has a separate error:
```
[non-subscriptable] "Cannot subscript object of type `NotSubscriptable2` with no `__getitem__` method"
[non-subscriptable] "Cannot subscript object of type `NotSubscriptable1` with no `__getitem__` method"
```

## Summary
Add support for `@staticmethod`s. Overall, the changes are very similar
to #16305.
#18587 will be dependent on this PR for a potential fix of
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/207.
mypy_primer will look bad since the new code allows ty to check more
code.
## Test Plan
Added new markdown tests. Please comment if there's any missing tests
that I should add in, thank you.
## Summary
This PR resolves the way diagnostics are reported for an invalid call to
an overloaded function.
If any of the steps in the overload call evaluation algorithm yields a
matching overload but it's type checking that failed, the
`no-matching-overload` diagnostic is incorrect because there is a
matching overload, it's the arguments passed that are invalid as per the
signature. So, this PR improves that by surfacing the diagnostics on the
matching overload directly.
It also provides additional context, specifically the matching overload
where this error occurred and other non-matching overloads. Consider the
following example:
```py
from typing import overload
@overload
def f() -> None: ...
@overload
def f(x: int) -> int: ...
@overload
def f(x: int, y: int) -> int: ...
def f(x: int | None = None, y: int | None = None) -> int | None:
return None
f("a")
```

## Test Plan
Update test cases, resolve existing todos and validate the updated
snapshots.
## Summary
Closes: astral-sh/ty#552
This PR adds support for step 5 of the overload call evaluation
algorithm which specifies:
> For all arguments, determine whether all possible materializations of
the argument’s type are
> assignable to the corresponding parameter type for each of the
remaining overloads. If so,
> eliminate all of the subsequent remaining overloads.
The algorithm works in two parts:
1. Find out the participating parameter indexes. These are the
parameters that aren't gradual equivalent to one or more parameter types
at the same index in other overloads.
2. Loop over each overload and check whether that would be the _final_
overload for the argument types i.e., the remaining overloads will never
be matched against these argument types
For step 1, the participating parameter indexes are computed by just
comparing whether all the parameter types at the corresponding index for
all the overloads are **gradual equivalent**.
The step 2 of the algorithm used is described in [this
comment](https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/552#issuecomment-2969165421).
## Test Plan
Update the overload call tests.
## Summary
Part of astral-sh/ty#104, closes: astral-sh/ty#468
This PR implements the argument type expansion which is step 3 of the
overload call evaluation algorithm.
Specifically, this step needs to be taken if type checking resolves to
no matching overload and there are argument types that can be expanded.
## Test Plan
Add new test cases.
## Ecosystem analysis
This PR removes 174 `no-matching-overload` false positives -- I looked
at a lot of them and they all are false positives.
One thing that I'm not able to understand is that in
2b7e3adf27/sphinx/ext/autodoc/preserve_defaults.py (L179)
the inferred type of `value` is `str | None` by ty and Pyright, which is
correct, but it's only ty that raises `invalid-argument-type` error
while Pyright doesn't. The constructor method of `DefaultValue` has
declared type of `str` which is invalid.
There are few cases of false positives resulting due to the fact that ty
doesn't implement narrowing on attribute expressions.
## Summary
Fix some issues with subtying/assignability for instances vs callables.
We need to look up dunders on the class, not the instance, and we should
limit our logic here to delegating to the type of `__call__`, so it
doesn't get out of sync with the calls we allow.
Also, we were just entirely missing assignability handling for
`__call__` implemented as anything other than a normal bound method
(though we had it for subtyping.)
A first step towards considering what else we want to change in

## Summary
Resolves [#290](https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/290).
All arguments, synthesized or not, are now accounted for in
`too-many-positional-arguments`'s error message.
For example, consider this example:
```python
class C:
def foo(self): ...
C().foo(1) # !!!
```
Previously, ty would say:
> Too many positional arguments to bound method foo: expected 0, got 1
After this change, it will say:
> Too many positional arguments to bound method foo: expected 1, got 2
This is what Python itself does too:
```text
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<python-input-0>", line 3, in <module>
C().foo()
~~~~~~~^^
TypeError: C.foo() takes 0 positional arguments but 1 was given
```
## Test Plan
Markdown tests.
This makes one very simple change: we report all call binding
errors from each union variant.
This does result in duplicate-seeming diagnostics. For example,
when two union variants are invalid for the same reason.
## Summary
Fixes: astral-sh/ty#159
This PR adds support for using `Self` in methods.
When the type of an annotation is `TypingSelf` it is converted to a type
var based on:
https://typing.python.org/en/latest/spec/generics.html#self
I just skipped Protocols because it had more problems and the tests was
not useful.
Also I need to create a follow up PR that implicitly assumes `self`
argument has type `Self`.
In order to infer the type in the `in_type_expression` method I needed
to have scope id and semantic index available. I used the idea from
[this PR](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/17589/files) to pass
additional context to this method.
Also I think in all places that `in_type_expression` is called we need
to have this context because `Self` can be there so I didn't split the
method into one version with context and one without.
## Test Plan
Added new tests from spec.
