## Summary
Implement validation for `TypedDict` constructor calls and dictionary
literal assignments, including support for `total=False` and proper
field management.
Also add support for `Required` and `NotRequired` type qualifiers in
`TypedDict` classes, along with proper inheritance behavior and the
`total=` parameter.
Support both constructor calls and dict literal syntax
part of https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/154
### Basic Required Field Validation
```py
class Person(TypedDict):
name: str
age: int | None
# Error: Missing required field 'name' in TypedDict `Person` constructor
incomplete = Person(age=25)
# Error: Invalid argument to key "name" with declared type `str` on TypedDict `Person`
wrong_type = Person(name=123, age=25)
# Error: Invalid key access on TypedDict `Person`: Unknown key "extra"
extra_field = Person(name="Bob", age=25, extra=True)
```

/>
### Support for `total=False`
```py
class OptionalPerson(TypedDict, total=False):
name: str
age: int | None
# All valid - all fields are optional with total=False
charlie = OptionalPerson()
david = OptionalPerson(name="David")
emily = OptionalPerson(age=30)
frank = OptionalPerson(name="Frank", age=25)
# But type validation and extra fields still apply
invalid_type = OptionalPerson(name=123) # Error: Invalid argument type
invalid_extra = OptionalPerson(extra=True) # Error: Invalid key access
```
### Dictionary Literal Validation
```py
# Type checking works for both constructors and dict literals
person: Person = {"name": "Alice", "age": 30}
reveal_type(person["name"]) # revealed: str
reveal_type(person["age"]) # revealed: int | None
# Error: Invalid key access on TypedDict `Person`: Unknown key "non_existing"
reveal_type(person["non_existing"]) # revealed: Unknown
```
### `Required`, `NotRequired`, `total`
```python
from typing import TypedDict
from typing_extensions import Required, NotRequired
class PartialUser(TypedDict, total=False):
name: Required[str] # Required despite total=False
age: int # Optional due to total=False
email: NotRequired[str] # Explicitly optional (redundant)
class User(TypedDict):
name: Required[str] # Explicitly required (redundant)
age: int # Required due to total=True
bio: NotRequired[str] # Optional despite total=True
# Valid constructions
partial = PartialUser(name="Alice") # name required, age optional
full = User(name="Bob", age=25) # name and age required, bio optional
# Inheritance maintains original field requirements
class Employee(PartialUser):
department: str # Required (new field)
# name: still Required (inherited)
# age: still optional (inherited)
emp = Employee(name="Charlie", department="Engineering") # ✅
Employee(department="Engineering") # ❌
e: Employee = {"age": 1} # ❌
```

/>
## Implementation
The implementation reuses existing validation logic done in
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19782
### ℹ️ Why I did NOT synthesize an `__init__` for `TypedDict`:
`TypedDict` inherits `dict.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)` that accepts
all arguments.
The type resolution system finds this inherited signature **before**
looking for synthesized members.
So `own_synthesized_member()` is never called because a signature
already exists.
To force synthesis, you'd have to override Python’s inheritance
mechanism, which would break compatibility with the existing ecosystem.
This is why I went with ad-hoc validation. IMO it's the only viable
approach that respects Python’s
inheritance semantics while providing the required validation.
### Refacto of `Field`
**Before:**
```rust
struct Field<'db> {
declared_ty: Type<'db>,
default_ty: Option<Type<'db>>, // NamedTuple and dataclass only
init_only: bool, // dataclass only
init: bool, // dataclass only
is_required: Option<bool>, // TypedDict only
}
```
**After:**
```rust
struct Field<'db> {
declared_ty: Type<'db>,
kind: FieldKind<'db>,
}
enum FieldKind<'db> {
NamedTuple { default_ty: Option<Type<'db>> },
Dataclass { default_ty: Option<Type<'db>>, init_only: bool, init: bool },
TypedDict { is_required: bool },
}
```

## Summary
This PR limits the argument type expansion size for an overload call
evaluation to 512.
The limit chosen is arbitrary but I've taken the 256 limit from Pyright
into account and bumped it x2 to start with.
Initially, I actually started out by trying to refactor the entire
argument type expansion to be lazy. Currently, expanding a single
argument at any position eagerly creates the combination (argument
lists) and returns that (`Vec<CallArguments>`) but I thought we could
make it lazier by converting the return type of `expand` from
`Iterator<Item = Vec<CallArguments>>` to `Iterator<Item = Iterator<Item
= CallArguments>>` but that's proving to be difficult to implement
mainly because we **need** to maintain the previous expansion to
generate the next expansion which is the main reason to use
`std::iter::successors` in the first place.
Another approach would be to eagerly expand all the argument types and
then use the `combinations` from `itertools` to generate the
combinations but we would need to find the "boundary" between arguments
lists produced from expanding argument at position 1 and position 2
because that's important for the algorithm.
Closes: https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/868
## Test Plan
Add test case to demonstrate the limit along with the diagnostic
snapshot stating that the limit has been reached.
Part of astral-sh/ty#994
## Summary
Add new special forms to `ty_extensions`, `Top[T]` and `Bottom[T]`.
Remove `ty_extensions.top_materialization` and
`ty_extensions.bottom_materialization`.
## Test Plan
Converted the existing `materialization.md` mdtest to the new syntax.
Added some tests for invalid use of the new special form.
## Summary
Removes the `module_ptr` field from `AstNodeRef` in release mode, and
change `NodeIndex` to a `NonZeroU32` to reduce the size of
`Option<AstNodeRef<_>>` fields.
I believe CI runs in debug mode, so this won't show up in the memory
report, but this reduces memory by ~2% in release mode.
## Summary
Previously we held off from doing this because we weren't sure that it
was worth the added complexity cost. But our code has changed in the
months since we made that initial decision, and I think the structure of
the code is such that it no longer really leads to much added complexity
to add precise inference when unpacking a string literal or a bytes
literal.
The improved inference we gain from this has real benefits to users (see
the mypy_primer report), and this PR doesn't appear to have a
performance impact.
## Test plan
mdtests
## Summary
We use the `System` abstraction in ty to abstract away the host/system
on which ty runs.
This has a few benefits:
* Tests can run in full isolation using a memory system (that uses an
in-memory file system)
* The LSP has a custom implementation where `read_to_string` returns the
content as seen by the editor (e.g. unsaved changes) instead of always
returning the content as it is stored on disk
* We don't require any file system polyfills for wasm in the browser
However, it does require extra care that we don't accidentally use
`std::fs` or `std::env` (etc.) methods in ty's code base (which is very
easy).
This PR sets up Clippy and disallows the most common methods, instead
pointing users towards the corresponding `System` methods.
The setup is a bit awkward because clippy doesn't support inheriting
configurations. That means, a crate can only override the entire
workspace configuration or not at all.
The approach taken in this PR is:
* Configure the disallowed methods at the workspace level
* Allow `disallowed_methods` at the workspace level
* Enable the lint at the crate level using the warn attribute (in code)
The obvious downside is that it won't work if we ever want to disallow
other methods, but we can figure that out once we reach that point.
What about false positives: Just add an `allow` and move on with your
life :) This isn't something that we have to enforce strictly; the goal
is to catch accidental misuse.
## Test Plan
Clippy found a place where we incorrectly used `std::fs::read_to_string`
## Summary
Rename `TypeAliasType::Bare` to `TypeAliasType::ManualPEP695`, and
`BareTypeAliasType` to `ManualPEP695TypeAliasType`.
Why?
Both existing variants of `TypeAliasType` are specific to features added
in PEP 695 (which introduced both the `type` statement and
`types.TypeAliasType`), so it doesn't make sense to name one with the
name `PEP695` and not the other.
A "bare" type alias, in my mind, is a legacy type alias like `IntOrStr =
int | str`, which is "bare" in that there is nothing at all
distinguishing it as a type alias. I will want to use the "bare" name
for this variant, in a future PR.
The renamed variant here describes a type alias created with `IntOrStr =
types.TypeAliasType("IntOrStr", int | str)`, which is not "bare", it's
just "manually" instantiated instead of using the `type` statement
syntax sugar. (This is useful when using the `typing_extensions`
backport of `TypeAliasType` on older Python versions.)
## Test Plan
Pure rename, existing tests pass.
## Summary
This PR fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1071
The core issue is that `CallableType` is a salsa interned but
`Signature` (which `CallableType` stores) ignores the `Definition` in
its `Eq` and `Hash` implementation.
This PR tries to simplest fix by removing the custom `Eq` and `Hash`
implementation. The main downside of this fix is that it can increase
memory usage because `CallableType`s that are equal except for their
`Definition` are now interned separately.
The alternative is to remove `Definition` from `CallableType` and
instead, call `bindings` directly on the callee (call_expression.func).
However, this would require
addressing the TODO
here
39ee71c2a5/crates/ty_python_semantic/src/types.rs (L4582-L4586)
This might probably be worth addressing anyway, but is the more involved
fix. That's why I opted for removing the custom `Eq` implementation.
We already "ignore" the definition during normalization, thank's to
Alex's work in https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19615
## Test Plan
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/248d1cb1-12fd-4441-adab-b7e0866d23eb
"Why would you do this? This looks like you just replaced `bool` with an
overly complex trait"
Yes that's correct!
This should be a no-op refactoring. It replaces all of the logic in our
assignability, subtyping, equivalence, and disjointness methods to work
over an arbitrary `Constraints` trait instead of only working on `bool`.
The methods that `Constraints` provides looks very much like what we get
from `bool`. But soon we will add a new impl of this trait, and some new
methods, that let us express "fuzzy" constraints that aren't always true
or false. (In particular, a constraint will express the upper and lower
bounds of the allowed specializations of a typevar.)
Even once we have that, most of the operations that we perform on
constraint sets will be the usual boolean operations, just on sets.
(`false` becomes empty/never; `true` becomes universe/always; `or`
becomes union; `and` becomes intersection; `not` becomes negation.) So
it's helpful to have this separate PR to refactor how we invoke those
operations without introducing the new functionality yet.
Note that we also have translations of `Option::is_some_and` and
`is_none_or`, and of `Iterator::any` and `all`, and that the `and`,
`or`, `when_any`, and `when_all` methods are meant to short-circuit,
just like the corresponding boolean operations. For constraint sets,
that depends on being able to implement the `is_always` and `is_never`
trait methods.

## Summary
Part of: https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/868
This PR adds a heuristic to avoid argument type expansion if it's going
to eventually lead to no matching overload.
This is done by checking whether the non-expandable argument types are
assignable to the corresponding annotated parameter type. If one of them
is not assignable to all of the remaining overloads, then argument type
expansion isn't going to help.
## Test Plan
Add mdtest that would otherwise take a long time because of the number
of arguments that it would need to expand (30).
This commit corrects the type checker's behavior when handling
`dataclass_transform` decorators that don't explicitly specify
`field_specifiers`. According to [PEP 681 (Data Class
Transforms)](https://peps.python.org/pep-0681/#dataclass-transform-parameters),
when `field_specifiers` is not provided, it defaults to an empty tuple,
meaning no field specifiers are supported and
`dataclasses.field`/`dataclasses.Field` calls should be ignored.
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/980
This basically splits `list_modules` into a higher level "aggregation"
routine and a lower level "get modules for one search path" routine.
This permits Salsa to cache the lower level components, e.g., many
search paths refer to directories that rarely change. This saves us
interaction with the system.
This did require a fair bit of surgery in terms of being careful about
adding file roots. Namely, now that we rely even more on file roots
existing for correct handling of cache invalidation, there were several
spots in our code that needed to be updated to add roots (that we
weren't previously doing). This feels Not Great, and it would be better
if we had some kind of abstraction that handled this for us. But it
isn't clear to me at this time what that looks like.
This ensures there is some level of consistency between the APIs.
This did require exposing a couple more things on `Module` for good
error messages. This also motivated a switch to an interned struct
instead of a tracked struct. This ensures that `list_modules` and
`resolve_modules` reuse the same `Module` values when the inputs are the
same.
Ref https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/19883#discussion_r2272520194
This makes `import <CURSOR>` and `from <CURSOR>` completions work.
This also makes `import os.<CURSOR>` and `from os.<CURSOR>`
completions work. In this case, we are careful to only offer
submodule completions.
The actual implementation wasn't too bad. It's not long
but pretty fiddly. I copied over the tests from the existing
module resolver and adapted them to work with this API. Then
I added a number of my own tests as well.
Previously, if the module was just `foo-stubs`, we'd skip over
stripping the `-stubs` suffix which would lead to us returning
`None`.
This function is now a little convoluted and could be simpler
if we did an intermediate allocation. But I kept the iterative
approach and added a special case to handle `foo-stubs`.
These tests capture existing behavior.
I added these when I stumbled upon what I thought was an
oddity: we prioritize `foo.pyi` over `foo.py`, but
prioritize `foo/__init__.py` over `foo.pyi`.
(I plan to investigate this more closely in follow-up
work. Particularly, to look at other type checkers. It
seems like we may want to change this to always prioritize
stubs.)
This is a port of the logic in https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/pull/7691
The basic idea is we use CONDA_DEFAULT_ENV as a signal for whether
CONDA_PREFIX is just the ambient system conda install, or the user has
explicitly activated a custom one. If the former, then the conda is
treated like a system install (having lowest priority). If the latter,
the conda is treated like an activated venv (having priority over
everything but an Actual activated venv).

Most of them are correct except for the last two diagnostics which I'm
not sure
what's happening, it's trying to index into an `np.ndarray` type (which
is
inferred correctly) but I think it might be picking up an incorrect
overload
for the `__getitem__` method.
Scipy's diagnostics also requires support for type alises to pick the
correct overload.

In implementing partial stubs I had observed that this continue in the
namespace package code seemed erroneous since the same continue for
partial stubs didn't work. Unfortunately I wasn't confident enough to
push on that hunch. Fortunately I remembered that hunch to make this an
easy fix.
The issue with the continue is that it bails out of the current
search-path without testing any .py files. This breaks when for example
`google` and `google-stubs`/`types-google` are both in the same
site-packages dir -- failing to find a module in `types-google` has us
completely skip over `google`!

## Summary
This PR fixes how `KW_ONLY` is applied in dataclasses. Previously, the
sentinel leaked into subclasses and incorrectly marked their fields as
keyword-only; now it only affects fields declared in the same class.
```py
from dataclasses import dataclass, KW_ONLY
@dataclass
class D:
x: int
_: KW_ONLY
y: str
@dataclass
class E(D):
z: bytes
# This should work: x=1 (positional), z=b"foo" (positional), y="foo" (keyword-only)
E(1, b"foo", y="foo")
reveal_type(E.__init__) # revealed: (self: E, x: int, z: bytes, *, y: str) -> None
```
<!-- What's the purpose of the change? What does it do, and why? -->
## Test Plan
<!-- How was it tested? -->
mdtests
Requires some iteration, but this includes the most tedious part --
threading a new concept of DisplaySettings through every type display
impl. Currently it only holds a boolean for multiline, but in the future
it could also take other things like "render to markdown" or "here's
your base indent if you make a newline".
For types which have exposed display functions I've left the old
signature as a compatibility polyfill to avoid having to audit
everywhere that prints types right off the bat (notably I originally
tried doing multiline functions unconditionally and a ton of things
churned that clearly weren't ready for multi-line (diagnostics).
The only real use of this API in this PR is to multiline render function
types in hovers, which is the highest impact (see snapshot changes).
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1000
## Summary
Fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1046
We special-case iteration of certain types because they may have a more
detailed tuple-spec. Now that type aliases are a distinct type variant,
we need to handle them as well.
I don't love that `Type::TypeAlias` means we have to remember to add a
case for it basically anywhere we are special-casing a certain kind of
type, but at the moment I don't have a better plan. It's another
argument for avoiding fallback cases in `Type` matches, which we usually
prefer; I've updated this match statement to be comprehensive.
## Test Plan
Added mdtest.
`Type::TypeVar` now distinguishes whether the typevar in question is
inferable or not.
A typevar is _not inferable_ inside the body of the generic class or
function that binds it:
```py
def f[T](t: T) -> T:
return t
```
The infered type of `t` in the function body is `TypeVar(T,
NotInferable)`. This represents how e.g. assignability checks need to be
valid for all possible specializations of the typevar. Most of the
existing assignability/etc logic only applies to non-inferable typevars.
Outside of the function body, the typevar is _inferable_:
```py
f(4)
```
Here, the parameter type of `f` is `TypeVar(T, Inferable)`. This
represents how e.g. assignability doesn't need to hold for _all_
specializations; instead, we need to find the constraints under which
this specific assignability check holds.
This is in support of starting to perform specialization inference _as
part of_ performing the assignability check at the call site.
In the [[POPL2015][]] paper, this concept is called _monomorphic_ /
_polymorphic_, but I thought _non-inferable_ / _inferable_ would be
clearer for us.
Depends on #19784
