This is a first stab at solving
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/500, at least in part, with the
old solver. We add a new `TypeRelation` that lets us opt into using
constraint sets to describe when a typevar is assignability to some
type, and then use that to calculate a constraint set that describes
when two callable types are assignable. If the callable types contain
typevars, that constraint set will describe their valid specializations.
We can then walk through all of the ways the constraint set can be
satisfied, and record a type mapping in the old solver for each one.

## Summary
Allow method decorators returning Callables to presumptively propagate
"classmethod-ness" in the same way that they already presumptively
propagate "function-like-ness". We can't actually be sure that this is
the case, based on the decorator's annotations, but (along with other
type checkers) we heuristically assume it to be the case for decorators
applied via decorator syntax.
## Test Plan
Added mdtest.
## Summary
Infer `Literal[True]` for `isinstance(x, C)` calls when `x: T` and `T`
has a bound `B` that satisfies the `isinstance` check against `C`.
Similar for constrained typevars.

## Test Plan
* New Markdown tests
* Verified the the example in the linked ticket checks without errors
In https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/21957, we tried to use
`union_or_intersection_elements_ordering` to provide a stable ordering
of the union and intersection elements that are created when determining
which type a typevar should specialize to. @AlexWaygood [pointed
out](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/21551#discussion_r2616543762)
that this won't work, since that provides a consistent ordering within a
single process run, but does not provide a stable ordering across runs.
This is an attempt to produce a proper stable ordering for constraint
sets, so that we end up with consistent diagnostic and test output.
We do this by maintaining a new `source_order` field on each interior
BDD node, which records when that node's constraint was added to the
set. Several of the BDD operators (`and`, `or`, etc) now have
`_with_offset` variants, which update each `source_order` in the rhs to
be larger than any of the `source_order`s in the lhs. This is what
causes that field to be in line with (a) when you add each constraint to
the set, and (b) the order of the parameters you provide to `and`, `or`,
etc. Then we sort by that new field before constructing the
union/intersection types when creating a specialization.
When we calculate which typevars are inferable in a generic context, the
result might include more than the typevars bound by the generic
context. The canonical example is a generic method of a generic class:
```py
class C[A]:
def method[T](self, t: T): ...
```
Here, the inferable typevar set of `method` contains `Self` and `T`, as
you'd expect. (Those are the typevars bound by the method.) But it also
contains `A@C`, since the implicit `Self` typevar is defined as `Self:
C[A]`. That means when we call `method`, we need to mark `A@C` as
inferable, so that we can determine the correct mapping for `A@C` at the
call site.

## Summary
- Treat `if TYPE_CHECKING` blocks the same as stub files (the feature
requested in https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1216)
- We currently only allow `@abstractmethod`-decorated methods to omit
the implementation if they're methods in classes that have _exactly_
`ABCMeta` as their metaclass. That seems wrong -- `@abstractmethod` has
the same semantics if a class has a subclass of `ABCMeta` as its
metaclass. This PR fixes that too. (I'm actually not _totally_ sure we
should care what the class's metaclass is at all -- see discussion in
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1877#issue-3725937441... but the
change this PR is making seems less wrong than what we have currently,
anyway.)

## Test Plan
Mdtests and snapshots
We now allow the lower and upper bounds of a constraint to be gradual.
Before, we would take the top/bottom materializations of the bounds.
This required us to pass in whether the constraint was intended for a
subtyping check or an assignability check, since that would control
whether we took the "restrictive" or "permissive" materializations,
respectively.
Unfortunately, doing so means that we lost information about whether the
original query involves a non-fully-static type. This would cause us to
create specializations like `T = object` for the constraint `T ≤ Any`,
when it would be nicer to carry through the gradual type and produce `T
= Any`.
We're not currently using constraint sets for subtyping checks, nor are
we going to in the very near future. So for now, we're going to assume
that constraint sets are always used for assignability checks, and allow
the lower/upper bounds to not be fully static. Once we get to the point
where we need to use constraint sets for subtyping checks, we will
consider how best to record this information in constraints.
## Summary
This PR makes explicit specialization of a type variable itself an
error, and the result of the specialization is `Unknown`.
The change also fixes https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1794.

## Summary
Working on py-fuzzer recently (AKA, a Python project!) reminded me how
cool our "inlay hint goto-definition feature" is. So this PR adds a
bunch more of that!
I also made a couple of other minor changes to type display. For
example, in the playground, this snippet:
```py
def f(): ...
reveal_type(f.__get__)
```
currently leads to this diagnostic:
```
Revealed type: `<method-wrapper `__get__` of `f`>` (revealed-type) [Ln 2, Col 13]
```
But the fact that we have backticks both around the type display and
inside the type display isn't _great_ there. This PR changes it to
```
Revealed type: `<method-wrapper '__get__' of function 'f'>` (revealed-type) [Ln 2, Col 13]
```
which avoids the nested-backticks issue in diagnostics, and is more
similar to our display for various other `Type` variants such as
class-literal types (`<class 'Foo'>`, etc., not ``<class `Foo`>``).

## Summary
Don't union the previous type in fixpoint iteration if the previous type
contains a `Divergent` from the current cycle and the latest type does
not. The theory here, as outlined by @mtshiba at
https://github.com/astral-sh/ty/issues/1732#issuecomment-3609937420, is
that oscillation can't occur by removing and then reintroducing a
`Divergent` type repeatedly, since `Divergent` types are only introduced
at the start of fixpoint iteration.
## Test Plan
Removes a `Divergent` type from the added mdtest, doesn't otherwise
regress any tests.
## Summary
This PR includes the following changes:
* When attempting to specialize a non-generic type (or a type that is
already specialized), the result is `Unknown`. Also, the error message
is improved.
* When an implicit type alias is incorrectly specialized, the result is
`Unknown`. Also, the error message is improved.
* When only some of the type alias bounds and constraints are not
satisfied, not all substitutions are `Unknown`.
* Double specialization is prohibited. e.g. `G[int][int]`
Furthermore, after applying this PR, the fuzzing tests for seeds 1052
and 4419, which panic in main, now pass.
This is because the false recursions on type variables have been
removed.
```python
# name_2[0] => Unknown
class name_1[name_2: name_2[0]]:
def name_4(name_3: name_2, /):
if name_3:
pass
# (name_5 if unique_name_0 else name_1)[0] => Unknown
def name_4[name_5: (name_5 if unique_name_0 else name_1)[0], **name_1](): ...
```
## Test Plan
New corpus test
mdtest files updated
As described in astral-sh/ty#1729, we previously had a salsa cycle when
inferring the signature of many function definitions.
The most obvious case happened when (a) the function was decorated, (b)
it had no PEP-695 type params, and (c) annotations were not always
deferred (e.g. in a stub file). We currently evaluate and apply function
decorators eagerly, as part of `infer_function_definition`. Applying a
decorator requires knowing the signature of the function being
decorated. There were two places where signature construction called
`infer_definition_types` cyclically.
The simpler case was that we were looking up the generic context and
decorator list of the function to determine whether it has an implicit
`self` parameter. Before, we used `infer_definition_types` to determine
that information. But since we're in the middle of signature
construction for the function, we can just thread the information
through directly.
The harder case is that signature construction requires knowing the
inferred parameter and return type annotations. When (b) and (c) hold,
those type annotations are inferred in `infer_function_definition`! (In
theory, we've already finished that by the time we start applying
decorators, but signature construction doesn't know that.)
If annotations are deferred, the params/return annotations are inferred
in `infer_deferred_types`; if there are PEP-695 type params, they're
inferred in `infer_function_type_params`. Both of those are different
salsa queries, and don't induce this cycle.
So the quick fix here is to always defer inference of the function
params/return, so that they are always inferred under a different salsa
query.
A more principled fix would be to apply decorators lazily, just like we
construct signatures lazily. But that is a more invasive fix.

## Summary
At each fixpoint iteration, we union the "previous" and "current"
iteration types, to ensure that the type can only widen at each
iteration. This prevents oscillation and ensures convergence.
But some unions triggered by this behavior (in particular, unions of
differently-specialized generic-aliases of the same class) never
simplify, and cause spurious errors. Since we haven't seen examples of
oscillating types involving class-literal or generic-alias types, just
don't union those.
There may be more thorough/principled ways to avoid undesirable unions
in fixpoint iteration, but this narrow change seems like it results in
strict improvement.
## Test Plan
Removes two false positive `unsupported-class-base` in mdtests, and
several in the ecosystem, without causing other regression.
I recently started noticing this showing up in the logs for every scope
based completion request:
```
2025-12-11 11:25:35.704329935 DEBUG request{id=29 method="textDocument/completion"}:map_stub_definition: Module `builtins` not found while looking in parent dirs
```
And in particular, it was repeated several times. This was confusing to
me because, well, of course `builtins` should resolve.
This particular code path comes from looking for the docstrings
of completion items. This involves a spelunking that ultimately
tries to resolve a "real" module if the stub doesn't have available
docstrings. But I guess there is no "real" `builtins` module, so
`resolve_real_module` fails. Which is fine, but the noisy logs were
annoying since this is an expected case.
So here, we carve out a short circuit for `builtins` and also improve
the log message.
These routines don't return *all* symbols/members, but rather,
only *for* a particular scope. We do specifically want to add
some routines that return *all* symbols/members, and this naming
scheme made that confusing. It was also inconsistent with other
routines like `all_end_of_scope_symbol_declarations` which *do*
return *all* symbols.
This PR improves the overload call resolution tracing messages as:
- Use `trace` level instead of `debug` level
- Add a `trace_span` which contains the call arguments and signature
- Remove the signature from individual tracing messages
## Summary
We currently perform a subtyping check, similar to what we were doing
for `@final` instances before
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/pull/21167, which is incorrect, e.g.
we currently consider `type[X[Any]]` and `type[X[T]]]` disjoint (where
`X` is `@final`).
