Give heap types a dict namespace - #8606
Merged

Conversation
Replace `PyType::attributes` (`PyRwLock<PyAttributes>`) with a `TypeNamespace` enum. A type created while an interpreter is running holds a `PyDict`; the types `Context::genesis` and `PyType::new_static` build keep the interned-key `IndexMap`, since hashing a string needs a VM. `type.__new__` binds `__classdictcell__` to the type's own namespace rather than the namespace dict passed to it, so an annotation scope reads attribute changes made after the class body ran. Removes the `expectedFailure` on `test_type_params.TypeParamsClassScopeTest.test_modified_later`. `PyGetSet` holds its class as a `PyRef<PyType>` instead of a non-owning `PointerSlot`, and traverses it, because a namespace can outlive the type it belongs to. `PointerSlot` and the `unsafe` on `Context::new_getset` are gone. `subs_parameters` raises `TypeError` when `__typing_subst__` returns a non-tuple in an unpack position, using the new `PyType::fully_qualified_name` for the message. Removes the `expectedFailure` on `test_typing.GenericTests.test_return_non_tuple_while_unpacking`. Assisted-by: Claude

A new callback ownership path can retain Python references without tracing them, risking unreachable cycles and memory leaks, while namespace updates can silently report success after a failed mutation.

Trace captured references in getset callbacks. IntoPyGetterFunc and IntoPySetterFunc accept 'static Fn closures, and PyObjectRef and PyRef satisfy the required bounds. PyGetSet::traverse visits only class, so a callback that captures a Python reference can retain an unreachable cycle. Store captured references in traced fields or restrict these APIs to non-capturing function pointers. Add a cycle-collection regression test.

Do not silently discard TypeNamespace dictionary mutations.
set drops the binding when no current VM exists or set_item fails. remove returns Some(previous) when deletion does not run or fails. Callers can then report success while the dictionary remains unchanged. Propagate the mutation failure, or return None from remove when deletion does not complete.

PyType::attributes(PyRwLock<PyAttributes>) with aTypeNamespaceenum. A type created while an interpreter is running holds a realPyDict; the typesContext::genesisandPyType::new_staticbuild keep the interned-keyIndexMap, since hashing a string needs a VM and none exists that early.That makes
tp_dicta real dict for heap types, which fixes two PEP 695 / typing gaps:type.__new__now binds__classdictcell__to the type's own namespace instead of the transient namespace dict passed to it, so an annotation scope sees attribute changes made after the class body ran. Writing through the cell's dict (d['T'] = float) changesX.T, matching CPython.subs_parametersraisesTypeErrorwhen__typing_subst__returns a non-tuple in an unpack position, using a newPyType::fully_qualified_name(the%Tformat code) for the message.Both
