There was a problem hiding this comment.
(int, str, /) -> Unknown is defensible here, but ultimately Callable[[int, str]] is invalid as an annotation, and I would prefer us to have a consistent fallback inference for all invalid Callable annotations.

Summary
This PR reworks
TypeInferenceBuilder::infer_type_expression()so that we emit diagnostics when encountering a list literal in a type expression. The only place where a list literal is allowed in a type expression is if it appears as the first argument toCallable[], andCallableis already heavily special-cased in our type-expression parsing.In order to ensure that list literals are always allowed as the first argument to
Callabler(but never allowed as the second, third, etc. argument), I had to do some refactoring of our type-expression parsing forCallableannotations.Test Plan
New mdtests added, and existing ones updated
