Research direction

Start in the MyPy section of pyproject.toml and review the existing strict flag alongside the requested checks: disallow_untyped_calls, disallow-incomplete-defs, and disallow-untyped-decorators. Check whether the flags overlap or affect the project’s current typing setup. Done means the agreed consistency checks are configured without confusing or conflicting settings.

Description

Dragon Sub-Task 🦎

✨ Feature Request

Motivation

As part of #5924.

Within the MyPy section of pyproject.toml, introduce MyPy checks for typing consistency, i.e. disallow_untyped_calls, disallow-incomplete-defs and disallow-untyped-decorators. Consider if any other MyPy checks are worth adding.

  • Also consider what to do with the existing strict flag, as it may or may not clash with the specific flags below. At the very least it may confuse future developers?
