Description
**Describe the bug**
I can get pyright 1.1.408 to OOM on a small (kind of weird) code snippet.
**Code or Screenshots**
Claude Code helped me bisect and minimize this reproducer.
With `uv` installed:
```
#!/bin/bash
set -e
REPRO_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
cd "$REPRO_DIR"
cat >pyright_oom.py <<'EOF'
def trigger_oom() -> dict:
import numpy as np
result = {"np": np}
result.update({
"str": str, "int": int, "float": float, "bool": bool,
"list": list, "dict": dict, "set": set, "tuple": tuple,
"frozenset": frozenset, "bytes": bytes, "bytearray": bytearray,
"abs": abs, "round": round, "min": min, "max": max,
"sum": sum, "pow": pow, "divmod": divmod, "len": len,
"range": range, "enumerate": enumerate, "zip": zip,
"sorted": sorted, "reversed": reversed, "slice": slice,
"map": map, "filter": filter, "any": any, "all": all, "type": type,
})
return result
EOF
cat >pyrightconfig.json <<'EOF'
{"venvPath": ".", "venv": ".venv", "pythonVersion": "3.12"}
EOF
uv venv .venv
uv pip install numpy --quiet
echo "Running pyright in $REPRO_DIR (will OOM after ~60-90s)..."
time uvx pyright pyright_oom.py
```

Research direction
Start by running the reproducer in pyright_oom.py with the pyrightconfig.json configuration and the listed uv commands. Trace the analysis triggered by the NumPy import and dictionary update, then verify that the same command completes without exhausting memory.
