`dataclasses`: Synthetic `__init__` method on dataclass has broken `ClassVar` annotation under some conditions.

Bug report

Bug description:

When using automatically-stringified annotations (from __future__ import annotations), typing_extensions.ClassVar is not treated the same as typing.ClassVar even though those two objects are identical. Specifically, the dataclasses.dataclass-produced __init__ method does not exclude typing_extensions.ClassVar-wrapped variables from its annotations, but does exclude typing.ClassVar-wrapped variables from its annotations. Among other problems, this causes typing.get_type_hints to choke.

Reproducer below:

from __future__ import annotations

import dataclasses as dcls
import inspect
import typing
import typing_extensions as typx


assert typing.ClassVar is typx.ClassVar


@dcls.dataclass
class Foo:

    y: int
    x: typing.ClassVar[ int ] = 1


print( "\n=== typing.ClassVar (ok) ===" )

print( 'anno', Foo.__init__.__annotations__ )
print( 'inspect', inspect.get_annotations( Foo.__init__, eval_str = True ) )
print( 'typing', typing.get_type_hints( Foo.__init__ ) )
print( 'typx', typx.get_type_hints( Foo.__init__ ) )


@dcls.dataclass
class Bar:

    y: int
    x: typx.ClassVar[ int ] = 1


print( "\n=== typing_extensions.ClassVar (breaks) ===" )

print( 'anno', Bar.__init__.__annotations__ )
print( 'inspect', inspect.get_annotations( Bar.__init__, eval_str = True ) )
print( 'typing', typing.get_type_hints( Bar.__init__ ) )
print( 'typx', typx.get_type_hints( Bar.__init__ ) )

This results in the following output:

=== typing.ClassVar (ok) ===
anno {'y': 'int', 'return': None}
inspect {'y': <class 'int'>, 'return': None}
typing {'y': <class 'int'>, 'return': <class 'NoneType'>}
typx {'y': <class 'int'>, 'return': <class 'NoneType'>}

=== typing_extensions.ClassVar (breaks) ===
anno {'y': 'int', 'x': 'typx.ClassVar[int]', 'return': None}
inspect {'y': <class 'int'>, 'x': typing.ClassVar[int], 'return': None}

This is reproducible on both Python 3.10 and 3.13.

Inizia con il riproduttore e segui come dataclasses.dataclass costruisce init.annotations per le annotazioni ClassVar, confrontando typing.ClassVar con typing_extensions.ClassVar. Conferma il fix verificando che l’annotazione generata escluda il campo ClassVar e che typing.get_type_hints funzioni senza sollevare un’eccezione; l’issue elenca le PR collegate gh-134073 e gh-140541.
