Description
Feature
My goal is to check all the ignored inline mypy errors/warnings
Pitch
People often added inline comment # type: ignore to ignore mypy error for a specific line, but it's difficult to trace for other developers, or for audit purpose. Now I would like to have something similar to flake8 --disable-noqa, which show all the mypy errors/warnings regardless of these inline ignores.
Contributor guide
First steps

- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by tracing how mypy processes inline # type: ignore comments and disabled error codes. Define the command-line behavior that reports errors despite those ignores, then add tests showing ignored errors are surfaced while normal checking remains unchanged.
