Description
Per PEP 681, data class transforms are defined in terms of dataclasses, but it doesn't mean they make dataclasses.
In particular, transformed classes don't necessarily have __dataclass_fields__ or have is_dataclass return True, but per mypy - they do.

Research direction
Start by reading PEP 681 and the existing handling of data class transforms in mypy, then compare mypy's behavior with runtime dataclasses for dataclass_fields and is_dataclass. Done means the type checker consistently reflects the intended PEP 681 semantics, with regression coverage for transformed classes.
