Checking elements of a `list[str | None]` after discarding the possibility of `None`

Bug Report

str_none: list[str | None]
only_str: list[str]
for i in range(len(sequence)):
    if sequence[i] is not None:
        only_str.append(sequence[i]) # Here mypy raises an error due to "incompatible types"

The code above raises the following error Argument 1 to "append" of "list" has incompatible type "str | None"; expected "str".

I've found the following verbose workaround but to my taste its :

str_none: list[str | None]
only_str: list[str]
for i in range(len(sequence)):
    element = sequence[i]
    if element is not None:
        only_str.append(element)

To Reproduce

See code example above.

Expected Behavior

I'm expecting mypy to be able to predict future annotations of sequences with multiple types possible after discarding a specific type in a condition.

Actual Behavior

All is included above.

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 1.5.1
• Mypy command-line flags: both --strict and none
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files):
• Python version used: 3.11.5

Commencez par exécuter le reproducteur minimal de l’issue avec mypy 1.5.1, puis suivez le comportement de la réduction de type pour l’accès indexé aux séquences. Le travail sera terminé lorsque l’exemple acceptera l’élément dont le type a été réduit sans le contournement verbeux utilisant une variable locale, avec un test de régression couvrant le cas signalé.
