Description
Bug Report
this is the sameish as #12962 however now that PEP 696 exists I expect this to work
To Reproduce
from typing import Literal
from dataclasses import dataclass
@dataclass
class D[TBool: (Literal[True], Literal[False]) = Literal[True]]:
val: TBool = True
reveal_type(D())
reveal_type(D(True))
reveal_type(D(False))
Expected Behavior
I expect no errors however
Actual Behavior
t3.py:6: error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "Literal[True]", variable has type "TBool") [assignment]
t3.py:9: note: Revealed type is "t3.D[Literal[True]]"
t3.py:10: note: Revealed type is "t3.D[Literal[True]]"
t3.py:11: note: Revealed type is "t3.D[Literal[False]]"
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
(the reveal types are all correct -- mostly just to demonstrate that the idea works)

Research direction
Start by running the supplied reproduction with mypy 1.15.0 on Python 3.13.0 and compare the assignment error with the three reveal_type results. Trace the dataclass generic and type-variable-default handling implicated by the example; done means the assignment is accepted while all three revealed types remain as shown.
