 If you're trying to create a new function that relies on untyped stuff, instead of adding more Any's and pushing `reportAny` / `reportExplicitAny` closer to their basedpyright ceilings, just validate it in the caller with Pydantic (a model or `TypeAdapter` that returns the typed thing or raises will do) and then pass the now typed variable in
 
-If you get an LIT001 or LIT002 fail, refactor the code to follow functional programming best practices rather than introducing mutable data structures. For example, build values in one shot with comprehensions or generators wrapped in `tuple()` / `MappingProxyType()` / `frozenset()` instead of seeding an empty `list`/`dict`/`set` and mutating it over time. Ideally, `# mutable-ok` is never used; reach for it only as a genuine last resort when an immutable rewrite is truly impossible, and always pair it with a real reason

 Every lint or type suppression must name the exact rule inside brackets and carry a reason comment, e.g. `# pyright: ignore[reportArgumentType]  # stubs lack async overload` or `# noqa: TID251  # <reason>`. `# type: ignore` is banned (LIT009): pyrightconfig.json sets `enableTypeIgnoreComments` to false, so it silently does nothing
