[None][fix] Suppress mypy redundant-cast for the sampler module

[brnguyen2]

Summary

strict = true under [tool.mypy] enables warn_redundant_casts, which flags several cast(...) calls in tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler_strategy.py (introduced by #16620) as [redundant-cast]. This fails the CI build's type-check step (scripts/run_mypy.sh, run with compiled bindings).

Whether a given cast is "redundant" is binding-dependent: the full build check (compiled bindings + stubs) flags 2, while the bindings-less local/pre-commit check flags ~20. Removing the casts is therefore a fragile workaround that also discards the author's defensive-typing intent.

Change

Suppress the redundant-cast error code for the sampler module via the existing per-module [[tool.mypy.overrides]] block, with a TODO(TRTLLM-15310) to audit the casts and tighten the annotations later. The casts and all other strict checks for the module are preserved. Only pyproject.toml is changed; sampler_strategy.py is untouched.

Notes

Draft; CI not yet triggered here — the same fix is being validated on a stacked branch. Trigger /bot run when ready to merge.

Dev Engineer Review

• pyproject.toml adds redundant-cast to the existing mypy override for tensorrt_llm._torch.pyexecutor.sampler and its submodules.
• The override preserves all other strict mypy checks.
• The suppression addresses binding-dependent CI warnings without changing sampler_strategy.py.
• The TODO(TRTLLM-15310) records the planned cast and annotation audit.
• No API, performance, or runtime behavior changes are introduced.

QA Engineer Review

• No test changes.

The sampler-specific mypy override now suppresses redundant-cast errors and documents the affected casts.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔵 Low · up to afdfa

The PR only changes mypy configuration, so it should not affect runtime behavior. It is mergeable with owner awareness that the suppression may hide future typing diagnostics outside the currently affected module, and the required copyright header still needs to be added.

Limit the suppression scope or verify the package-wide exception.

This override disables redundant-cast for every sampler submodule. The supplied context identifies affected casts in sampler_strategy.py. If other sampler files do not require this workaround, target tensorrt_llm._torch.pyexecutor.sampler.sampler_strategy specifically. Otherwise, verify and document the package-wide scope.

Based on the supplied PR objective and sampler snippet, the documented affected casts are in sampler_strategy.py.
