Summary

Fixes #21637.

Final[T] fields in a @dataclass body are instance attributes, not class attributes (PEP 591 / dataclass spec: "A Final dataclass field initialized in the class body is not a class attribute unless explicitly annotated with ClassVar."). The checker was unconditionally raising Final name declared in class body cannot depend on type variables for any Final[T] in a generic class body.

Before:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Final, Generic, TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T")

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class A(Generic[T]):
    value: Final[T]  # error: Final name declared in class body cannot depend on type variables

After: no error (same behaviour as value: T without Final).

Change

In mypy/checker.py, the condition that raises DEPENDENT_FINAL_IN_CLASS_BODY now skips the error when:

1. the active class has dataclass_tag in its metadata (i.e. it is a dataclass or dataclass-transform class), and
2. the lvalue is a Var that is not marked is_classvar.

Plain (non-dataclass) classes and explicit ClassVar fields are unaffected.

Tests

Two new test cases in test-data/unit/check-final.test:

• testFinalDefiningTypevarsDataclassInstanceField — Final[T] instance field in a frozen generic dataclass must not produce an error.
• testFinalDefiningTypevarsNonDataclassStillErrors — Final[T] in a plain generic class must still produce the error.

All 83 existing check-final tests pass with no regressions.
