Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Removed unsupported or incomplete operator implementations from multiple built-in types, including arrays, lists, tuples, dictionaries, sets, strings, bytes, bytearrays, deques, and union types. Affected operations: addition concatenation, multiplication, in-place operations, and bitwise OR. Updated internal operator slot handling to ensure consistent behavior across type hierarchies.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR systematically removes Python method exposure (via #[pymethod] attributes) from multiple operator methods including __add__, __iadd__, __mul__, __imul__, __rmul__, and OR-family operators across builtin and stdlib types, while preserving their Rust implementations. It also refactors sequence repeat slot handling and strengthens MRO-based compatibility checking in slot lookup.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary
Sequence types (array, list, tuple) `crates/stdlib/src/array.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/list.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/tuple.rs`	Removed `#[pymethod]` attributes from `__add__`, `__iadd__`, `__mul__`, `__imul__`, and `__rmul__` exposure, hiding these operator methods from Python API.
String and binary types `crates/vm/src/builtins/str.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/bytes.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/bytearray.rs`	Removed `#[pymethod]` from `__add__`, `__rmul__`, `__rmod__` bindings; renamed/reorganized `__mod__` exposure; updated internal calls to use `__mod__` instead of legacy method names.
Type and union operators `crates/vm/src/builtins/type.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/union.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/genericalias.rs`	Removed `#[pymethod]` attributes from `__or__` and `__ror__` (including reverse-OR bindings), eliminating Python-level OR operator exposure.
Mapping and view operators `crates/vm/src/builtins/dict.rs`, `crates/vm/src/builtins/mappingproxy.rs`	Removed `#[pymethod]` from `__or__`, `__ior__`, `__ror__` and set-operation methods (`__rxor__`, `__rand__`, `__rsub__`), reducing operator availability on dict/view types.
Collections and ctypes `crates/vm/src/stdlib/collections.rs`, `crates/vm/src/stdlib/ctypes/pointer.rs`, `crates/vm/src/stdlib/ctypes/simple.rs`, `crates/vm/src/stdlib/ctypes/structure.rs`	Removed `#[pymethod]` attributes from `__mul__`, `__imul__`, `__rmul__`, `__iadd__` in PyDeque and ctypes multiplication methods, hiding repeat/multiplication operators.
Descriptor and slot infrastructure `crates/vm/src/builtins/descriptor.rs`	Added `ArgSize` to public imports; updated `SeqRepeat` handling to use `ArgSize` with `into()` conversion; introduced type-compatibility runtime check in `PyMethodWrapper.call` to verify bound object type.
Slot wiring refactoring `crates/vm/src/types/slot.rs`	Added private `sequence_repeat_wrapper` and `sequence_inplace_repeat_wrapper` functions; refactored `SqRepeat`/`SqInplaceRepeat` slot handling; modified `lookup_slot_in_mro` signature to accept MRO slice parameter for compatibility verification; introduced `is_subclass_of` helper and cached `mro` variable for MRO-based extraction; tightened wrapper compatibility checks during MRO lookup with per-class compatibility validation.

Poem

🐰 ✨ Methods now hide from Python's eager sight,
Yet Rust keeps them ready, tucked out of light.
Slots rewire through MRO's careful chain,
Operators vanish—infrastructure's refrain!
Cleanup and care, with a rabbit's delight.

Title check	❓ Inconclusive	The title 'slot for numeric ops' is vague and doesn't clearly convey the main purpose of the changes. While the PR does modify numeric operations, the term 'slot' is a technical implementation detail rather than a description of what the change achieves.	Consider a more descriptive title that explains the primary intent, such as 'Remove operator method exposure from Python API' or 'Refactor numeric operation slots for internal use'.

🔇 Additional comments (7)

crates/vm/src/builtins/bytearray.rs (1)

534-537: Remainder (mod) wiring for PyByteArray looks correct

__mod__ simply wraps inner().cformat and AsNumber::remainder now delegates to it via to_pyresult(vm), matching the pattern used for bytes/str and keeping formatting logic centralized. No issues from a correctness or API-consistency standpoint.

Also applies to: 812-819

crates/vm/src/builtins/bytes.rs (1)

518-521: Bytes mod implementation and numeric remainder slot are consistent

The new __mod__ wrapper around inner.cformat plus AsNumber::remainder delegating to it mirrors the bytearray/str setup and keeps %-formatting behavior in one place. The conversion through into() and to_pyresult(vm) is type-safe and idiomatic here.

Also applies to: 669-675

crates/vm/src/builtins/str.rs (1)

947-949: String % formatting routed through mod and AsNumber cleanly

Renaming the helper to __mod__ and having AsNumber::remainder call it centralizes %-formatting via cformat_string while keeping the return as Wtf8Buf converted through to_pyresult(vm). This aligns string behavior with bytes/bytearray and looks semantically correct.

Also applies to: 1556-1562

crates/vm/src/builtins/descriptor.rs (2)

8-8: SeqRepeat now uses ArgSize for count – consistent with size/index semantics

Switching SlotFunc::SeqRepeat to bind (ArgSize,) and pass n.into() to the SeqRepeatFunc aligns sequence repeat with other ArgSize-based sites (e.g., str/bytearray __mul__), improving bounds/overflow handling without changing call sites of the slot itself.

Also applies to: 595-598

776-785: Type-compatibility check in PyMethodWrapper.call matches CPython’s descriptor rules

The added fast_isinstance guard before invoking the wrapped slot prevents calling a method-wrapper on an incompatible instance and produces a clear TypeError, mirroring CPython’s behavior for wrappers bound to the wrong class. This is a good safety improvement with no downside.

crates/vm/src/types/slot.rs (2)

441-449: Sequence repeat slots correctly delegate to __mul__ / __imul__ wrappers

sequence_repeat_wrapper and sequence_inplace_repeat_wrapper now forward to __mul__ / __imul__ via call_special_method, and SqRepeat / SqInplaceRepeat are wired through them with update_sub_slot. This keeps the C-API-style sequence slots in sync with Python-level dunder methods and respects existing type-specific SeqRepeat functions when present.

Also applies to: 1307-1316

1365-1368: MRO-based slot lookup now honors wrapper.typ compatibility

The new is_subclass_of + try_extract logic ensures a wrapper_descriptor’s slot is only reused when the target class’s MRO actually contains wrapper.typ, and it stops once a real method (non-wrapper) is found. Using appropriate MRO slices (&mro, &mro[i+1..]) keeps the subclass relationship checks accurate across the hierarchy. This tightens correctness around slot reuse without affecting existing valid cases.

Also applies to: 1371-1374, 1388-1402
