fix: handle unhashable types in using_for lookup (#2916)
* fix: handle unhashable types in using_for lookup When the destination type `t` is a list (unhashable), the check `t in using_for` raises TypeError. This can happen with certain contract patterns involving tuple types. Added try/except to gracefully handle unhashable types instead of crashing. Fixes #2140 * style: apply ruff formatting * fix: add helper function and fix second unhashable type location - Add _type_in_using_for() helper to centralize hashability checks - Replace inline try/except in propagate_types() with helper call - Fix unprotected t in using_for check in convert_to_library_or_top_level() - Add debug logging for unhashable type encounters - Add regression tests for unhashable type handling Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * test: expand mutation testing for unhashable type fix Add comprehensive tests that use actual Type objects instead of strings and verify mutation-catching behavior: - Test with ElementaryType objects - Test unhashable list of types (simulating tuple returns) - Test wildcard "*" fallthrough behavior - Test that `return True` mutation would fail - Add edge cases (None, empty dict, type equality) Verified: 7/12 tests fail when `return False` is mutated to `return True` Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: ep0chzer0 <ep0chzer0@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Dan Guido <dan@trailofbits.com> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
