Fix a bug where inline configurations of error codes would lose their values if accompanied by another inline configuration. (#19075)

wyattscarpenter · sterliakov · web-flow · commit 813b4d11152e · 2025-08-02T15:01:46.000-07:00
The following code produces a name-defined code error, despite our instructions. How can it be?! ```py3 # mypy: disable-error-code=name-defined # mypy: strict-equality a ``` The answer is, there was a bug that caused all inline configurations, even those that didn't specify any enable/disables, to overwrite the lists of enable/disables. I have now fixed that. I've also added some tests. Closes #12342 — I discovered this problem while investigating the last foible of issue #12342 (itself of tangential interest to something else I was doing), which can now be closed. --------- Co-authored-by: Stanislav Terliakov <50529348+sterliakov@users.noreply.github.com>
