False positive for Final attributes using typevars in dataclasses #21637

Description

@gschaffner

Update: The false positive happens for non-dataclasses as well; see #21637 (comment).


Bug Report

In a dataclass, annotating an instance attribute with a Final that depends on a type variable gives a false positive Final name declared in class body cannot depend on type variables [misc] error.

I think that this should be allowed for instance attributes (but not class attributes). Per the spec:

A Final dataclass field initialized in the class body is not a class attribute unless explicitly annotated with ClassVar.

Related to #5608 and #21334.

To Reproduce

from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Final
from typing import Generic
from typing import 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  [misc]

@dataclass(frozen=True)
class B(Generic[T]):
    value: T
