📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR introduces an error_msg attribute feature to the argument derive macro system, allowing custom error messages for argument validation. The derive implementation is enhanced to parse and handle error_msg in attribute declarations, and several builtins are updated to provide more specific error messages for their optional arguments.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Derive Macro Error Message Support
crates/derive-impl/src/from_args.rs		 Adds error_msg field to ArgAttribute struct and implements parsing logic to extract custom error messages from pyarg(error_msg = "...") annotations. Generates code to map conversion errors to type errors with the provided message, with guards against duplicate definitions.
Builtin Function Argument Validation
crates/vm/src/builtins/function.rs		 Annotates optional fields in PyFunctionNewArgs with error_msg attributes specifying type constraints for name, argdefs, closure, and kwdefaults arguments.
Builtin Interpolation Argument Handling
crates/vm/src/builtins/interpolation.rs		 Refines conversion argument from OptionalArg<PyObjectRef> to Option<PyStrRef> with explicit error_msg attribute and simplified string validation logic. Moves validation to early checks instead of runtime pattern matching.
Builtin Super Type Argument
crates/vm/src/builtins/super.rs		 Narrows py_type argument in InitArgs from OptionalArg<PyObjectRef> to OptionalArg<PyTypeRef> and adds error_msg attribute. Removes runtime downcast logic in favor of compile-time argument type constraint.

🐰 A macro whispers soft and clear,
"Show the user what they fear!"
No more vague errors in the night,
Just helpful messages, shining bright. ✨
