Conversation
The codegen for discriminated union TypedDict encoders generates a ternary chain where mypy can't narrow the union type through key-based conditions. Instead of suppressing with `# type: ignore[arg-type]`, use `cast()` to explicitly narrow the type to the correct variant after the discriminator check. This preserves type safety in the generated code. Affects both the single-variant and multi-variant discriminator code paths.

Why === Follow-up to #175. The discriminator field in a discriminated union may be `NotRequired` in the TypedDict. Direct key access (`x["shapeType"]`) triggers pyright's `reportTypedDictNotRequiredAccess` error. This broke the pid2 codegen CI when the scribe schema added discriminated union variants where the discriminator field is optional. What changed ============ Use `x.get("key")` instead of `x["key"]` for discriminator checks in the generated ternary chain. This is safe because a missing key returns `None`, which won't match any discriminator value and falls through to the next branch. Test plan ========= - All 64 tests pass - Updated snapshot for `test_unknown_enum` - Tested end-to-end against the pid2 schema from ai-infra — codegen, mypy, and pyright all pass ~ written by Zerg 👾

Why
The codegen for discriminated union TypedDict encoders produces ternary chains like:
mypy can't narrow union types through these ternary conditions, so it flags every encoder call as receiving the wrong type (
arg-type).This broke the pid2 codegen CI when new discriminated union variants were added to a schema.
What changed
