False positive [missing-attribute] when inheriting slotted dataclass #4616

Description

Describe the Bug

I think the following should type check, it works at runtime and no other type checker complains.

from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass(slots=True)
class Foo:
    x: int
    y: int
        
class Bar(Foo):
    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int) -> None:
        super().__init__(x, y)
        self.z = x + y  # ERROR

assert "__slots__" not in Bar.__dict__  # OK
assert Bar(1, 2).__dict__ == {"z": 3}  # OK
ERROR sandbox.py:11:14-15: Object of class `Bar` has no attribute `z` (not declared in `__slots__`) [missing-attribute]

For non-dataclasses, pyrefly reports no error just like all other type checkers: [sandbox]

class Foo:
    __slots__ = "x", "y"

    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int) -> None:
        self.x = x
        self.y = y
        
class Bar(Foo):
    def __init__(self, x: int, y: int) -> None:
        super().__init__(x, y)
        self.z = x + y  # OK
