Python dev, exasperated by dict[str, Any], builds the most pedantic linter you never asked for

A developer named 'gawain' has built a new Python linting tool with one clear, opinionated mission: to require type hints on absolutely everything—global variables, function parameters, return types, and class attributes. Unlike existing linters like `ruff` or `flake8-annotations` that focus only on functions, or type checkers like `mypy` that infer types where missing, `gawain` flatly refuses to run any type checking until every single variable is explicitly annotated, even for constants like `PORT = 8080` which it demands be `Final[int]`.

The tool is a direct, slightly aggressive reaction to the common `dict[str, Any]` pattern and the general reliance on IDE inference. It essentially forces developers into a hyper-strict typing discipline. For Python shops already using `mypy` or `pyright`, this adds another layer of bureaucratic linting before any real type analysis can begin. The creator's message to potential critics is a dismissive 'don't use it, little padawan,' perfectly capturing the tool's niche, stubborn, and amusingly grumpy appeal.
