I didn't comment it on every instance, but the annoying thing with using list and dict as parameter types, is that they're invariant. Meaning unions have to be exact.
A list[str] cannot be passed to a list[str | int] parameter !

So everywhere you have a union like dict[str, Foo | Bar], you need to expand it to accept all possible permutations:
dict[str, Foo] | dict[str, Bar] | dict[str, Foo | Bar] (same with lists)

That's why, even though some methods not explicitly requiring a list or dict may be an implementation detail, I instead recommended some covariant types like Iterable and Mapping where possible.

Looks done 👍
I used Iterable as you suggested, but I wanted to ask what you think about using Sequence, it seems to be a more strict and more suitable for list parameters

Hmm... I'm not hard set on either. Iterable/Container is exact to the actual implementation, but it also looks like an implementation detail that we can get away with non-lists in those cases, so maybe it's "safer" for the users to use a Sequence.

This is also something we can ask about upstream to get some clarification.

My personal preference is to follow the implementation, and update it in a version bump PR if it changes. But I won't block on either.

Using GitHub comments was a bit too complex to list the rest of the invariance issues, so I opened donBarbos#1 against your PR branch.

Big thank to you. In the future I'll try to be more careful with invariant types
