Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided attrs example with pyright and confirm which call-site errors occur for the subclass constructor. Then inspect whether attrs' typing definitions or pyright's handling of redefined kwargs is responsible; done means the responsible project is identified and the example type-checks correctly.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the bug
Using pyright for type checking produces the following errors:
from attrs import define
@define
class A:
foo: int
bar: str = "baz"
@define
class B(A):
zoo: float
bar: str = "zaz"
b = B(1, 2.7)
print(b)
>>> B(foo=1, zoo=2.7, bar='zaz')


Not sure whether the problem is with attrs type definitions or with pyright, so will create issues in both places.
Perhaps types are not defined properly somewhere?
