[mypyc] ... inferred type None; add an annotation on fully-annotated code #17216

Bug Report

Possibly related to #7482 and #5423

To Reproduce

Run mypyc on the following snippet:

import typing as t                             # Line 1

def process(o: int | str | None, /) -> object:  # Line 3
    if isinstance(o, int):
        return _process_int(o)
    elif isinstance(o, str):
        return _process_str(o)
    else:
        return o

def _process_str(o: str, /) -> str: return o
def _process_int(o: int, /) -> int: return o

Expected Behavior

Successful compilation

Actual Behavior

$ mypyc test.py
test.py:3: error: Local variable "o" has inferred type None; add an annotation

mypyc doesn't like the annotation int | str | None (if you add something unrelated to the union that doesn't exhaust the if...elif stack, e.g. bytes, the error goes away). What would be an alternative annotation which could be used here that reflects int | str | None, apart from object or typing.Any?
