fix(pydantic): accept union type objects for stream_type hints

[majiayu000]

Summary

• treat union type objects as valid stream_type values for pydantic streaming actions
• keep runtime behavior unchanged while relaxing type hints for union-type streams

Testing

• not run (type-hint only change)

doing Any for typing checking will of course work and is cheating...

I think we shouldn't have a typing.TYPE_CHECKING part here, and instead I think the fix is line 74 + 75.

note I had to do this stream_type: Union[Type["BaseModel"], Type[dict], type, "types.UnionType"], for my pyright in the IDE to not complain -- i.e. the quotes part.

Thanks for the review! I've updated the code according to your suggestion:

• Removed the TYPE_CHECKING + Any approach
• Added "types.UnionType" (with quotes) to the Union type hints

The type definitions are now:

# burr/integrations/pydantic.py
PartialType = Union[Type[pydantic.BaseModel], Type[dict], type, "types.UnionType"]

# burr/core/action.py  
stream_type: Union[Type["BaseModel"], Type[dict], type, "types.UnionType"]

This should satisfy pyright while properly accepting union type objects like str | int for the stream_type parameter.

Thanks for tackling this! The union type support for stream_type is a needed fix for issue #607, and the runtime behavior is correct.

The TYPE_CHECKING = Any approach disables type checking entirely — it accepts stream_type="hello" without complaint. I'd recommend replacing both TYPE_CHECKING blocks with a sys.version_info >= (3, 10) guard, which pyright understands natively:

if sys.version_info >= (3, 10):
    StreamingPydanticType = Union[Type[BaseModel], Type[dict], types.UnionType]
else:
    StreamingPydanticType = Union[Type[BaseModel], Type[dict]]

This correctly narrows the type on 3.10+ while falling back gracefully on 3.9. I validated this with pyright against all the expected cases (union types, single types, dict, and invalid inputs).

[skrawcz]

The TYPE_CHECKING = Any pattern effectively disables the type checker for stream_type. Replace with:

if sys.version_info >= (3, 10):
    StreamingPydanticType = Union[Type["BaseModel"], Type[dict], types.UnionType]
else:
    StreamingPydanticType = Union[Type["BaseModel"], Type[dict]]

sys is already imported in this file. Pyright natively narrows on sys.version_info checks.

[skrawcz]

Same issue — replace the TYPE_CHECKING = Any pattern with the sys.version_info guard for PartialType.

Nit: the Any import can be removed if switching to the sys.version_info approach.
