     Several redis-py commands are annotated as returning ``Awaitable[T] | T`` even on the asyncio

-    annotations to the awaitable alone, which makes a bare ``# type: ignore`` *required* on the

+
+    This takes one signature rather than overloads on purpose. An overload pair of
+    ``Awaitable[_T]`` and ``_T`` makes a checker bind ``_T`` to the whole union for an
+    ``Awaitable[T] | T`` argument: the ``Awaitable[_T]`` arm matches, and nothing consumes the

+    rejected even though the runtime value is an ``int``. Listing the union arm first does not help
+    -- it then shadows the bare-awaitable arm. The single union parameter resolves to the awaited
+    type, which is what every call site here wants.
+
+    The one shape it does not cover is a parameter annotated as a bare ``Awaitable[T]`` with no
+    ``| T``. redis-py does not use that on the asyncio client as of 8.1, so no call site needs it;
