#738 breaks a handful of our tests

[cpovirk]

  found   : @NonNull Foo<capture#02 extends @NonNull Foo<capture#02>>
  required: @Nullable Foo<? extends @NonNull Object>

It looks to me like the found type meets the requirements of the required type, so I'm not sure exactly where the problem lies.

I'll try to minimize that in the next couple days so that I can send you an actual repro.

Interestingly, that error arises only(?) in locations that previously had this error, which we had suppressed:

error: [type.invalid.conflicting.annos] invalid type: conflicting annotations [@NonNull, @Nullable] in type "@NonNull @Nullable Foo<capture#02 extends @NonNull @Nullable Foo<capture#02>>"

I think I'm close to a self-contained repro, but I'm posting that little bit for now so that I can close a couple windows I have open about it :)

The old error is gone, at least :) So #738 hasn't actually increased the number of errors, just changed the kind of error that we see, undoing our old suppressions.

@cpovirk Sorry for not commenting on this (since a comment in a document when you filed this).

I cannot reproduce a difference between before #738 and after. I also tried typetools release checker-framework-3.42.0.
I tried your version and the following CF-only version:

import org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.qual.NonNull;
import org.checkerframework.checker.nullness.qual.Nullable;

class Eisop757 {
  @SuppressWarnings("nullness:return.type.incompatible")
  <T extends Object> @NonNull T nullCheck(@Nullable T reference) {
    return reference;
  }

  void foo(Foo<? extends Bar<?>> foo) {
    Bar<?> cell = nullCheck(foo.bar());
  }

  interface Foo<T extends Bar<T>> {
    @Nullable T bar();
  }

  interface Bar<T extends Object> {}
}

Are you using the CF Nullness Checker or the JSpecify reference checker?
