Indeed, I know that much, list[dict[str, str]] is what is getting
passed in in this particular invocation of run_rw_queries().
For what it's worth here's the signature of that function:
def run_rw_queries (
link_obj:_TLnkObj=None,
queries:list[dict[str, str | list | dict[str, Any]]]=None,
end_tx:bool=False,
return_data:bool=None,
get_col_idx:bool=False,
verbose:bool=False
) -> tuple[list[dbapi.extras.DictRow], dict[str, int] | None]:
Given that I would have thought that passing in
list[dict[str, str]] for "queries" ought to be type safe.
Mypy indicates otherwise which I am not grokking as to why.

I agree that mypy's grasp of my intent from
queries:list[dict[str, str | list | dict[str, Any]]]=None,
into
"List[Dict[str, Union[str, List[Any], Dict[str, Any]]]]"
seems accurate. I just don't understand why list[dict[str,
str]] should not pass that construct.
