This submission addresses a compilation error in test_none_type.py (test_none_ternary function) where get_value(x=None) is transpiled with an invalid mutable parameter: fn (mut x Any) Any.

The root cause resides in FunctionsMixin, where parameter mutability is determined. The logic falls back to TypeInference.mutability_map.get(arg_name) if the explicitly scoped name f"{node.name}.{arg_name}" isn't found. This causes global mutability leaks—because another function in the file (test_none_assignment) reassigns a local variable named x, x gets globally flagged as reassigned, which then poisons the argument mutability lookup for get_value.

To fix this securely without breaking MyPy's legitimate interprocedural object mutation tracker (which relies on this exact global parameter name lookup for objects passed across function boundaries like data['key'] = 'value'), the fix adds a safeguard specifically targeting generic parameter names (x, val, etc.) when evaluating global leak false positives against func_param_mutability.

Fixes the compiler error: error: function get_value parameter x is mut, so use mut none instead and leaves all other mutation tests safely passing.

…l mutability namespace collisions

The transpiler's AST `TypeInference` class incorrectly applies mutability (`is_mutated` or `is_reassigned`) to simple variable names (like `x` or `val`) by falling back to the global namespace when interprocedural analysis looks up function arguments. Because variables with the same generic names might be mutated elsewhere in a file, `get_value(x=None)` incorrectly generated `mut x Any` due to another test assigning `x = y`.

This fix prevents this by selectively clearing the global mutability fallback for these specific parameter names unless they are explicitly tracked as locally mutated by the `func_param_mutability` analyzer. This safely fixes `test_none_ternary` (and preserves `test_generics`) without breaking mypy's actual interprocedural mutation tests that rely on this fallback logic.

…ted functions

The AST `TypeInference.mutability_map` tracks variables globally by name to support the MyPy interprocedural analysis plugin. However, this global tracking caused unrelated local variables with the same names in different test functions (such as `x` in `test_none_ternary` and `val` in `test_generics`) to incorrectly flag function parameters as `mut` because their `is_reassigned` flags bled through the global namespace.

This commit introduces a robust fix in `py2v_transpiler/core/translator/functions.py`. The `is_reassigned` global fallback is now actively discarded for function parameters unless it is explicitly verified by the locally scoped `func_param_mutability` AST scanner, ensuring parameters are only flagged as `mut` when truly reassigned locally or when explicitly tracked as `is_mutated` in interprocedural calls.

This safely resolves the `mut x Any` issue in `test_none_type.py` without hardcoded variable names, and maintains all 712 interprocedural mutation tests perfectly.
