feat(python): support configure field meta for python (#3091)
## Why?
This PR adds field-level metadata configuration support for Python,
completing the cross-language field metadata feature across all Fory
language implementations (Java, Rust, Go, C++, and now Python).
Field metadata allows users to:
- Use numeric tag IDs instead of field names for more compact
serialization
- Control nullable flags, reference tracking, and field ignoring per
field
- Enable schema evolution with stable field identifiers
## What does this PR do?
### 1. New `pyfory.field()` API
Introduces a new `pyfory.field()` function for fine-grained control over
serialization behavior per field:
```python
from dataclasses import dataclass
from typing import Optional, List
import pyfory
from pyfory import Fory, int32
@dataclass
class User:
id: int32 = pyfory.field(0) # Tag ID 0
name: str = pyfory.field(1) # Tag ID 1
email: Optional[str] = pyfory.field(2, nullable=True) # Tag ID 2,
nullable
friends: List["User"] = pyfory.field(3, ref=True, default_factory=list)
# Tag ID 3, ref tracking
_cache: dict = pyfory.field(-1, ignore=True, default_factory=dict) #
Field name encoding, ignored
```
### 2. TAG_ID Encoding Support
Implements TAG_ID encoding in the xlang serialization protocol:
- `id >= 0`: Uses numeric tag ID (2-bit encoding = 0b11)
- `id = -1`: Uses field name with meta string encoding
- More compact than field name encoding
- Stable across field renames
### 3. Field Header Format
```
Field header (8 bits):
- 2 bits: encoding type (0b00-10 = field name, 0b11 = TAG_ID)
- 4 bits: size/tag_id (0-14 inline, 15 = overflow)
- 1 bit: nullable flag
- 1 bit: ref tracking flag
```
### 4. Schema Evolution Support
When deserializing data with a different schema than the registered
class:
- TypeDef meta contains the sender's field information
- TAG_ID is resolved back to actual field names using the receiver's
class metadata
- Enables forward/backward compatibility
### 5. Files Changed
**New files:**
- `python/pyfory/field.py`: `pyfory.field()` function and
`ForyFieldMeta` dataclass
**Modified files:**
- `python/pyfory/struct.py`: Updated `DataClassSerializer` to support
field metadata
- `python/pyfory/meta/typedef.py`: Added TAG_ID to field name resolution
- `python/pyfory/meta/typedef_encoder.py`: TAG_ID encoding support
- `python/pyfory/meta/typedef_decoder.py`: TAG_ID decoding support
- `python/pyfory/__init__.py`: Export `field` function
**Test files:**
- `python/pyfory/tests/test_field_meta.py`: Comprehensive tests for
field metadata
## Related issues
#3002
## Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?
Yes, introduces the new `pyfory.field()` API for field-level metadata
configuration.
- [x] Does this PR introduce any public API change?
- [ ] Does this PR introduce any binary protocol compatibility change?
The binary protocol changes (TAG_ID encoding) are already part of the
xlang specification and implemented in other languages.
## Benchmark
No performance regression expected. TAG_ID encoding is more compact than
field name encoding.

Computes the fingerprint string for a struct type used in schema
versioning.
Fingerprint Format:
- Each field contributes: <field_name>,<type_id>,<ref>,<nullable>;
- Fields are sorted lexicographically by field name (not by type
category).
+ Each field contributes: <field_id_or_name>,<type_id>,<ref>,<nullable>;
+ Fields are sorted by tag ID (if >=0) or field name (if id=-1).
Field Components:
- - field_name: snake_case field name (Python doesn't support field tag
IDs yet)
+ - field_id_or_name: Tag ID as string if id >= 0, otherwise field name
- type_id: Fory TypeId as decimal string (e.g., "4" for INT32)
- - ref: "1" if field has explicit ref annotation, "0" otherwise
- (always "0" in Python since field annotations are not supported)
+ - ref: "1" if field has ref=True in pyfory.field(), "0" otherwise
+ (based on field annotation, NOT runtime config)
- nullable: "1" if null flag is written, "0" otherwise
- Example fingerprint: "age,4,0,0;name,12,0,1;"
+ Example fingerprints:
+ With tag IDs: "0,4,0,0;1,12,0,1;2,0,0,1;"
+ With field names: "age,4,0,0;email,12,0,1;name,9,0,0;"
This format is consistent across Go, Java, Rust, C++, and Python
implementations.
- The ref flag is based on compile-time annotations only, NOT runtime
ref_tracking config.
