It might come from explicit annotations (or lack of annotation), or from other sources, including conventions about defaults, models, or the mode nullsafe runs in. NOTE: This is complementary to <spanclass="xref-unresolved"title="unresolved reference to "InferredNullability.t""><code>InferredNullability</code>.t</span>. <code>InferredNullability</code> contains info about _actual_ nullability (what did nullsafe infer according to its flow-sensitive rules.). In contrast, AnnotatedNullability represents _formal_ type as it appears in the program code. NOTE: Nullsafe disregards user-provided annotations for local types, so annotated nullability applies only for types declared at methods and field level.</p></aside><dl><dtclass="spec

This is a controversial choice and might be an unsoundness issue. The reason is practical. The best we can do for third party is to register it in third party signature repository. Though this typically requires human review, in practice errors are inevitable. On the other hand, if the library owner explicitly annotated a function as nonnull, we assume this was made for reason. In practice, requiring such methods to be registered in third party folder, will introduce user friction but will not significantly increase safety. So our approach here is optimistic. If some particular method or library is known to contain wrong <code>@Nonnull</code> annotations, third party repository is a way to override this.</p></td></tr><trid="type-strict_nonnull_origin.ModelledNonnull"class="anchored"><tdclass="def constructor"><ahref="#type-strict_nonnull_origin.ModelledNonnull"class="anchor"></a><code>|
