Summary

This PR improves error messages when positional arguments are missing from a function call.

Problem

When a user forgets a positional argument, mypy would previously emit multiple confusing type errors because the subsequent arguments would be "shifted" and mismatched with their expected types.

Solution

Detect patterns where a forgotten positional argument causes subsequent arguments to be misaligned with their expected parameters. Instead of showing multiple type errors, emit a single consolidated message that suggests which argument might be missing.
