Instead of relying of PyObject_GenericSetAttr (which looks to have been updated in Python 3.14 to ban this usage) we instead work out where the type dict is from __dictoffset__ and manipulate that.

That's a smart implementation. Nice.

… or use it only for if the type's type is exactly type. That would still catch the majority of extension types. The rest can then hopefully live with a penalty.

I've just changed the comment here for now.
That'd work as a solution, but doesn't seem worth implementing until we need it.

Python 3.14 introduced a new assertion that prevents us from using PyObject_GenericSetAttr directly in our meta type. To work around this, we manipulate the type dict directly. This workaround is a simplified variant of Cython's workaround from cython/cython#6325. The relevant Python change is in python/cpython#118454
