…mances in favor of explicit available ones. The type checker does not support the notion of multiple protocol conformances; there can only be one conformance, and if that conformance is unavailable, you cannot specify your own available conformance. This is important for Sendable checking; if a framework specifies that a type is explicitly not Sendable with an unavailable Sendable conformance, clients cannot ignore Sendable violations involving that type. If a superclass wants to allow subclasses to add a Sendable conformance, it should not declare an unavailable Sendable conformance. (cherry picked from commit 7356fe8)
…rom the defining module, and diagnose redundant Sendable conformances. We still allow re-stating inherited unchecked Sendable conformances in subclasses because inherited Sendable conformances are surprising when they opt out of static checking. Otherwise, warning on redundant Sendable conformances nudges programmers toward cleaning up unnecessary retroactive Sendable conformances over time as libraries incrementally add the conformances directly. (cherry picked from commit 85b66d1)
Sendable conformances for source compatibility. If conformance lookup always prefers the conformance from the defining module, libraries introducing unavailable Sendable conformances can break source in clients that declare retroactive Sendable conformances. Instead, still prefer the available conformance, and always diagnose the client conformance as redundant (as a warning). Then, when the retroactive conformance is removed, the errors will surface, so the programmer has to take explicit action to experience the source break. (cherry picked from commit b139770)

Explanation: This change fixes an issue where the compiler did not issue redundant conformance warnings when a client tries to add a retroactive
@unchecked Sendableconformance when the library has already added an unavailableSendableconformance.Note that this change still does not warn if the original unavailable conformance is declared with
@_nonSendabledue to the way@_nonSendableexpansion happens during implicitSendablederivation, after no explicit conformance has been found.Scope: Only impacts redundant conformances where at least one of the conformances is unavailable.

Risk: Low; the redundant conformance diagnostics added by this change are downgraded to warnings unconditionally. This allows libraries to stage in unavailable conformances to
Sendablelater on, and clients that have already added a retroactive@unchecked Sendableconformance will receive a warning when they rebuild. Conformance lookup will still choose the available conformance to avoid breaking source compatibility in places where the client code uses the type in a way that requires an available conformance toSendable.Testing: Added new tests. Passed source compatibility on the
