When a module is disabled in an incremental build (e.g. switching from
-DBUILD_opencv_gapi=ON to OFF), its typing stub directory persists from
the previous build. The stubs generator only creates directories for
enabled modules but never removes old ones, and the copy step merges
rather than replaces, so stale .pyi files propagate to both the loader
directory and the install prefix.
This causes type-checkers (mypy, pyright) to report errors for stubs
that reference symbols from modules that are no longer available.
Fix both propagation paths:
- generation.py: remove all subdirectories under the stubs output root
before regenerating, so only currently enabled module stubs exist in
the build directory. Top-level files (py.typed) are preserved.
- copy_typings_stubs_on_success.py: remove stale .pyi files and
py.typed markers from the loader directory before copying fresh stubs,
so leftover stubs from a previous copy are cleaned up. Runtime .py
files are not affected.
Fix two issues that cause `import cv2` to fail when building with
-DBUILD_opencv_gapi=OFF:
1. In `has_all_required_modules()`, the function parameter `type_node`
was ignored in favor of the enclosing scope's loop variable `node`.
This works by accident when called as `has_all_required_modules(node)`
but is incorrect — the parameter should be used directly.
2. In `__load_extra_py_code_for_module()`, only `ImportError` was
caught. When a stale gapi submodule directory exists from a previous
build, gapi/__init__.py raises `AttributeError` (not `ImportError`)
because it tries to access C++ bindings that don't exist. Now catches
both exception types for defense-in-depth.

### Description
Fixes https://github.com/opencv/opencv/issues/28528
`HoughCircles` returns `None` when no circles are found, but the auto-generated Python type stub declares the return type as `MatLike` without `None`. This causes type checkers (mypy/pyright) to miss potential `None` dereferences.
**Fix:** Add `HoughCircles` to `NODES_TO_REFINE` in `api_refinement.py` using the existing `make_optional_none_return` helper - the same pattern already used for `imread` and `imdecode`.
This contribution was developed with AI assistance (Claude Code).
Fix inRange type signature to accept Scalar values #28536Fixes#28534
The Python type signature for cv2.inRange was too restrictive, requiring MatLike for lowerb and upperb parameters. However, the C++ implementation accepts InputArray which includes Scalar values (tuples, floats, etc.).
This caused type checkers to incorrectly flag valid code from official tutorials as type errors.
Added make_matlike_or_scalar_arg() refinement function to create union types MatLike | Scalar for affected parameters, matching the C++ InputArray behavior.

Fix Python Scalar typing issue #27528#27620
- Add ScalarInput and ScalarOutput types for better type safety
- ScalarInput: Union[Sequence[float], float] for function parameters
- ScalarOutput: Sequence[float] for function return values
- Keep original Scalar type for backwards compatibility (deprecated)
- Add refinement functions to apply new types to specific functions
- Functions returning scalars now use ScalarOutput (mean, sumElems, trace)
- Drawing functions now use ScalarInput for color parameters
- Resolves MyPy compatibility issues with scalar return values
- Maintains full backwards compatibility

Consider QRCode ECI encoding #24426
### Pull Request Readiness Checklist
related: https://github.com/opencv/opencv/pull/24350#pullrequestreview-1661658421
1. Add `getEncoding` method to obtain ECI number
2. Add `detectAndDecodeBytes`, `decodeBytes`, `decodeBytesMulti`, `detectAndDecodeBytesMulti` methods in Python (return `bytes`) and Java (return `byte[]`)
3. Allow Python bytes to std::string conversion in general and add `encode(byte[] encoded_info, Mat qrcode)` in Java
Python example with Kanji encoding:
```python
img = cv.imread("test.png")
detect = cv.QRCodeDetector()
data, points, straight_qrcode = detect.detectAndDecodeBytes(img)
print(data)
print(detect.getEncoding(), cv.QRCodeEncoder_ECI_SHIFT_JIS)
print(data.decode("shift-jis"))
```

int64 data type in FileStorage #26399
### Pull Request Readiness Checklist
resolves#23333
Proposed approach is not perfect in terms of complexity and potential bugs. Instead of changing `INT` raw size from `4` to `8`, we check int64 value can be fitted to int32 or not.
Collections such as cv::Mat rely on data type symbol.
This PR is addressed to 5.x branch first to cover `CV_64S` Mat. Later, it can be backported to 4.x

Python typing refinement for dnn_registerLayer/dnn_unregisterLayer functions #24066

Updates:
- Add `LayerProtocol` to `cv2/dnn/__init__.pyi`:
```python
class LayerProtocol(Protocol):
def __init__(
self, params: dict[str, DictValue],
blobs: typing.Sequence[cv2.typing.MatLike]
) -> None: ...
def getMemoryShapes(
self, inputs: typing.Sequence[typing.Sequence[int]]
) -> typing.Sequence[typing.Sequence[int]]: ...
def forward(
self, inputs: typing.Sequence[cv2.typing.MatLike]
) -> typing.Sequence[cv2.typing.MatLike]: ...
```
- Add `dnn_registerLayer` function to `cv2/__init__.pyi`:
```python
def dnn_registerLayer(layerTypeName: str,
layerClass: typing.Type[LayerProtocol]) -> None: ...
```
- Add `dnn_unregisterLayer` function to `cv2/__init__.pyi`:
```python
def dnn_unregisterLayer(layerTypeName: str) -> None: ...
```
