Summary

• Fixes: Passing a supported JSON Schema dictionary into structured-output generation raises TypeError before any model request instead of parsing the returned dictionary.
• Root cause: get_structured_output_parser documents and types dictionaries as valid schemas but calls the class-only issubclass builtin before dispatching dictionary schemas to _dict_output_parser.

Regression evidence

• Before: PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 uv run --frozen pytest -o addopts='' -p no:cacheprovider tests/utils/output_parser_test.py::test_structured_output_parser_accepts_json_schema -q exited 1

• After: PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 uv run --frozen pytest -o addopts='' -p no:cacheprovider tests/utils/output_parser_test.py::test_structured_output_parser_accepts_json_schema -q exited 0

Local full-suite note

I also attempted the repository CI selection, uv run pytest tests/ -m "unit or not integration". It reached 95% with unrelated live-provider, browser, network, and existing assertion failures, then was interrupted when an external proxy request stalled. The deterministic affected suites listed above pass.
