The headline of the split: cpp_function's make_function_record, initialize_generic, destruct, and the 440-line dispatcher move out of line, along with generic_type::initialize, enum_base, the function signature generators, module cache helpers, keep_alive_impl, get_type_override, error_already_set::what, and detail::print. The templated initialize(), descr.h machinery, and the module/class_ API stay in the header. Assisted-by: ClaudeCode:claude-fable-5

Description
Stacked on #6135. The headline slice of the pre-compilation split (~1,400 lines out of
pybind11.h):cpp_function:make_function_record,initialize_generic(~200 lines),destruct, and the ~440-linedispatchermove out of line. The templatedinitialize()and the constructors stay.generic_type::initialize/mark_parents_nonsimple,enum_base::{init,value,export_values}.get_cached_moduleetc.),keep_alive_impl,all_type_info_get_cache,get_type_override,register_exception_translator,detail::print, and the out-of-classerror_already_set::what/m_fetched_error_deleter.The
descr.hconstexpr machinery and all templates stay in the header. In precompiled mode the test module now measurably shrinks (the dispatcher and friends are compiled once into the static library instead of into every TU). Full test suite passes in both modes; header-only binary is byte-identical in size.Suggested changelog entry:
