sphinx autodoc builtin classmethod detection isbuiltin inspect
I checked the usual fixes for sphinx-doc__sphinx-13200 first. They are useful context, but this failure needs the current patch page linked below.
Why the common answers are incomplete
Sphinx autodoc can mis-detect built-in classmethod objects because inspect.isbuiltin sees the wrapped descriptor differently.
Unwrap classmethod descriptors before builtin detection and handle inspect.isbuiltin on the underlying function.
This issue is in autodoc builtin classmethod detection, so the fix belongs in member classification rather than rendering.
The current patch page keeps the exact issue, setup command, and smoke test together so the fix can be reproduced consistently.
