[ ] I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.
Reproducible Example
a_pa = pd.Series([127], dtype="int8[pyarrow]")
b_pa = pd.Series([127], dtype="int8[pyarrow]")
a_pa + b_pa

pyarrow.lib.ArrowInvalid: overflow
Issue Description
Using arrow types, this operation overflows, when using numpy, the bits that do not fit in the resulting dtype are dropped (by default). Is this difference in default behavior between numpy types and arrow types intentional? Is there a flag to control this behavior.
Expected Behavior
I expect same behavior as numpy, where the higher order bits are discarded instead of an overflow:
a_np = pd.Series([127], dtype="int8") b_np = pd.Series([127], dtype="int8")
a_np + b_np 0 -2 dtype: int8

Yes
Is there a flag to control this behavior.
No

Sounds like this can just be closed then as there's no issue. Is there a plan to add a flag to control overflow behavior with an arrow backend? As I believe numpy exposes that as a setting.

Let's keep the issue open, as I expect something similar to come up frequently for a while
