💻 Code

declare function test(
  arg: Record<string, (arg: string) => void> | Array<(arg: number) => void>
): void;

test([
  (arg) => {
    arg; // actual: any; expected: number
  },
]);

🙁 Actual behavior

The contextual type for array element is sourcing the information from the string indexer of the Record type. This makes the contextual type of this function to be ((arg: string) => void) | ((arg: number) => void). The contravariant position of arg makes its type reduce to never (since it's string & number) and prevents the expected contextual type to be provided.

🙂 Expected behavior

I'd expect this contextual type to only be sourced from the Array member
