💻 Code

type obj = {
  foo: 1;
  bar: 2;
};

type keyContaining1<
  str extends string,
  keys extends keyof obj = keyof obj,
> = keys extends infer key extends keyof obj
  ? key extends `${string}${str}${string}`
    ? obj[key]
    : never
  : never;

type _1 = keyContaining1<"foo">;
//   ^? type _1 = 4

type keyContaining2<
  str extends string,
  keys extends keyof obj = keyof obj,
> = keys extends keys
  ? keys extends `${string}${str}${string}`
    ? obj[keys]
    : never
  : never;

type _2 = keyContaining2<"foo">;
//   ^? type _1 = never

🙁 Actual behavior

The value of the generic param collapses to never when an additional conditional is added after the distributive conditional.
The error happens only when distributing with T extends T.
T extends any, T extends unknown, T extends infer U works fine.

🙂 Expected behavior

That the distributive type works similarly to the previous versions.

I see what the issue is. I'll put up a PR shortly.
