💻 Code

type Renamed = readonly ({ [k: PropertyKey]: string } | undefined)[]

type Foo<T extends readonly (PropertyKey | undefined)[] | Renamed> =
    T extends Renamed ? GetKeys<Required<T>> : Required<T>
//                              ~~~~~~~~~~
// Type 'Required<T>' does not satisfy the constraint 'Renamed'

type GetKeys<R extends Renamed> = { [K in keyof R]: keyof R[K] }

// usage
type A = Foo<['a'?]> // ["a"]
type B = Foo<[{ a?: 'b' }]> // ["a"]

🙁 Actual behavior

TS fails to see that Required<T extends Renamed> extends Renamed.

🙂 Expected behavior

It should compile.

Additional information about the issue

Substitute readonly (PropertyKey | undefined)[] with something that is not an array and the problem disappears.

I get the same error when I do GetKeys<Id<T>> with type Id<T> = { [K in keyof T]: T[K] }.

Extract<Required<T>, Required<Renamed>> silences the error, but Extract<Required<T>, Renamed> does not.
