Description
```py
from typing import Callable
def f[T](x: Callable[[], T] | Callable[[list[object]], T]) -> T: ...
a: list[int] | list[str] = f(list) # Argument 1 to "f" has incompatible type "type[list[_T]]"; expected "() -> Never | (list[object]) -> Never" [arg-type]
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by running the provided Python reproducer and examining how the checker handles generic inference for the union of Callable signatures in this assignment. Trace the source path that emits the [arg-type] diagnostic; done means the example no longer reports the incompatible argument while preserving correct type checking.
