Start by running the Lua reproduction in the issue through the language server's type checking in the Visual Studio Code extension on Windows, then compare the inferred types for Test1:New() and Test2:New(). Done means the return annotation is handled consistently for the base and derived classes, with the reported type-checking mismatch resolved.
