What is the issue affecting?
Type Checking
Expected Behaviour
---@class lanes.Lane<TResult...> : { [integer] : TResult... }
---Arg must be a fun!
---@generic TReturn..., TParams...
---@param func fun(...: TParams...): TReturn...
---@return fun(...: TParams...): lanes.Lane<TReturn...>
function lanes.gen(func) end
---@param a number
---@param b number
---@return number
local function add(a, b)
return a + b
end
local test = lanes.gen(add)
local x = test(1, 2)[1]
that x show up as a number
Actual Behaviour
x is <TResult...>
Reproduction steps
Use the code above

Research direction
Start with the Lua snippet in the report and reproduce the type-checking result in the Visual Studio Code extension. Trace how generic return types are inferred for lanes.gen and verify the inferred type of x. Done means the example reports x as a number rather than <TResult...>.
