Research direction
Reproduce the diagnostic with the generic Map, NumberMap: Map, and map:Find(1) declarations shown in the issue. Start by tracing the Lua language server's generic-class type propagation and inspect how Map:Find resolves its key parameter. Done means the NumberMap specialization is applied when checking Find calls and the resulting diagnostic matches the concrete key type.
