Code

export interface Supervisor<N extends string, P = undefined, R = P, S = undefined> {
  constructor: typeof Supervisor;
}
export abstract class Supervisor<N extends string, P = undefined, R = P, S = undefined> {
  constructor() {
    if (this.constructor === Supervisor) this.id;
  }
  public id = 0;
  public abstract call(name: N | ('' extends N ? undefined | ((names: Iterable<N>) => Iterable<N>) : never), param: P, timeout?: number): Promise<R>;
}

Expected behavior:
pass
Actual behavior:
Property 'id' does not exist on type 'never'.(2339)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the example in the linked TypeScript Playground using the reported compiler version and confirm the diagnostic on this.id. Then trace the type-checking path for this.constructor === Supervisor and type inference around the generic abstract class. Done means the example passes without reporting that id is missing from never, with a regression test added for this case.
