💻 Code

const fnLiteral: (...args: [`a`, number] | [`b`, string]) => void = (a, b) => {
  if (a === "a") {
    console.log(b);
    //          ^? number
  }
}

const fnAssert: (...args: [`a`, number] | [`b`, string]) => void = (a, b) => {
  if (isA(a)) {
    console.log(b);
    //          ^? number | string
  }
}
const fnTypeof: (...args: [number, number] | [string, string]) => void = (a, b) => {
  if (typeof a === "number") {
    console.log(b);
    //          ^? number | string
  }
}

function isA(val: unknown): val is `a` {
  return true;
}

🙁 Actual behavior

Both fnAssert and fnTypeof are unable to get TS to recognize b as its narrowed type (number). Only if a is checked against a literal does the narrowing works.

🙂 Expected behavior

The b parameter should be narrowed to number.

Additional information about the issue

No response

Empieza con la reproducción proporcionada en TypeScript Playground y el trabajo de control de flujo de PR #47190, comparando las comprobaciones literales con los casos de typeof y type-predicate. El issue está terminado cuando el parámetro dependiente b se estrecha a number tanto en fnAssert como en fnTypeof, coincidiendo con el comportamiento de la comprobación literal.
