💻 Code
// minimal reproduce

type Arr = readonly any[]

function partialCall<T extends Arr, U extends Arr, R>(
  f: (...args: [...T, ...U]) => R,
  ...headArgs: T
) {
  return (...tailArgs: U) => f(...headArgs, ...tailArgs)
}

const machine={
  price: 30,
  age:10
}

function numChange<T extends Record<string, number>>( obj:T, key: keyof T, delta: number){
     return obj[key]+delta
}

const test = numChange(machine , 'age', 10)

// @ts-expect-error
const test1 = numChange(machine,'a',10 ,)


const machineNumChange= partialCall(numChange, machine)

// should i see a error here ?
const te1= machineNumChange('a',20)
🙁 Actual behavior

I'm using a partial function with passing another generic function , the returned function loses the type restrictions on its parameters.

🙂 Expected behavior

the returned function have the type restrictions on its parameters

Research direction

Start with the linked TypeScript Playground and the supplied minimal reproduction, focusing on the generic partialCall and numChange interaction. Confirm the inferred type of machineNumChange and compare it with the expected rejection of the 'a' key; done means the returned function preserves numChange's key constraint.
