```ts
// repro #51138
type SubTup2RestAndTrailingVariadic2 = T extends [
...(infer C)[],
...infer B extends [any,any,crash]
]
? [C,...B]
: never;
type SubTup2RestAndTrailingVariadic2Test = SubTup2RestAndTrailingVariadic2<[...a: 0[],b: 1,c: 2]>;
```

### 🙂 Expected behavior
The compiler should report a syntax error and not crash.

Research direction
Start with the Playground reproduction and the supplied tuple-inference example, then trace the compiler stack from inferFromTypes through inferFromObjectTypes and getConditionalType. Reproduce the crash with the listed TypeScript versions and identify the relevant compiler regression-test location. Done means this input reports a syntax error instead of throwing an internal TypeError.
