Description
Bug Report
(A clear and concise description of what the bug is.)
To Reproduce
from typing import Callable, TypeVar
T_ = TypeVar("T_")
P_ = TypeVar("P_")
def convert_to_hook(f: Callable[[P_], T_]) -> Callable[[list[P_]], T_]:
def hook_f(args: list[P_]) -> T_:
return f(*args)
return hook_f

Expected Behavior
The type check should fail and point to f(*args), because f is accepting only a single argument of type P_.
Actual Behavior
Success: no issues found in 1 source file

Research direction
Start with the reported Python reproduction and run it with the linked mypy-play example or a local mypy checkout. Trace callable and argument expansion type checking around f(*args). Done means mypy reports an error at f(*args), since f accepts only one argument of type P_.
