Description
Bug Report
mypy reports error where it is not suppose to.
To Reproduce
from typing import *
# types
MyDict = TypedDict('MyDict', {"a" : int, "b" : str}, total=False)
MyUnion = Union[
Tuple[Literal["arg_int"], int],
Tuple[Literal["arg_str"], str],
Tuple[Literal["arg_dict"], MyDict]
]
# variables
var1 : MyUnion = ('arg_int', 1)
var2 : MyUnion = ('arg_str', 'test')
var3 : MyUnion = ('arg_dict', {'a': 1})
Expected Behavior
No error is expected in this case.
Actual Behavior
The following error is reported:
error: Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "tuple[str, dict[str, int]]", variable has type "tuple[Literal['arg_int'], int] | tuple[Literal['arg_str'], str] | tuple[Literal['arg_dict'], MyDict]") [assignment]
Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 1 source file)
Your Environment
- Mypy version used: 1.9.0
- Mypy command-line flags: none
- Mypy configuration options from
mypy.ini(and other config files): none - Python version used: 3.11.8

Research direction
Start by running the provided Python reproducer with mypy 1.9.0 or a current version and confirm the assignment error for var3. Trace the type-checking path for tuple assignments involving TypedDict and a Union, then add a regression test showing that all three assignments are accepted; done means the test passes without the false error.
