        pass

    type T = c

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: 96fac3a2e45029 (and 1.18.2)
• Mypy command-line flags: N/A
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): N/A
• Python version used: 3.13.7
• Operating system and version: Arch Linux

Start in mypy/semanal.py at clean_up_bases_and_infer_type_variables(), identified by the assertion traceback, and reproduce the crash with the provided nested generic class and type alias. Trace the semantic-analysis path for that example and verify that mypy no longer raises an AssertionError while processing it.
