`Iterable[Any]` incorrectly matches `Iterable[Never]` overload, inferring `Never` instead of the element type

Bug Report

When a class (e.g., Box in our example below) has two __init__ overloads — one taking Iterable[Never] (binding self to Box[Never]) and one taking Iterable[_T] (binding self to Box[_T]) — passing a value whose iteration type is Any incorrectly resolves to the Iterable[Never] overload, yielding Box[Never] instead of Box[_T].

# any_never_bug.py
from enum import IntEnum
from typing import Generic, Iterable, Never, TypeVar, overload, reveal_type

_T = TypeVar("_T")


class Box(Generic[_T]):
    @overload
    def __init__(self: "Box[Never]", val: Iterable[Never]) -> None: ...
    @overload
    def __init__(self: "Box[_T]", val: Iterable[_T]) -> None: ...
    def __init__(self, val: object) -> None: ...


class Color(IntEnum):
    RED = 1
    GREEN = 2


reveal_type(Box(Color))  # Expected: Box[Color], mypy gives: Box[Never]

% mypy --config-file /dev/null any_never_bug.py
/dev/null: No [mypy] section in config file
any_never_bug.py:21: note: Revealed type is "any_never_bug.Box[Never]"
Success: no issues found in 1 source file

Expected Behavior

Expected: Box[Color]
Actual: Box[Never]

Notes:

My best guess on root cause is that EnumMeta.__iter__ is typed in typeshed as returning Iterator[Any], so Color (the class) is seen as Iterable[Any]. I'm guessing that since Any is consistent with Never, mypy selects the Iterable[Never] overload rather than the more general Iterable[_T] one. However, Iterable[Any] should probably not be considered assignable to Iterable[Never]. I'm pretty sure Never is the bottom type and nothing except Never itself should be a subtype of it. Pyright and Pyrefly both correctly infer Box[Color] for this case.

Your Environment

• Mypy version used: mypy 1.20.2 (compiled: yes)
• Mypy command-line flags: None
• Mypy configuration options from mypy.ini (and other config files): None
• Python version used: Python 3.11.15

Starte zunächst den Reproduzierer any_never_bug.py mit mypy --config-file /dev/null und bestätige den angezeigten Typ. Verfolge die Auflösung der Überladungen für Iterable[Any] anhand der Signaturen Iterable[Never] und Iterable[_T]. Überprüfe anschließend, dass das Ergebnis Box[Color] ist, ohne das gezeigte Überladungsverhalten zu verschlechtern.
