no error when value of type type (aka type[Any]) passed to function with generic with constraint, generic inferred as the first constraint

[DetachHead]

from typing import TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T", int, str)


def foo(cls: type[T]) -> T:
    ...

asdf: type

reveal_type(type) # error: Expression type contains "Any"

a = foo(asdf) # no error

reveal_type(a) # int

I think this is three issues in one 😳

1. mypy doesn't care about type without type parameter and hides Any errors (🐞) No error with disallow-any-generics and type #12301
2. type[T] generics default to <nothing> when they are any

from typing import _T

def foo(t: type[_T]) -> _T: ...

t: type
reveal_type(foo(t)) # <nothing>

3. Constrained TypeVars default to their first constraint when they are anyified example in OP, and:

from typing import TypeVar

T = TypeVar("T", int, str)

def foo(cls: type[T]) -> T: ...

a = []

reveal_type(foo(a)) # int

This seems quite broken.

Regarding item 2, PEP-483 says the following:

If a generic type appears in a type annotation with a type variable omitted, it is assumed to be Any.

So, it is a bug. Curiously, with Type the correct behaviour is shown:

from typing import TypeVar, Any, Type

T = TypeVar('T')

t: Type

def test(cls: Type[T]) -> T: ...

reveal_type(t)  # note: Revealed type is "Type[Any]"

reveal_type(test(t))  # note: Revealed type is "Any"
