Had you checked it with Pyright previously?

I've only used Pylance standard type checking in vscode. I have not used pyright as a stand alone package.

Use Pyright or basedpyright for now.

pylance is pyright

pylance is pyright + proprietary stuff on top, see https://docs.basedpyright.com/latest/ for a fork with some of pylance's features added.
