There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think not narrowing to unreachable in top-levels is fine. Top-levels are special already, e.g. we don't defer them.

Helps with confusing symptoms in #21132
It is unfortunate that it makes the logic a little more ad hoc / might lead to minimal repros being a little more confusing. But I think this is still a better and more helpful state to be in than before #20660 (relevant PR from the narrowing rewrite).
Hopefully we can add the ability to check unreachable code, which will fix this and other issues.
