Anomaly "in retype: Not an arity" when coercing from a structure to sig

[Tragicus]

In the following script, I have an element T of some structure S and I try to coerce an element x of T into @sig T P. The coercion search fails and asks coq-elpi to find a solution. elpi triggers unification between sort T and @sig ?e0 ?e2 and Coq raises an exception.

The code:

From elpi.apps Require Import coercion.

Elpi Accumulate coercion.db lp:{{

coercion Ctx V T E R :-
  std.spy (coq.unify-eq T {{ @sig lp:U lp:X }} ok),
  R = {{ @proj1_sig lp:U lp:X lp:V }}.

}}.
Elpi Typecheck coercion.

Structure S := Pack {
  sort :> Type;
}.

Canonical generic_S (T : Type) := Pack T.

Set Debug "unification".
Fail Check forall (T : S) (P : T -> Prop) (t : T) (x : @sig T P), x = t.

The debugging and error messages:

----<<---- enter:  
coq.unify-eq (app [global (const «sort»), c0]) 
 (app [global (indt «sig»), X0^4, X1^4]) ok

[unification] sort|ZApp(T)
              sig|ZApp(?e0, ?e2)

Anomaly "in retyping: Not an arity."

According to (coq/coq#18252 (comment)), it looks like the error comes from coq-elpi adding evars ?e and ?e1 with ?e0 : ?e and ?e2 : ?e1 but not adding ?e := Type and ?e2 := Type.

Please pass -bt to coqc and post the trace

Looks like a regression on the coq side, the catching anomaly thing in e 8.18.1 milestone. Could you do a cherry pick and test it.

[Tragicus]

It did not change anything.
