inferred type of '...' cannot be named without a reference to '...'

I found this in an old question from about a year ago when running into this issue in the process of adding type safety to Waku (new react framework by dai-shi) link to error

I plan to use type annotation to unblock this per The inferred type of '... cannot be named without a reference to '../../../../node_modules/arktype/

I wanted to re-ask this though, in case anyone here has come across a better way to fix this issue with a pnpm project over the course of the past year. @ArkDavid is this still something you see from time to time?

Edit: Maybe this question is better suited for twitter?
