Using "Branded types" (https://arktype.io/docs/expressions#brand) results in a type error that was fixed in the past here (#1031 and #1049).

The inferred type of 'GraphqlIdentifier' cannot be named without a reference to '.pnpm/@[email protected]/node_modules/@ark/util'. This is likely not portable. A type annotation is necessary.ts(2742)

Possible solutions are installing the EXACT same version and semver range as arktype uses from the locally installed package.

pnpm add -w "@ark/util@$(cat ./node_modules/arktype/package.json | yq -r '.dependencies."@ark/util"')"

Context

• ArkType version: ^2.1.29
• TypeScript version (5.1+): 5.9.3
• Other context you think may be relevant (JS flavor, OS, etc.): pnpm workspace
