Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.6.4790-dev, 10b89271
- OS: macos
- OS Version: 14.3
- CPU Architecture: arm64
Bug Description:
When a binary has PDB, the types imported from that PDB exist in both system and debug types. However, I would expect them to exist only in debug types.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Load a PE binary with PDB.
- Navigate to the types section to observe duplicates in both debug and system types.
Expected Behavior:
I expect types imported from the PDB to exclusively exist in the debug info category.

Research direction
Reproduce the duplicate entries by loading a PE binary with a PDB and opening the types section. Trace how imported PDB types are categorized between system and debug types; done means they appear only in the debug info category, without duplicate system entries.
