Description
When defining a document with a `field` and `computedFields` child item with the same name, the `computedFields` field seems to be appended onto the generated type. Resulting in undesired types for the field.
I would have expected the `computedFields` data to overwrite the `field` data, both the `description` and the `type`.
For reference, I am converting a comma separated string of `tags` into a parsed array via the `computedFields`. Here is an example of my document definition:
```js
export const Blog = defineDocumentType(() => ({
name: "Blog",
filePathPattern: `blog/**/*.md`,
fields: {
tags: {
type: "string",
description: "Comma separated listing of tags",
required: false,
},
},
computedFields: {
tags: {
description: "new description",
type: "list",
of: { type: "string" },
resolve: (item) =>
item?.tags?.split(",")?.map((tag) => tag.trim()) ?? undefined,
},
},
}));
```
Generates these types (simplified for the example):
```ts
/** Document types */
export type Blog = {
/** Comma separated listing of tags */
tags?: string | undefined
/** new description */
tags: list
}
```
Extra note: It also seems like the `computedFields` children do not support `list` types, or it may be a bug?
