Research direction
The issue body contains only a screenshot and does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Begin by interpreting the example in the attached image and locating the TypeScript compiler code that compares large singleton union types. Done should mean the compiler produces more useful diagnostics for that comparison, with tests covering the reported case.
