Code
export {}
type ShadowHostElementTagName =
| 'span';
type ShadowHostElementTagNameMap_ = {
[P in Extract<ShadowHostElementTagName, keyof HTMLElementTagNameMap>]: HTMLElementTagNameMap[P];
};
declare global {
interface ShadowHostElementTagNameMap extends ShadowHostElementTagNameMap_ {
}
interface HTMLElementTagNameMap extends ShadowHostElementTagNameMap {
}
}
Expected behavior:
pass
Actual behavior:
Type alias 'ShadowHostElementTagNameMap_' circularly references itself.(2456)

Research direction
Start by reproducing the provided TypeScript snippet in the linked Playground and confirm the TS2456 diagnostic versus the expected pass. Trace the compiler's circular type-alias checking for the mapped types and global HTMLElementTagNameMap declarations; done means the example passes without regressing circular-reference errors elsewhere.
