💻 Code

interface Element { type: Elem['type'], children: Node_[] }
interface CodeBlock extends Element { type: 'cb', children: string[] }
interface Field extends Element { type: 'f', name: string }
interface FieldList extends Element { type: 'fl', children: Field[] }

type Elem = CodeBlock | Field | FieldList
type Node_ = Elem | string

function getMeta2(fieldLists: Elem) {
	return Object.fromEntries(
		fieldLists.children
			.filter((n: Node_): n is FieldList => typeof n !== 'string' && n.type === 'fl')
			.flatMap((fl) => fl.children)
			.map((f) => [f.name, f.children[0]?.toString()]),
	)
}

🙁 Actual behavior

> .flatMap((fl) => fl.children)
Property 'children' does not exist on type 'Node_'.
  Property 'children' does not exist on type 'string'.

🙂 Expected behavior

The return type of filter should be FieldList[]

Comienza con el Playground enlazado y el ejemplo reducido de Array.filter del issue; luego sigue cómo se comprueba el callback explícito de type guard y cómo se infiere el tipo de resultado de filter. Confirma la corrección comprobando que el valor filtrado se trata como FieldList[] y que se acepta el acceso posterior a flatMap.
