typescript circular reference error

I'm following the sessions middleware blog post and running into a weird issue. Adding the sessions.ts file from https://github.com/get-convex/convex-helpers/blob/main/convex/sessions.ts to my project gives me the following:

[1] Preparing Convex functions...
[0] wait  - compiling...
[0] event - compiled client and server successfully in 66 ms (433 modules)
[1] convex/sessions.ts(88,14): error TS7022: 'create' implicitly has type 'any' because it does not have a type annotation and is referenced directly or indirectly in its own initializer.
[1] convex/sessions.ts(88,23): error TS2615: Type of property '"sessions:create"' circularly references itself in mapped type 'NameModule<"sessions", typeof import("/Users/me/project/web/convex/sessions")>'.

Any pointers?

hi! this is an error you may get if your typescript version is less than our minimum (we're working on the error message, sorry it's very confusing). would it be possible for you to upgrade typescript? i believe the command is npm update typescript
