Circular dependencies in validators

I'm defining my tables using 
Table
Table
 from convex helpers, and I want to define some enriched versions of these documents using a Convex validator in the same 
schema.ts
schema.ts
 file such that I can pass it around to other validators and Convex functions. I'm running into circular dependency issues, however.

See the attached screenshot for the specific example. I can seemingly fix this by putting enrichment validators into a 
enrich.ts
enrich.ts
 file in each table folder, but is this really the only way? I would love to have both table validator and enriched validators and types in the same 
schema.ts
schema.ts
 file.

Hi @everyone with everything going on today I forgot to post on discord about our EU launch! We have a region in Dublin now! You can start using it immediately, even for folks on the free plan. https://news.convex.dev/we-finally-got-our-eu-visa/ Stay tuned for more regions but also stay tuned for more infra improvements where we improve latency for teams no matter where their servers are located. Just at the tip of the iceberg re all the optimizations we have lined up.
