"""Various SCons type aliases.

For representing complex types across the entire repo without risking
circular dependencies, we take advantage of TYPE_CHECKING to import
modules in an tool-only environment. This allows us to introduce
hinting that resolves as expected in IDEs without clashing at runtime.

For consistency, it's recommended to ALWAYS use these aliases in a
type-hinting context, even if the type is actually expected to be
resolved in a given file.
