@cypress/grep TS linter displays errors when using tags in "describe" but not "it"

Current behavior

As per the docs we have added the types to the tsconfig.json file like so:

"types": ["cypress", "@cypress/grep", "node"],

However, when using the tags in describe blocks, the Typescript linter displays errors e.g:

describe('Test file', { tags: ['@tag1', '@tag2'] }, () => { Argument of type ‘{ tags: string[]; }’ is not assignable to parameter of type ‘SuiteConfigOverrides’. Object literal may only specify known properties, and ‘tags’ does not exist in type ‘SuiteConfigOverrides’.

No errors are displayed when using them with “it” e.g: it('Test file', { tags: ['@tag1', '@tag2'] }, () => {

We can use //@ts-ignore to remove these but it is not ideal and the previous ‘cypress-grep’ package did not have these issues.

Desired behavior

No errors should be shown regardless of whether you use describe or it

Test code to reproduce

tsconfig.json:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "target": "es5",
        "lib": ["es5", "dom"],
        "types": ["cypress", "@cypress/grep", "node"],
        "resolveJsonModule": true
    },
    "include": ["**/*.ts"]
}

spec file:

describe('Test file', { tags: ['@tag1', '@tag2'] }, () => {})

Add the following before the describe or context in ts tests, it will suppress the error:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/ban-ts-comment
// @ts-ignore
describe('block with config tag', { tags: '@smoke' }, () => {})

Do we have a work around for this issue. I am facing the same issue in cypress 11.2 version with “@cypress/grep”: “^3.1.0”,
