Renaming type A to B fails with `object type B does not exist`

I was previously able to rename A to B: I replaced all instances of A with B in my .gel files, I gel migration create, and it asked me if I renamed A, to which I said yes, and it created something like:

CREATE MIGRATION ...
    ONTO ...
{
  ALTER TYPE default::A RENAME TO default::B;
};

One of the migration previous to this one started randomly failing, so I re-made the migrations, skipping the failing one. When reaching the one above, this is what happened: I replaced all instances of A with B in my .gel files, I gel migration create, and it failed with:

gel error: InvalidReferenceError: object type 'default::B' does not exist

If I manually create the migration to be identical (modulo hashes) to the one above, I get:

gel error: InvalidReferenceError: object type 'default::B' does not exist
gel error: error in one of the migrations

I was not able to replicate this behavior by copy-pasting my default.gel file (and removing references to other .gel files) to a new blank repo and creating a migration before the renaming and one after Doing the same with all my .gel files without modification lead to a gel error: SchemaDefinitionError: cannot produce migration because of a dependency cycle (note: A does not appear in that dependency cycle)

I sadly do not have more time to try to minimize this error

Oh I forgot to add, if I change something about type B, on gel migration create I either get the above, or:

did you create object type 'default::B'?
> n // I want to go to the rename prompt
gel error: InvalidReferenceError: object type 'default::B' does not exist

Could you post your schema/migrations, or email them to me at [email protected], with directions to repo?

This seems nasty but there's not really anything I can do with the report as given, unfortunately.

@upview I'll let you look into it
