Description
Issues like this pop up because we maintain a horrendous list of imports that needs to be updated any time a serializable field's type is exclusively imported in a TYPE_CHECKING block. Because they're only imported for the type checker, we get a name error when resolving the types unless we actually import it first.
I think the only solution is to move serialized field's type's out of TYPE_CHECKING blocks, but this will come with some tricky circular import issues.
