VNode type definition causes error in TypeScript 4.8

[catrope]

Vue version

3.2.37

Link to minimal reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-w3uxlr?file=src/foo.ts

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a project that uses Vue and TypeScript
2. Add TypeScript code to this project that imports the VNode type from Vue
3. Upgrade TypeScript to 4.8.2 (which was released yesterday)

What is expected?

Things should continue to work

What is actually happening?

TypeScript fails with the following error, due to an incorrect type definition in the VNode type:

node_modules/@vue/runtime-core/dist/runtime-core.d.ts:1846:33 - error TS2344: Type 'HostElement' does not satisfy the constraint 'RendererElement'.

1846     transition: TransitionHooks<HostElement> | null;
                                     ~~~~~~~~~~~

  node_modules/@vue/runtime-core/dist/runtime-core.d.ts:1828:57
    1828 export declare interface VNode<HostNode = RendererNode, HostElement = RendererElement, ExtraProps = {
                                                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This type parameter might need an `extends RendererElement` constraint.

Any additional comments?

Setting "skipLibCheck": true in tsconfig.json works around this issue. But Vue should not ship erroneous type definitions.

I tried just changing the second type parameter of VNode from HostElement = RendererElement to HostElement extends RendererElement = RendererElement, but that causes a bunch of new errors, and resolving those causes more new errors, etc. What's going on seems to be not quite the same issue as https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-4-8/#unconstrained-generics-no-longer-assignable-to , but related to it.

I found this problem too.
replace file runtime-core.d.ts in line 1846
from: transition: TransitionHooks | null;
to: transition: TransitionHooks | null;
the error gone.
I've found another 4 error in build.
