Often, I find myself in need to find all references of "Active" from your example, which doesn't work with union values. This looks like a LSP limitation. Of course, you can move assign values into consts and union these instead. But that means you are half way there to custom run-time enums, and all the way after you wrap the consts with an object in order to enumerate over values at run-time.

I'm able to do that just fine in VS Code / Cursor.
I set up a union like this:
export type TestUnion = 'foo' | 'bar' | 'baz';
const bar: TestUnion = 'bar';
const barString: string = 'bar';
Use `const enum Foo`, they leave no traces in the transpiled JS and provide good IDE experience.
