I'm getting the same error in my schema, is there any solution?

I tried this other schema in production today, which seems much cleaner than my previous example, and I had the same issue. I had to rollback because it was producing the services that rely on Permify to go down.

`entity user {}

entity member {
relation user @user

attribute is_active boolean

permission active = user and is_active

}

entity team {
relation member @member
// TODO - Remove once migration is done
relation legacy_member @user
// TODO - Once migration is done replace with: action belongs_to = member.user
action belongs_to = member.user or legacy_member
}`

Sorry ping you again @rose knot , but this is a blocking issue for us.

Hello @cosmic gyro, We have reproduced the error and we are investigating now.
We will get back to you soon.

hi @cosmic gyro, i figured the issue. it was related to how we count the depth. i have opened a PR with the fix, and it should be included in the new release this Sunday.

#

thank you for pointing this out!
