Repro Code

const plugin: TSESLint.FlatConfig.Plugin = {
  configs: {},
}

plugin.configs = {
  recommended: [
    {
      plugins: {
        example: plugin,
      },
    },
  ],
}

Expected Result

The code should type check without errors. The code is a stripped down version of the example given on https://eslint.org/docs/latest/extend/plugins#configs-in-plugins except that I've replaced Object.assign with a direct assignment because Object.assign doesn't type check that it can be assigned.

You can see in that example that they set the recommended config to an array, but that's not allowed by the SharedConfigs type used by TSESLint.FlatConfig.Plugin["configs"]. If you replace TSESLint.FlatConfig.Plugin with ESLint.Plugin you can also see that it type checks without errors.

Actual Result

Type checking complains that an array can't be assigned to the type Config (the type for the values of SharedConfigs).
