Expected result

If useRef type is define using type assertion and when ref is used in any react hook, exhaustive deps breaks.

Works fine

import { useEffect, useRef } from "react";

const App = () => {
  const ref = useRef<HTMLDivElement>();

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(ref.current);
  }, []);

  return <div>Hello World</div>;
};

export default App;

Throw error This hook does not specify all of its dependencies.

import { type MutableRefObject, useEffect, useRef } from "react";

const App = () => {
  const ref = useRef() as MutableRefObject<HTMLDivElement>;

  useEffect(() => {
    console.log(ref.current);
  }, []);

  return <div>Hello World</div>;
};

export default App;
