E4324 error

Cycle of required addon dependencies within a workspace

area: manifest (x4xxx)
fails the build: yes

The workspace's addons depend on each other in a circle through addon-dependencies.required (A requires B, and B requires A). The client loads a required dependency first, so none of them could load.

Make one of the dependencies optional (addon-dependencies.optional).
