How can I run both json_serializable and my custom builder?

Question

package:my_custom_type_generator

build.yaml

builders:
  extractTypes:
    import: "package:my_custom_type_generator/builder.dart"
    builder_factories: ["extractTypes"]
    build_extensions: {'$lib$': ['extracted-types.json']}
    build_to: source
    auto_apply: dependents

package:my_custom_type_annotation

annotation.dart

@Target({TargetKind.classType})
class MyCustomType extends JsonSerializable {
  const MyCustomType() : super(explicitToJson: true, includeIfNull: false);
}

package:custom_type_project

some_cool_object.dart

part 'some_cool_object.g.dart';

@MyCustomType()
class SomeCoolObject {
  final String name;
  final int theAgeOfAThing;
  SomeCoolObject({required this.name, required this.theAgeOfAThing});

  Map<String, dynamic> toJson() => _$SomeCoolObjectToJson(this);
  factory SomeCoolObject.fromJson(Map<String, dynamic> json) =>
      _$SomeCoolObjectFromJson(json);
}

My custom builder finds the annotations and outputs the data that I need from them. I would also like for json_serializable to process these same annotations, which is why the annotation extends from JsonSerializable.

In the project package, I've found that if I don't include json_serializable in my dev_dependencies, my builder produces the desired output. But if I do include json_serializable, then my builder stops producing output, and json_serializable produces output instead.

Is there a way I can convince both json_serializable and my custom builder to both run? I assume I need to adjust a build.yaml somewhere, but I have no idea where or what needs to be added.

How can I run both json_serializable and my custom builder?
