MWE:

import Enzyme: Enzyme, Forward, Reverse, Const

nt = (a = 0.0,)
x = [0.5]

function f(x, nt)
    nt2 = deepcopy(nt)
    return nt2.a + x[1]
end

f(x, nt) # 0.5

Enzyme.gradient(Forward, f, x, Const(nt))
#=
ERROR: MethodError: no method matching deepcopy_rtact(::@NamedTuple{a::Float64}, ::@NamedTuple{a::Float64}, ::IdDict{Any, Any}, ::@NamedTuple{a::Float64})
The function `deepcopy_rtact` exists, but no method is defined for this combination of argument types.
