Code generation probably works the best here, although it makes the build system more complex. You would have the typeid mappings as an actually existing file that you can commit into your git repo.

Or if your language supports metaprogramming (something like Nim, Zig, or Jai), you could write compile-time code that maps each of your annotated types into deterministically-determined ids. (An example of this in Nim: https://gist.github.com/PhilipWitte/dd6c670fca3baf573490)
