I'm experiencing an issue where since moving from Apollo Gateway to Hive Gateway, a custom directive is being called when I wouldn't anticipate it to (and isn't called when using Apollo Gateway). To set a rough scene:

Subgraph 1

extend schema @link(url: "https://specs.apollo.dev/federation/v2.5", import: ["@key"])

directive @auth(scopes: [String!]) on FIELD_DEFINITION

extend type Query {
  getPlayerById(id: ID!): Player
}

type Player @key(fields: "id") @key(fields: "internalReference") {
  id: ID!
  name: String!
  internalReference: String! @auth(scopes: ["internal"])
}

Subgraph 2

type Player @key(fields: "internalReference") {
  internalReference: String!
  someOtherInfo: String!
}

Query

query getPlayerById($id: GUID!) {
  getPlayerById(id: $id) {
    id
    name
  }
}

Despite the query above not including the likes of the internalReference field, I'm finding the @auth directive attached to the field is being called. I find this is only the case given a key field is referenced across subgraphs. For example, if Subgraph 2 instead keyed on id instead of internalReference, the query would work.
