Ha! I see I elicited the copy/paste response I’ve seen elsewhere. The gp comment I was replying to implied a JSDoc only solution (“all in JSDoc”), but given the response, clearly they’re still relying on the TypeScript language service (aka lsp plugin) to achieve type checking inside their IDE.
Wishful thinking on my part that an alternative solution for JSDoc based type checking exists :)
Do you have a particular reason to care about the implementation details of your tooling's type checker?
