Steps to reproduce the bug

Update to 0.28.18 or later? Works fine in 0.28.17.

The commit that started crashing only added some uses of Pick<> defining a type and added @extends use for a class in JSdoc. The project uses TS mostly for type augmentation and doc generation.

Environment

• TypeDoc version: 0.28.18 – 0.28.19
• TypeScript version: 5.5.4 ? (uncertain what version CI uses)
• Node.js version: v22.22.2 on CI side, v24.14.1 locally
• OS: any (seeing on both Windows and in Linux running CI)

[mkahvi]

CI uses tsc 5.9.3

But now I'm getting the errors even with 0.28.17 so I am terribly confused.

Update

The cause seems to be a types dependency adding @league-of-foundry-developers/foundry-vtt-types. Typedoc building works fine if I delete that from node_modules. I don't personally want types from that dependency infecting my project anyway, but the dependency that adds it is desirable on its own.

I don't have a hope of reproducing and fixing this without a reproduction.
