Fixing a False “TypeScript Types Removed” Event in npmx

This is a submission for DEV's Summer Bug Smash: Clear the Lineup powered by Sentry.

Project Overview

npmx is an open-source browser for the npm registry. It helps developers explore package metadata, versions, dependencies, documentation, and other information.

I worked on npmx issue #2791, which reported an incorrect event in the package-version timeline. npmx could say that a package had removed its TypeScript types even though valid declaration files were still included in the published package.

My fix is available in npmx PR #3102.
