  • Yes, it is related to an existing section

What needs to be updated?

📌 Current Documentation Issue

The current documentation does not mention a known VS Code tooling issue where the
editor uses its bundled TypeScript version instead of the project’s local version.
This can lead to false-positive TypeScript and tsconfig errors in VS Code, even
though the project builds and runs correctly via the terminal.


✨ Proposed Changes

Add a dedicated section to the README explaining:

  • Why the TypeScript version mismatch occurs in VS Code
  • How to configure VS Code to use the workspace TypeScript version
  • That the issue is tooling-related and does not affect runtime behavior

This improves clarity for contributors and reduces onboarding confusion.


📋 Additional Context

This issue is commonly observed on Windows systems and Microsoft Store installations
of VS Code, where global settings may be read-only. Using workspace-level settings
consistently resolves the problem and aligns the editor with the project’s tooling.
