Recommended action: Install dependencies (npm/pnpm install) so node_modules/typescript/lib exists, fix the path (e.g. ./node_modules/typescript/lib), then 'TypeScript: Select TypeScript Version' -> Use Workspace Version. With Yarn PnP, run the Yarn SDK setup so a tsserver path exists. Option: Install deps and reselect workspace TypeScript [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Workspace pins a TS SDK path Steps: 1. npm install (or pnpm/yarn) in the workspace 2. Verify node_modules/typescript/lib/tsserver.js exists 3. Command Palette: TypeScript: Select TypeScript Version -> Use Workspace Version Expected: Workspace TypeScript is used without warnings. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
