…on and quoting - Revert startsWith() back to indexOf() === 0 for process name checking to maintain compatibility with 'nodejs' executables - Fix inverted conditional logic for npm path validation and quoting - Use standard setTimeout with eslint disable for timer operations - Preserve exact original quoting behavior for paths containing spaces These changes maintain architectural improvements while ensuring behavioral compatibility with the original implementation.

- replace custom regex in sanitizePackageName with validate-npm-package-name for alignment with npm’s official rules - add local type declaration for validate-npm-package-name to fix TS7016 error - refactor package filtering to use a loop instead of .filter() with side effects, ensuring accurate cache hit metrics Notes: - kept existing setTimeout(...).unref() pattern as-is (did not switch to timers/promises) per decision

Replace multiple process.exit() calls with a centralized shutdown function that ensures proper cleanup before termination. Changes: - Add shutdown() function that calls installer.cleanup() and logs exit reason - Replace process.exit() in uncaughtException, unhandledRejection, disconnect, and SIGTERM handlers - Add SIGINT handler for graceful shutdown on Ctrl+C - Remove duplicate logging since shutdown() handles all structured logging - Ensure consistent cleanup regardless of exit path (error, signal, or normal) This prevents resource leaks and provides better observability of process termination in the typings installer worker process.

Pull Request Overview
This PR refactors the TypeScript typings installer to modernize its architecture and improve type safety, performance, and maintainability. The changes replace a monolithic installer implementation with a well-structured, component-based architecture using dependency injection patterns.
Key changes include:
- Architectural restructuring with separate classes for NPM client operations, registry management, and installation caching
- Migration from synchronous
execSyncto asynchronousspawnfor npm operations with proper error handling - Implementation of LRU caching, retry logic with exponential backoff, and comprehensive metrics collection

Sorry, but I don't think we need this. There's no reason for these refactors (no actual issue being solved), the PR looks unlike any of the code in the codebase, and it is incorrect in many ways (registering close handlers in library code!). It looks like this whole PR was just AI let loose to just "refactor" the code to make it "better". |

@jakebailey Thanks allot for your feedback, but just to clarify I hadn't used AI for code generation rather than things like tab auto-complete. |

Refactor Node Typings Installer for Better Architecture and Type Safety
Summary
This PR completely refactors the TypeScript typings installer to improve maintainability, performance, and type safety while addressing several critical issues in the original implementation.
Key Changes
Architecture & Separation of Concerns
Split monolithic installer into focused classes: NpmClient, TypingsRegistry, InstallationCache, and StructuredFileLog
Implemented dependency injection pattern for better testability
Created clear interfaces for all configuration and data structures
Type Safety Improvements
Performance Enhancements
Error Handling & Resilience
Security Improvements
-Added package name sanitization to prevent command injection.
Resource Management
Technical Details
Breaking Changes
New Features
Bug Fixes
Testing Considerations
The new architecture with dependency injection makes unit testing significantly easier. Each component can be tested in isolation with proper mocks.
Migration Notes
This is a substantial refactor that maintains API compatibility with the base TypeScript installer while improving internal implementation. The changes are primarily internal and should not affect existing consumers of the installer.
Note
I found these architectural issues while exploring the codebase and have implemented a comprehensive solution. I understand this is a substantial change and I'm open to breaking it into smaller, more reviewable pieces if the maintainers prefer that approach.
