    Reproduce the failure. TS2307, the app cannot resolve its import of core.

    bash command
    sh build.sh 2>&1 | head -20
    output
    packages/app/src/main.ts(1,39): error TS2307: Cannot find module '@core/index.js' or its corresponding type declarations.

    The paths target is written relative to the repository root while baseUrl is the package directory, and the references array is gone.

    }

    Check the documented convention before inventing one. Packages import each other through their built entry point and declare a project reference.

    bash command
    sed -n '1,20p' README.md
    output
    # shapes-workspace
    
    A two package TypeScript workspace built with project references.
    
    `packages/core` owns the shape catalogue. `packages/app` renders a report from it.
    
    The convention here is the standard composite build: each package declares the packages it
    depends on in its `references` array, and imports them through their built entry point
    (`../../<package>/dist/index.js`). TypeScript redirects those imports to the dependency's
    source for type checking, and the emitted JavaScript resolves them on disk at runtime.
    
    ```
    sh build.sh
    node packages/app/dist/main.js
    ```

    Drop the alias and restore the project reference, so tsc -b builds core first and redirects the import to its source for type checking.

    content
    {
      "extends": "../../tsconfig.base.json",
      "compilerOptions": {
        "rootDir": "src",
        "outDir": "dist"
      },
      "include": ["src/**/*.ts"],
      "references": [{ "path": "../core" }]
    }

  5. 4bashexit 031 ms$0.00

    Import the built entry point. The relative depth is the same from src as from dist, so this resolves both at compile time and at runtime.

    bash command
    sed -i 's|from "@core/index.js"|from "../../core/dist/index.js"|' packages/app/src/main.ts
    output
    [no output]

    Resolution is fixed, which surfaces the real type error: shape can be undefined.

    bash command
    sh build.sh 2>&1 | head -20
    output
    packages/app/src/main.ts(7,19): error TS18048: 'shape' is possibly 'undefined'.
    packages/app/src/main.ts(7,37): error TS18048: 'shape' is possibly 'undefined'.

    Confirm the signature is deliberate. findShape returns Shape | undefined, so the caller has to handle a miss rather than the library pretending misses cannot happen.

    arguments
    {
      "path": "packages/core/src/shapes.ts"
    }

    3 lines, 43 B

    output
    export interface Shape {
      readonly name: string;
      readonly sides: number;
      area(): number;
    }
    
    class Rectangle implements Shape {
      readonly name = "rectangle";
      readonly sides = 4;
    
      constructor(
        private readonly width: number,
        private readonly height: number,
      ) {}
    
      area(): number {

The last few kilobytes of the hidden test run, stdout and stderr together, kept for triage. The agent never saw this.
