Fix

Address the TypeScript diagnostic

// Run the TypeScript compiler for details:
npx tsc --noEmit
// Use the TypeScript playground to test your code:
// https://www.typescriptlang.org/play

Why this works

Review the full error message and location; the TypeScript handbook provides guidance on each error category.

What not to do

Suppress with @ts-ignore instead of fixing the type

ts-ignore hides real type errors and makes refactoring unsafe.
