Fix

Implement all abstract members

WHEN Extending an abstract class

Implement all abstract members
abstract class Base {
  abstract doWork(): void;
}
class Derived extends Base {
  doWork(): void { /* implementation */ }
}

Why this works

All abstract members must be implemented in concrete subclasses.
