fix: Exclude TypeScript source files from npm package

justin808 · claude · justin808 · commit c9be2a254338 · 2025-09-29T08:50:04.000-10:00
The critical issue in beta.5 was that TypeScript source files (.ts) were
being published to npm alongside compiled JavaScript, causing confusion
and potential issues for package consumers.

This fix:
- Adds a package/.npmignore file to exclude .ts files from the package directory
- Ensures only compiled .js and .d.ts declaration files are published
- Maintains the TypeScript source files in the repository for development

The npm package now correctly includes:
- ✅ Compiled JavaScript files (.js)
- ✅ TypeScript declaration files (.d.ts)
- ❌ TypeScript source files (.ts)

Resolves the "Cannot find module" errors users were experiencing with beta.5
