Please do 'yarn add -D @types/node' or 'npm i --save-dev @types/node' to overcome this issue. But I wish the contributors can fix this in the repo.

I would love this fixed too. Really bad when these are not added automatically.

couldn't one of us raise a PR that adds the dependency?

While it removes that error, it introduces a ton more when running watch:build

Fixed by running again npm install typescript --save-dev
