Do you get the error if you run npm upgrade? Just had a glitch in one of the dependencies...

Nevermind, I see it is still an issue. Will investigate.

I still get this error on node 22.18.0, eslint 9.36.0, eslint-plugin-jsdoc 60.7.0 with

/** @type {import('foo').bar} */
let foo;

[brettz9]

I have a fix ready, but feel obligated to delay until tomorrow based on #1519 .
